on East Temple street. from Henry

These are some Of the business pro-
perty transfers only and DO not take
into account the transfer to Col. and
Mrs. Holmes Of the historical Gardo
house property ON South Temple and
First East streets. for $4,000 and the
sale Of other splendid pieces OF resi-
dence property involving the payment
Of hundreds OF thousands Of dollars
IN the aggregate.
AS was stated previously there has
been no boom In real estate By any
means, but for sturdy justlfable ac-
tlyty and growth Salt Lake cannot be
surpassed by any city in the West.
THE GENERAL SITUATION.
AS to the general situation Mr. Ell i.
Kelsey says that Salt Lake has its
drawbacks as we'll as other cities, but
ON the whole there is room for much
congratulation over the state Of the
real estate market
Business properties right In the heart
of town command good stiff prices and
there is a good demand to strengthen
them, Growth Of the town and gem
eral upward tendency Of all business
justify the values set upon such proper
ty and there is absolutely no fault to
find with this part Of the market.
Go little distance from East Temple
street. either east or west Of the main
business street, say between three and
Ave blocks on either side, and an unde-
srable situation confronts, hampers
and annoys the agent who Is trying to
bring about an understanding between
the buyer and the seller A holder Of
such property demands such prices as
are absolutely prohibitiye under the
circumstances. Asked for a reason for
this lofty attitude the owner viii al
most invariably say that he considers
himself justified in his demand for the
reason that his property viii some day
be included In the business zone and
will consequently command a hiCler
price than is brought by res
idence lots, The fact Is overlooked that
It may take 20 years and an increase
to population Of hundreds Of thou
sands to extend these anticipated con-

ditlons to the property In question The
owner Is also prone to forget that a
prospective purchaser is not always In
the market 90 buy prospective busi'
ness property--he makes overunes for
u piece Of land as rule In order TO
make some immediate use OF 1t and Is
consequently on the lookout for some
thing that Is held at real present val
ues. EXasperatlng as this attitude
nearly always is It Is to be found IN
every city Of any consequence in the
United states, There is always a zone
surrounding Che densely covered buM
ness districts that ~ poopied by q
somewhat shiftlesa class and Is covered
with very inferior grade Of shacks.
| The district shows no modern improve
ment ana there Is a general hack OF
advancement within its bounds, Ii Is
only when business boundaries are
forced outward by the oyercrowding
conditions within that modern build
ngs and bueiness methods oncroach
upon this domain; and the natural
pi ocess OF business growth sometimes
involves considerable length Of time
In the achievement Of this desirable end.
IN the interim the owners highly-held
property Is treated from the standpoint
IA which the would-be purchaser views
a. and in consequence the old owner
loes not inaugurate improvements, be-
cause necessity does not require them,
ard the would-be owner Is barred from
the privilege Of doing so,
Now go stll farther out from the
towns business center and one sees
splendid new and modern homes,
grounds neatly kept and a general air
OF growth and prosperity This conil-
ton exists because prices are not held
beyond res sonable reach and the In
PRODUCTION of rapid transit has 80 be-
Titled distances that a residence some
what far removed from town is deemed
more desirable than IN former years
Such visible evidences Of rapid growth
where reasonable opportunity Is allowed
is a shining example to the CLANS In
the real estate business and may prob
ably serve the purpose Of mending
them In their ways
The very encouraging prospect for
congressional appropriation in the in
terest OF arid land reclamation is max
ing itself felt In the real estate market
here. salt Lake will ultimately be one
of the principal benedcarles under the
proposed legislation.

~ close but o more healthy and
N unhcttious state Of affairs IN
this aspect OF Utohs business

" A reliable aud accurate ac-
count Of the money involved In the
years real estate transactions Is well
nigh impossible because Of conditions
which win be readily Been TO represent
the facts. The county recorder keeps
a record Of all dealings but the con-
siderations given therein are we'll
known to be unequal one way or the
other to the real value of the property
involved. Again, al the transfers Of
mining property made IN salt Lake

record, as have the sales and consolid-
ations of street railway SYSTEMS.
Should the necessary information be
sought IN the offices OF the real estate
agents, II viii be found that their rec
ords cover but part Of the transact
lions, and principally those In which
they themselves were personally Inter-
ested. In view of these conditions an
attempt will not be made in this ar
ticle TO state the total figures which
have resulted from real estate sales
during 1901. II is asserted however,
that their aggregate foots up a hand
