The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1881-06-26

The subdivisions are not given
on a scale, but are merely approx
mated. The population Of the city
is estimated, as a basis, at 1880,
which. with the total frontage on
the north and east groves, gives one
rod of front to each 10 souls, be-
sides considerable space for settle
mentS in the country which may
choose to participate. The popula-
ton of the several wards is then
taken, and each allowed one rod
frontage for every 10 souls in it.
Thus the frontage allowed each
ward is as follows: First Ward, 4
rods; I'd, 4rods; 3rd, 8 rods; 4th, 8
rods; 9Th, rods; 9th, rods; 18th, 6
rods; Sth, rods; 9th, 4 rods; 10th
6rOds; 18th, rods 18th, 5 rods; 18th,
GrOds: 14th, 6 rods; 18th, 6 rods;
10th, I rods; nth, 6 rods; 18th, 4
rods; 10Th, s rods; goth, Z rods; DIST,
: rods; Farmers Ward, 8 rods; Sugar
House, A rods; Mill Creek, s rods;
Big Cottonwood, 4 rods. As will be
seen in the diagram, there is still
some undivided room.
1t must be borne in mind that
some portions of the grove are more
than ten rods deep,and in such cases
the additional ground which sur
rounds the spot where it is designed
to place the grand stand, has been
reserved for standing room. so that
all may listen to the exercises and
still be in the shade.
The grand stand, as will be seen
above, will be located in an open
space in the northeast part Of the
park, and has been selected for it's
singular convenience for the object
designed, the public being able to
hear all that takes place, to gather
around the stand on every side ex-
cept the west, and be completely
shaded by the fine locust trees, as
shown in the diagram.
The barbecue will take place near
the lane, IN large open space. The
roasting OF the cattle will commence
about 5 o'clock am.
Each. ward will have an opening
IN the middle Of the frontage
allotted to it, and those interested
can now go to the park and see
exactly where the ground allotted to
Ohem Is located, the number of the
ward being painted in plain
ietterS on a post in the centre of
tnelr ground. This ground is now
Inc property Of the ward, and each
IS allowed to do as it pleases with it.
and fix it up to suit its own taste. so
long as it conforms to the general
order.
Another notable and praiseworthv
feature is the arrangement of the
wards. All wards embraced in the
FIRST Municipal Ward, are given
mat part Of the grove which is
nearest to them-the west side;
nose wards embraced in the Second
MUNICIPAL Ward are allotted the
ground nearest them-the north
west part of the grove: and the re-
m u, after the same manner.
t i us accounts for the separation of
i ;nsl wards from their regular numer-
OAOSI.
