GLENDALE ADDITION.
A Most Beautiful Spot on the
Jordan River.
THE LOTS ARE NOW LAID OUT.
It is Very Desirable Property, and is Within
Ten Minutes Drive of Main
Street.

Street.
And now another addition" to Salt Lake
comes in view, and will be on the market
in few days. This time it is situated in
the Sixth ward, upon the east and west
side of the Jordan river, is twenty-seven
acres in extent, and is the property OF
Mr.. William Husbands, United States
gauger, of this city. A HERALD reporter
paid visit to the spot the other day, and
took in the location at a glance. He found
it could be reached by buggy, in about ten
minutes from the postoffice. BY travelling
down Main to Eighth South street and go
ing directly west to Seventh West street,
the centre of the new edition can be
reached in a direct line
Mr.. Husbands has had this land-which
he intends to call the Glendale Addition
laid off in convenient sized lots, and a
plan-as complete as anything else in its
hne-can be seen at the Midland Invest
ment companys office, that company hay
ing been given the sale of the ground in
question. An inspection of the plan, and
VISIT To THE GROUND
will, upon consideration, convince almost
everybody that this addition is bound to
demand the attention of those who are in
search of land upon which to erect a home,
or those buying land, it may be, for specu-
latlYe purposes only.
Lots, as already stated, are laid out in
convenient sizes, say about thirty-five to
sixty feet front and seventy to one hun
dred and eighty feet deep, and can be
bought at very reasonable price, and upon
such terms that there is scarcely any one,
however poor, who cannot arrange to pay
for his ground upon the most satisfactory
terms he could expect to receive.
As already intimated, Mr. Husbands
land lays partly on the east and partly on
the west side of the river Jordan It is
beautifully situated, and the greater por-
ton of it is at least seventeen feet above
the bed of the river, an advantage that will
be readily recOgnized-one that assures
purchasers that their land is high and dry.
Mr.. Husbands has held this land for
many years, and has spent considerable
money in improving it, not in one direction,
but in great many different ways that
cannot be enumerated here. One thing,
however, he has not forgotten to do-that
which always ought to be done when cir
cumstances will allow and that is to plant
trees, and in other respects beautify the
ground which he owns. Last year, he
planted
OVER THREE HUNDRED TREES
of various kinds, and they are all doing
well, and will show up to advantage before
long
The addition" when visited will at once
be recognized as a very desirable property.
1t has no disadvantages as a building spot.
From the higher portions of it. a very fine
sight can be beheld all around. The grand
Wasatch range of mountains to the east,
the Oquirrh range to the west, with the
surrounding valley of Salt Lake, showed
up to good advantage. Looking to the
northeast, Salt Lake city presents beau
tiful appearance, the temple, the Wasatch
building, and every other prominent struc-
lures coming distinctly into view. Not only
this. Upon clear day, with the aid of
small glass, one can count almost every
street in the city.
Through portion of this addition the
Jordan river makes a beautiful bend form
ing, naturally, a choice spot for park.
The brush now growing there has only to
be cleared off, the ground prepared, trees
planted, and grass sOwn to make it a very
fine recreation ground a valuable adjunct
10 any addition. The5and is
WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS,
and will as already stated, be put on the
market in d short time. 1t cannot help de
the attention of the public. The
water supply is ample. Water from the
river can be made to flow with ease through
every street in the Glendale Addition"
Flowing wells can be had by driving, so
that there is no question as to water sup
ply. The soil is rich, and, therefore, easy
Of cultivation.
Although the addition can be reached
in about ten minutes from the centre of the
city, by buggy, yet there will undoubtedly
be a street car line laid whenever it is re
guired for the convenience of residents in
Glendale.
In addition to all that has been said, it
may not be uninteresting to the public to
know this land was plated and laid out by
Mr.. G.. c.. Clemens and ex-POstmaster
Moore as far back as 1870. 1t was then
looked upon as a natural addition to Salt
Lake city, being higher than the surround
ing country, and possessing attractions
which other spots near by could show. If
the land in that early day possessed such
it is safe to say that, not to
speak of the improvements that have been
made upon it up to the present time, these
advantages have not deprecated. The
land must now be of
VERY MUCH GREATER VALUE
The lots will be sold upon very easy
terms, both to rich and poOr-so much
down, the balance payable at four, eight
and twelve months, at 4 low rate of in
terest.
