COMMERCIAL STOCKS.

The year 1897, or at least the latter
part of it, has been distinguished for
the easy money market which prevailed
in Salt Lake City. Not since prior to
the panic of 1893 has there been a time
when money was so plentiful as at the
present time.
The banks statements show that they
are embarrassed with a plethora of
funds, and local representatives of out
side lenders say it is impossible to place
money at any terms.
This condition of affairs has revived
the inquiry for local dividend aging
stocks, and at the present time stand
ard stocks which can be relied on to
make re uIar disbursements to stock
holders, are in excellent demand.
The most active movement of late
months has been in z. c. NJ. L, Deseret
National Bank and Utah Sugar COM
pany as those stocks pay larger divi-
dends on their face value than any
others in the market.
AT this writing T. c. NJ. I. is quoted at
$40 per share, o premium of $40, and
those best informed do not hesitate to

effect of almost doing away with the

conducted by sisters of the holy cross
and is the finest school for girls in
the whole intermOuntain region.
All Hallows college, conducted by the
Marist fathers with a faculty of IA
members, offers the same advantages
to boys and young men who desire the
advantages of high grade school and
home combined. In this school prop
erty 100000 is invested, and it is CON

SALT LAKE CITY.

The financial transactions of Salt
Lake City for the year are fair index

purposes VIII approximate $500, 600, d
saving of over $4,000, not considering
a reduced revenue Of fully 100000

mands before the new year is far adj

The sum of Si27, 400, being 5 per cent
OF the bonded debt of $2,5 600, goes out
annually for interest. This drain is
nearly 60 per cent of the general tax
revenue charged up to the county
treasurer to collect for the city on the
1897 assessment rolls. OF course, the
municipal government has licenses,
water rates, fines and other miscellane-
Gus sources Of revenue, including spec
sal Improvement taxes, which must be

THE CLEARINGS.

One of the things that business, men
watch most closely is the record Of
clearings, for it indicates more. accu-
rately than any other test t'ne true
condition of business
When 1897 dawned, many predicted
that the clearings for the yeflr in Salt
Lake would fall far below the showing
for 1896, but the record demonstrates
that the city has not only held it's own,
but has shown very marked increase.
There was a big Gil advantage to
overcome during the fir st three months
of the year, but since tlien 1897 has gem
orally shown an inereas Sc, so that at the
end of this month, tn e total gain for
the year over 1896 viii 4 be $3.50 10457..
The returns for Deem Der are nearly all

500 1902 for 1896.
The record by months, as shown by
the clearing house returns, is as fol-
lows:

the interest paid on the bonded debt,
the setting aside of $4,000 to the sink
ing fund and the cost of erecting a
new school building Aside from
maintaining the school and aiming to
erect one new building for the ever
increasing needs, the policy of the
board has been to redeem such num-
Der of bonds yearly as will result in
the entire cancellation of the DEBT at
the time of it's maturity Already the
liability of $S25, 900 worth of bonds is
sued to erect buildings and purchase
sites, has been reduced to $715,000,
reckoning the invested sinking fund.
A MODEL SCHOOL BUILDING.

East street, near Fourth South, is

Lakes schools are envied by cities of
equal or less Importance. Investors
and homeseekers have accorded to this
city the distinction of being the ideal
educational center of the intermountain
region. This fact alone should and
does enter into consideration when tax
payers weigh the beneficial results of
our schools from a business stand
point.
During the year just closing the to-
tai cost of maintaining the free schools,
including the salaries paid to over $50
teachers and cost of text books, etc,
furnished to pupils, approximates $780,
900. This, of course, is exclusive of
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-12-26

Another deficiency is in the matter
of libraries, but with the opening Of
the new city library and free reading
room early in January the want of
accessible reference books will have
been filled in a great measure. The
school board hopes to effect arrange
ments with the library trustees where
by pupils will be enabled to become
patrons of the library on a generous
scale.
From every consideration the public
schools of Salt Lake City are an insti-
tuition to be proud of, the results ac-
cruing to the thousands of bright pu-
pills is a matter of general gratifica-

doors, is an element which must not
be overlooked in considering these mat
ters. Adjacent to the city are cool can
yons, where summer is healthfully and
profitably spent.
Surrounding the. valley, in which the
city appears as a ruby in a setting of
emerald, are the grand mountains,
whose snow-capped peaks tower away
into the sky. Awe inspiring are they
when winter crowns their heads with
white, and when summer decks their
sides with pleasant green. Well has it
been said that
''They who view Gods handiwork closest,
shall know him soonest"
If things of beauty create impressions
for good, then the people who live here
should be far better than their fellows
who do not.
But all this has been, what the mer-
cenary call visionary. To get to the
practical, to leave the poetical behind,
what are the artificial elements?
The railroad facilities are perhaps
the most important of all the artificial
advantages enjoyed by a city To OBJ
tain cheap, and numerous communica-
ton with the outside world is desirable.
Salt Lake has two transcontinental
systems to the east and two to the
west; ample facilities for reaching the
states on the north and a fairly good
system of internal arrangement.
Its commercial advantages are such
as to command attention. 1t is the
distributing point for all the country
situated and being in the great basin
of the intermountain country. With a
population of $4,000 people it makes a
bank clearing statement of $75,000,000
per year.
It's manufacturing enterprises are
constantly on the increase and they
will continue to grow as the natural
resources in the state are developed.
The mineral industry will have to be
supported from home market, and it
is believed in very short time this
will be done almost exclusively.
| The school system is mentioned else
where. 1t is the pride and glory of
Salt Lake and is one of the strongest
advantages the city presents to the
homeseeker.
The city is endowed with many adj
vantages which would require pages
to enumerate. 1t is these which have
made the city more talked of than any
| in the world. and all the praise that
! has been bestowed upon it is deserved.
In the language Of Sheba:
"Howbeit, 1 believed not the words

of the Salt Lake City public schools.
AT this period the schools are accom-
plishing excellent results as, in fact,
they have ever since the dawn of the
new era in 1890. When the public school
system was inaugurated, with the
board of education in control, and DR..
j. F. Millspaugh in executive charge
of the school work as superintendent,
there were only 6,36S pupils enrolled;
there were no school buildings worthy
of the name, and the work Of the dis
trict institutions was no more crafty

ranted. Now we have 16 substantial,

THE VOLUME OF TRADE.

The volume of trade is, after all, the
truest index of the commercial condi-
tons prevailing at any center, and,
Judging from this standard, Salt Lake
has not only held its own, but shown
gratifying increase over the proceed
ing year.

Besides the beginners classes there

that the air is not of that humid kind

which pupils pass before entering upon
the four years high school course.
There are now $40 students at the high
school and 81 are in the graduating
class of '9S. The one great need is a
suitable building to be erected for the
high school. With such a building as
Salt Lake City ought to have, fully as
many more pupils would avail them
selves of the boon opportunity of finish
ing their common school education;
but the betterment of facilities in this
regard is a matter for the near future
to accomplish.

and well appointed, as they are, but
no better than the grand cause of free

Considering the natural increase in
population, the very large and con-
stantly larger number of pupils at
tending the public schools is almost
phenomenal. 1t, however, demonstrates
the fact that the very excellent edu-
cational facilities in Salt Lake City are
fully appreciated.

the grades and in the high school. This
laudable aim is eXanlpled in every I'M

is, however, no exaggeration to State
that the schools range as high in the
attainment of excellent results as do
like institutions of standard grade in
