The spending jag in Salt Lake on New Year's eve reached the highest point of delirium in the history of this city of spenders. The cafe proprietors reaped a harvest in the few hours that Were left of the tottering year and each downtown resort presented a gay scene wherein the revelers recked not of the fleeting hours nor of the effect on the day after.
