Governor West, Secretary Hall and
Assessor Egan, of Davis County, members
of the Agricultural college board arrived il
Logan yesterday. In company with mem
bers of the county court and number Of
members of the city council, and leading
citizens of Logan, they were taken in
carriages to the bench northeast of the
| temple, where were seen two sites either OF
which was considered a suitable location
for the college.
Members of the party unanimously eX,
pressed themselves as greatly pleased with
the locations and the splendid view from
either The site on the brow of the upper
hill Just little north and east of the Fifth
ward school house seemed to give the most
satisfaction. The day was pleasant and
the view of the valley was most excellent
for this season of the year. There is some
where about ninety-three acres OF land IN
| this location. There can be had an abund-
ance of water and the soil is very fair, as
good as need be wanted.
The other site farther north comprising
| about SiXty-seyen acres is also a beautl-
full location, but not quite so convenient to
the city and does not afford so extensive a
view of the valley.
After returning from the locations, the
| agricultural board met in the court house
| and decided to accept the site just northeast
of the Fifth ward school house. They au-
thOrized the secretary of the board to ad-
vertise for plans for $40, 900 building, plans
to be delivered to the secretary before the
10th of April. On that date the agricultural
board will meet in this city to decide on the
plan. Work will then be pushed ahead as
rapidly as possible.
The following is the offer of the county
and city:
