gregate sum being $35,0 900.
A dozen big deals are reported on.
They will be given to the public when
completed.
Mr.. Gunnell says he is meeting with
most gratifying success in Buena Vista
lots. He says, however. that the in
vestors have scarcely recovered from
the holiday festivities yet, and there
will be grand awakening about the LIST
of February.
Real estate dealers are beginning
preparations to move upstairs. They
say that the buildings now occupied by
them On the principal streets will be
entirely too rich for their blood within
a few months. There are indications
that the Scott-Auerbac block will hold
a veritable nest of real estate men ere
long.
THE SALT LAKE sANITARIUM.
The removal of the site of the Salt
Lake Sanitarium from its proposed 10
cation TO @ point about 225 feet south of
the Valley House corner, adds another
enterprise 10 West Temple Street, which
has been building up rapidly during the
past few years. 1t is a more desirable
location than the one at first sought to
be secured.
THE WARM SPRINGS PROPERTY.
"Will the city disposed of the Warm
Springs property at any fgure?" is q
question now being put. 1t is very
doubtful if the present Council will SELL
a majority of them, it being under
stood, favoriug the holding and i'm
proving of it. Alderman Mccormick
is one of those who strongly oppose the
spending of nickel on this property,
and he says the city has just as much
right to buy and run livery
stable as speculation as it
has. to run a bath house,
Mayor Armstrong is decidedly OPP
posed to the sale, and says that the
prices so far offered are ridculously
small. He thinks the property is worth
from 100000 to $150,000 There are
still others who believe that the city
should retain control of the property.
neatly fit it up, and then charge
nominal fee for baths-merely sufficient
to keep up the repairs and guarantee
good service and attention to the pat
rons.
THE JORDAN AND SALT LAKE CANAL.
Work on the new section of the Jor-
dan and Salt Lake Canal is being
pushed ahead, and it will be completed
by the time there is any necessity to
useit. The new cut is from four to five
miles in length and extends from the
drop to the old paper mill. This will
raise the canal about forty feet above
it's present course and cut out about
four miles that has heretofore been al
most on a dead level. 1t will give
a better fall and, therefore,
heavy draw from the Cottonwood por-
ton of the creek. 1t has been esti
timated that 9 100000 gallons are lost
daily between Big Cottonwood and
Canyon Greek, owing to the lack OF
sufficient fall, and it is claimed that this
new canal will save all this. A portion
of the canal will be fumed.
THE EAST BENCH RESERVOIR.
The ground recently secured on Thir-
tenth East Street, between First South
and South Temple, consists of three
acres, and it is said to be of such char
aoter as to make good MAUI
raj reservoir, merely by excavat-
ing. There is ample room to
construct reservoir of 100000
gallon capacity, but it is more than
probable that one holding about 6,0O0,-
600 will be constructed. Work will be
commenced Immediately, and will be
pushed rapidly rward. The discharge
pipe will be or ne same altitude as
that of the upper system in City Greek,
SO that, while either system can be
used independently Of the other. both
can be thrown together in case OF ne
cessity. The reservoir will be ready for
spring use. 1t will greatly enhance
the value of property in the eastern
part of the city. The reservoir will be
supplied by the Parley's Canyon Canal.
wATERwoRKs REVENUE.
The yearly revenue collected from
users of city water amounts to about
$25 900. and it is rapidly inc reasing. At
the close of 1879, it will undoubtedly be
found that the residents of this city
have paid $50 900 for water service. to
say nothing of the street sprinkling tax,
and orher expenditures.
THE SEWERAGE QUESTION.
Mr.. Ritter says all the sewerage sur
veys have been completed, and he ex-
pectei that he should have been able to
present protlss and other information
10 the Council on Tuesday evening. In
this he was disappointed, but they will
doubtless be ready for consideration
when the Council again meets. A re-
port recently received from the city en-
gineer of Memphis is to the effect that
that that city has ffty-six miles of
sewers-some twenty-five miles having
been laid since December. 1886.
THE NEW JOINT BUILDING.
The proposed new joint city and
county building meets with appreciation
on all hands. The laying of the corner
stone of this most magnificent struc-
ture will be marked event in the pro-
gress of Salt Lake.
THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
