real estate deals. I am interested in
the Home Insurance Company, which
purchased piece of the old Constitu-
Iion property on Main Street. We paid
$3.50 per foot for it, The land was sub
Jet to lease when we purchased.
Arnold is the lessee. think we paid a
good fair price for it. In March, 1887,
taking the entire lot On Main street, I
should say that it was worth about $3.50
per foot, and in July, 1887, an increase
of 30 per cent. The Wells corner was
worth in March. 1887, about $3.50 per
front foot on Main Street, and the other
portion from 500 to $3.50 per foot. The
Angus M. Cannon piece was worth in
the aggregate $1,000.

Am recorder of deeds for Salt Lake
County. The old Constitution lot was
worth in March, 1887, as follows: Per
front foot on Main Street, an average
OF about 1926. with an increase of bout so
per cent. In one year; in March, 1887,
the north frontage was worth about
5000, with the same increase up to
July, 1888. The lease, running fifteen
years would not be much of an in
and bat little of an ad-
vantage. The Wells corner on Main
Street in 1887, was worth from 1920 to
$3.50 per foot in 1887. and about so per
cent. more in 1888. The remainder
