VIEWS ON VALUES.
LOS ANGELES REALTY DEALER
IN SALT LAKE
VALUE OF RESIDENCE SECTION
Movement Of Business Always Toward
the Select Home District, Result
ing In Steady Increase in De-
mand for Property
VALUE OF RESIDENCE SECTION

Julius r. Black Of the real estate
firm of Black Bros, this city, was
among the Los AngeI>s chamber OF
commerce visitors to Salt Lake. He did
not hurry home, lingering in the Nor
mon city to study realty values with a
view to making few Investments.
Mr.. Black was interviewed at some
length by the Salt Lake Herald of June
% on realty conditions in that city. The
interview is embellished with three cir
cular diagrams showing the business
and residence districts.
Select Home District Valuable
Mr.. Blacks conclusions on the value
of select home sections are of special
interest. He said in part:
Business property is the commodity
of chief Importance in the real estate
market. This is due to it's stability as
an income producer, and to it's facile
conversion into coin.
"A careful study of number of de-
veloped cities where normal conditions
prevail discloses the existence of a
probable uniform influence governing
the movements of the retail business
district. The result OF this influence
is best described as follows:
The core of the retail business dis
trict. under normal conditions. is in
constant improvement in the direction
of the select residence district
'In other words, the select residence
district exerts direct pull upon the
retail business district. which tends to
draw the latter to itself. This is due
to the daily stream OF shoppers who
come out Of the select districts with a
greater money-spending power than do
the shoppers out Of the laboring class
districts.
Therefore. IL the above rule be a
sound one, the greatest rise in future
values Of business property will be an
ticipated for that portion of the busi-
ness district lying between it's core
and the select residence district. and
this Is actually a prime condition gov
/yning the purchase OF prospective bus
ness property In many cities"

Attempted Suicide.

About two O'Clock this morning CON
siderable excitement was caused on
Fairfax street, between King and Cam
eron. by an attempt on the part OF q.
Henry Hodges, a saloonkeeper, to com
init suicide by inhaling Illuminating gas,
RE had entered a room, which he had
made as tight as possible, and turned on
the Gas. Fortunately members OF his
household discovered what was going on
and made terrible cutlery, awakening
people throughout the neighborhood. a
pistol was discharged about a square
away by man who desired to attract
attention of the police, but the officers al
the station house had heard the cutlery
and they were soon at tbe honse. Hodge
was taken from the room barely IN time
to save his life. A few months ago he
was critically i'll, so much 50 that ply
.sicians despalred of his life. Hcreylyed,
however, but has not been restored to
health, and it is supposed his rash acI
was superinduced by dependency.
