REAL ESTATE DEAL
AFFECTED BY SEASON
Important Transfers Pending,
However, and Many In
quiries Made.

Owing to the disagreeable weather
and the fact that everyone is busy dur
ing the holidays there has been little
business in the real estate world. Dit
fcrent real estate companies report that
the outlook was never as good, as the
number of inquiries for properties were
very large Yesterday. The Capitol In
vcstment company reports the largest
number of inquiries since the first OF
December and is of the opinion that
there will be large sales of important
properties Little & Little report the
market as the strongest IN several
weeks, and have a number Of deals
pending. Others are not so optimistic
and state that the owners are asking
too much for their property.
General report. however, leads one to
believe that the market the past few
days has been the dullest in the sea
SON but the next few days will see
IL stronger than ever. The Anderson
Real Estate company has number OF
deals pending, one of which will be
closed today.
Kelsey & Gillespie closed the deal
whereby Matt Browning and others of
Ogden became the owners of the two
lots situated between Second and Third
South and running between Second and
Third West They Join end to end, have
fronts on each street and are los by
$50 feet in size The lots are Nos
5 and 8. block 6l. plat A Of the Salt
Lake City survey The consideration
was $4,000. w. H. Dickson was the
seller
The consensus of opinion among the
real estate men is that Salt Lake City
is on the eve Of one of the most pros
porous periods OF its history, and many
people will become property holders be
fore tho close Of the present month.

PLACE FOR COUNTY OFFICES
Attorney General Breeden Delivers
Opinion on the Question.

It's lip to county officials now to
huddle together in their own county
seat, for Acknowledgement Breeden
Wednesday delivered his official opin-
ion on the subject in response to
query from the County Attorney at
Coalville, Utah. relative to the ques-
tion of maintaining county Offices at
any place but the county seat. The
opinion is given in reply to not only
one but several inquiries that have re-
Gently been made on the same subject
of Mr.. Breeden and affects all county
officers in counties having a population
of more than 5000 people.
Mr.. Breeder, in replying. calls atten-
tion to Section 54S, Revised Statutes
of 1898, which, in so far as pertinent
10 the present inquiry, reads as fol
lows:
The clerks. recorders and treasurers
OF all counties. and excepting In coun-
ties having a population of less than
5000 all other county officers must have
their offices at the county seats"
The requirements of this section are
so plain that there ought not 10 be any
misunderstanding by any county official
OF his duties In this respect. Practically
all OF the counties In the State have
provided county buildings at the county
seats. at the county's expense, for the
accommodation OF the various county of
tlcers. and when they are elected and
qualified the statute directs that all
county officers Of counties having more
than 5000 population shall maintain their
offices at the place provided for them
by the county at the county seat. and
such Offices being maintained elsewhere
Is without authority OF law and any
rents or expenses paid out of the county
funds for the maintenance of such Of
fees are void. And by section sos, Re-
vised Statutes, the County Attorney is
authorized and directed to institute suit
against the County Commissioners and
hot
thus Illegally paid out II must be under
stood that the main office must be kept
and maintained at the county seat for
the accommodation and convenience OF
all the people OF the county having busi-
ness with such office. There would be
no legal objection II the County ComInls-
sioners deemed IL advisable 10 authorize
a county officer to have a deputy a.
some locality other than the county seat.
TO be maintained without expense TO the
taXpayers OF the county.

POSITION FOR YOUNG MEN
Further Civil Service Examinations
Held in Zion During Month.

IL there are any clerks in Salt Lake
who would like a trip to, and position
at Washington, D. c., they had better
begin brushing up their modern lam
guage lore. fer Uncle Sam wants =
male clerk at the Smithsonian insti-
tuition in his capital. for whose services
he will pay $50 year. The cXamina~
tions will be held January 80, and a
knowledge of French and German is es-
sentlal. He also wants q computcr for
the United States naval observatory,
and for this position any young man
over 20 may take the examination,
preference to be given applicants under
80 years of age. The salary rms from
$500 to $1,000 year, with the cxamina-
tIons to be held at the Federal build
ing, January 20 and 80.
II these examinations are not taken
by any more applicants than have put
in an appearance for the recent posi-
tions offered by the Government TO
young men and women, the examiners
will have very little trouble going over
the papers of Salt Lake applicants
The position of clerk at the smith
sonian, aside from the salary, would
be an envlable one for young man, as
it enables him TO gain a working knowl-
edge OF many scientific and educational
matters and admits of promotion TO
several rather desirable positions.

UNIVERSITY OF UTAH
Appropriation of ss77,554 Needed for
Maintenance Next Two Years.

The University of Utah. in its hien-
NAL report fled with Governor Cutler
yesterday, asks for an appropriation of
s377 654 for the maintenance OF the in
stltution for the next two years and for
additional buildings.
The report urges that a main build
ing" to cost $3.50. 900 be erected OF
this sum it is proposed TO raise S50.0o0
by direct appropriation. The report en-
phasizes strongly the need OF more room
at the university, 1t 10 stated that bio
graphical, geological philosophical and
art and music departments must have
more space.
The report also asks for an increase In
the salaries OF the teaching force OF the
university. The institution. 1t Is claimed,
has lost and will continue TO lose the
services of valuable members OF Its fac
ultes, who are amle to command good
salaries elsewhere, unless salaries are
Increased. The report advises the crea-
tion Of department OF pharmacy, and
commends the work OF the medical
school, which has been a success.
The regents strongly advocate that the
university be supported as In other
States. by a fixed taxation. thus doing
away with the dependency OF the lnsti
tuition upon the appropriations made by
the Legislature.
