N. PRATT, secretary and manager of Phoenix Street Railway, was born in California, in Cisco, July 19, 1867. He was educated in San Francisco and is a graduate of St. Matthew's Hall, of that place. After spending one year on a ranch and four years in a bank at Riverside, California, he left for Arizona, and in 1889 was made secretary and manager of the Phoenix Street Railway, which position he has held up to the present. To his untiring vigilance and faithfulness is the cormpany largely indebted for the splendid road and equipment they have, and above all for the successful operation of the same. Although a young man, he is thoroughly capable of filling his present position, and is wide-awake and progressive. Mr. Pratt was married in 1891 to Miss May Heap, of Riverside, Cal., and they have two sons, Howard and Harold. Mr. Pratt is a stockholder in the street railway, and is the owner of considerable property, both in the city and in the country. He is also secretary and manager of the water works.
