and dollars when completed. Mr.. Senior
has also built model barn in the rear of
his residence which has a flowing well with
hose attachment and contains all the mod
ern cOnveniences of a city livery barn.
EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES.
The education of the youth has not been
overlooked and a public school for the ben
eft of the children of the residents of the
plat and its surroundings is in successful
operation. In addition to this, the precep-
tress, Mrs. Whipple, is also conducting Il
a private boarding school known as the
Garden City academy. A number of young
ladies from the city are awaiting themselves
of the opportunities offered and the school
is becoming so crowded that an addition to
the two story brick structure now in use
has become necessity and will soon be
added. A number of pupils are well ad-
vanced and the study of the languages has
been added to the curriculum. A piano
has just been purchased and the study of
music will also be an important adjunct to
the school.
TRANSPORTATION.
The two great problems which were to
be solved to make Garden city model resi-

means will be enabled, through building

pleasant, were plenty of wholesome water
and cheap and rapid transportation. The
first problem has been satisfactorily set
tied even to the most skeptical, as mere
visit to the place will show, and MIR. Shear
man, well known in Salt Lake, is now in
New York making arrangements for the
construction of rapid transit line, which
will be put N operation as soon as possible.

THE TRACT
comprises 800 acres and that it possesses
advantages which no other suburban addi-
ton claims cannot be denied. The tract is
so large that the owners can afford to cx-
pend large sums of money to furnish the
rapid transit and other requirements of a
suburban plat. The streets are fully
twenty feet wider than those of the
average addition and the alley
ways running through the blocks are
are also OF extra width. The plan OF sell
ing the lots is also another incentive to the
man of moderate means, who is enabled 10
purchase home at an outlay of from s. 10
SO cash and s. monthly until the lots are
paid for. Lots are now selling at from 500
to 5000 each, according to location. The
title is absolutely perfect and deeds are
being issued almost daily, and Mr.. Senior
stated yesterday that they had yet to find
the first dissatisfied investor who had
visited the plat Another advantage gained
by this large plat is that it can, and is being
made, central point where business can
be transacted without coming to the city,
if so desired, schools established and
churches built. E. w. Senior, the owner
of the plat and promoter of the enterprise,
may well feel proud of his accomplishment.
He was the first in the field and soon after
his success was assured, a number of
other additions sprang up on all sides,
which are also benefit to Garden city and
tend to still further draw the attention of
people and capital in that direction.
