who was probably more enthusiastic than
anyone else over the First South street
siteS twas seen by a HERALD reporter yester-
d.sf full of information on the respective
advantages and disadvantages Of the up
town and downtown sites. IN the first
place said Mr.. Jennings. the Second
South street lot is too far from business;
the building can't 20 any nearer business
after II Is once put there, and business can't
20 any nearer TO it-at least not for num-
Der of wears. To begin at the corner. the
first ten rods was owned until very recently
ny a Mir. Phipps, a PittSburg gentleman,
v no was represented in this city by James
p Glass. Mr.. Glass told me that Phipps Of
fired to put up good brick building on
the lot, if he Glass could guarantee him
1 per cent. on the money invested: Mr..
Glass canvassed the town and was obliged
to reply to Mr.. Phipps that he could not
insure him per cent. on the money. That
settled PhiDps ana he sold out to a Salt
Lake real estate firm who are not likely to
build there. The next seven rods is owned
by the minor heirs Of the Hooper estate.
Nho will not be of age for two and one
8dlf Years and cannot build or sell in that
time. Then the next five rods is owned
by a Colorado Spectator. and viii
not be built up. The next i've
belongs 10 the estate Of James b.
Gl2ss. So YOU see the twenty-five
II b from the corner to the pro
posed site will undoubtedly remain in its
present condition for years TO come.
Then again rents are higher on
First South than Second South by
nearly 30 per cent and First South IS
building up more rapidly than any street in
the city. The offer made for First South
was $1,000 better than any othc:' and don't
see how the chamber can get around tt
HENRY DINwOODEy,
one of the subscribers to the First South
street site. said that this street had put in
the best offer and under the circumstances
no one interested in the street should do
anything toward putting the building down
