EIGHTEENTH WARD
SQUARE FOR SALE

Since The l.. D. S. university acquired
the property known as the Eighteenth
ward square, considerable interest has
been manifested as TO what disposition
viii be made Of the property by the
board. This Is due to the location OF
the land. which renders II one OF the
most valuable pieces In the city. And
because OF the extent Of the property
some have thought that II would be
divided into city lots and sold IN that
manner while another impression pre-
walls that the transfer OF the property
to the l.. d. $. university entails the
building OF a Brigham Young memorial
structure on one OF the corners, but
such is not the case. When seen this
morning Prest. Anthem II. Lund said
that the hope Of the board Is 10 be able
20 sell the entire piece OF property at
cnce, and with that end In view they
have asked for bios on 1t. The board,
however, has not as yet received any
offer that II feels justified In consider

that he intended 10 protect himself
even IL he had to kill Richardson
