Dawn of the Era
OF Salt Lake
City Greatness.

and stimulated the demand for pleas
ure vehicles drawn by horses, so the
fat dwelling has stimulated the de-
mand for beautiful segregated homes,
without in any degree lessening its own
clientele. In other words, anomalous as
1t may seem, the new devices to ac-
commodate the lovers OF fashion and
social life have also increased the
number of lovers for the more conyen-
tional types Of living The fat is not
driving out the individual home any
more than the automobile is driving out
the handsome trap and run-about.
With the installation OF the new car
service In Salt Lake. the suburban
cottage Is also bound TO come into
greater favor. The desire for a taste
OF country life, the need Of moderate
priced homes, and The cry for air and
sunshine from the city dweler is an
swered by the country home where
street car service is good and reliable.
To the southeast Of the city there Is a
section which the new car service is
sure TO make a beautiful region OF
moderate priced cottages The same
thing will be accomplished I'm the d.

service extends cheap fares and rapid
improved car service.
THE NORTH BENCH.
Already the north bench Is moving
its limits Of neat dwellings higher and
higher, so that the boulevard" which
has seemed like distant highway Is
shrinking close to the homes. A car
line on Ninth or Eleventh street would
transform the north bench entirely,
for It is above the line OF dust and

agement OF the street car system ex-
tends up Main or State streets, the
aristocratic section OF the city is bound
to congregate around the capitol site,
as II has In every other state OF the
Union. But 1t is futile to attempt to
point out lines of present or future
growth IN Salt Lake. since all alike
are partaking Of the advance. In
business there Is tendency to scat
ter as never before, and Main street
will not be the exclusive business street
IL was FOR so many years. Every cross
street, from South Temple to Fourth
South, is now catching business; and
State street on the east and West
Temple on the west now share a big
slice OF commercial life.
REALTY ASSOCIATION.
II would be decidedly improper to
conclude resume OF the real estate
market and the history OF the year
without reference To the Salt Lake
Real Estate association. This body
OF hustlers has done as much unselfish
aud public spirited work as any or
gani2ation in the city. It's influence Ia
felt not only In business, but in the
governing force OF the city 1t Is rec
0gnized that the association has be-
come an important factor OF public
opinion. Attempts TO make tool OF
the association In the interest OF POI
litical parties have failed. and while
few individuals have. Gompers-like,
tried to enter the body into the polite
al arena, the conservative and con-
trolling force has refused TO permit It
to be used for any such purposes.
The Real Estate association like the
Commercial club, IS working for Salt
Lake and not for politicians II has
been the promoter OF better streets,
sidewalk and street paving, extended
sewer districts, better sanitation and
street car projects have received its un-
divided support and the new gas COM
pony was endorsed and assisted IN en-
tering the salt Lake field In short,
the association believes that anything
which contributes 10 better public utlli-
ties here makes Salt Lake real estate
more valuable.
The best indication Of the real es-
tate market at the present day is the
hOurlshing condition Of the Real Estate
association. which has increased In
membership and efficiency during tho
past year, Real Estate day" the out.
