The L. A. & S. L. will shortly legally alter itself to the San Pedro, Los
Angeles and Salt Lake, per item from L. A. dated 30th. (Pitchard, Salt Lake Daily Tribune, 1 December 1900) (ed. note:
SP,LA&SL was incorporated on March 20, 1901; but was not "legally
altered" from the LA&SL; it was the other way around, the SP,LA&SL
was renamed to the LA&SL in 1916.)

Tribune, 19 April 1903)
