DIGEST OF WEEKS NEWS
REALTY MEN LOOK FORWARD TO
"GET ACQUAINTED" WEEK.

Business conditions about town the
past week have been but normal. in
spite of a period of unexcelled good
weather. Summer goods are going well
at the stores, building operations have
been resumed and other trades have
experienced a fair week.
The change that is developing in the
building field here is probably the fea-
ture of the month. Every class of
building material has been so high that
operations have experienced a serious
setback. Prices are loosening up to a
considerable extent Lumber has
dropped from 81 to 81 a thousand. and
while this decrease has not made any
great change in the amount of lumber
handled here, it is taken by the dealers
as Indicative of what must surely come.
Brick is being put on the market more
freely than at any time in the past
three months, and dealers stated yes
teTday that in another two weeks the
shortage would be caught up and con-
sumeTs given all the brick they need
Architects and contractors look for the
price of both lumber and brick to go
still lower this summer, as they have
been abnormally high, and If extensive
building operations are to continue
here a change must be made.

Wholesalers and Jobbers.

The jobbers and manufacturers are in
-EOod shape for a big fall business, and
yfrOm all indications they are going to
break ali previous records for the vol
ume of trade handled during the next
few months.
Wholesalers who have returned from
the east in the past week declare that
one of the principal troubles with the
eastern mills i'll the dry goods line at
present is lack of labor. Mills are run
ming half time in many places where
they should be running double time
and this has complicated the situation.
Cotton is getting more and more scarce
and it is probable that prices of all
cotton goods will go soaring again this
fail. other dry goods are in good con-
dition as to stocks, and if there is no
freight tie-up this fall the situation
here should be a little better than last
winter.
Prices are high all along the line, and
eastern men are holding out little hope
of their being lowered. Labor is cost
ing too much all over the country, say
the manufacturers.

BIG LOSS TO CITY

After releasing S. Birch and j. P.
Kennedy from extensive sewer and
sidewalk contracts three months ago
and raising the cry that this was neces-
sary because the Legislature passed a
law inimical to the council and the
board of works has finally come to the
conclusion that the howl was ill-timed
and are now preparing to let new con-
tracts for this same work under the old
contract forms and without regard for
the new law.
p Incidentally. because no bidders have
appeared on the scene who are willing
to tackle work for the city when the
financial condition of the municipality
is known to be precarious. to put it
mildly. the board of public works has
again extended the time for receiving
bids from July to July is. 1t was
first decided to open bids June 81, then,
because of a scarcity of bidders. July
; was set as the date, and now IL has
been postponed two weeks longer. This
work includes two uncOmpleted side
walk extensions, Nos. SO and 121, and
two large sewer extensions, Nos, 179.

Much Ado About Nothing.

The sidewalk extensions are part OF
the uncompleted work of the Utah
F'ireproofnG company, which was re-
leased from it's contract by the re
formers" This work was advertised
| for early in April and Birch secured the
contract The sewer extensions were
also advertised for at that time, and
Kennedy drew the prize. Then it was
suddenly discovered that the new inn
provement law passed by the last leg
islature made ii obligatory for the city
TO finish the work before assessments
be made against property owners and
that it contained a number of other
much discussed provisions
While everybody was making as
much ado as possible about this, the
| contractors were released. Finally,
after the hodge pOdge was somewhat
cleared up. 1t was decided to again adj
vertise for bids for this work. Then
| the question of the form of contract to
/ be used came up. and the city attorney
submitted form based on the new law
for the consideration of the council last
Monday evening
Since then it has been ascertained
| that the old form contract is all right
and that bids can still be accepted un-
| der it If it is thought advisable The
new law, it might be explained, pro-
vides for the construction of public
MOTh WIN SiAO
| ment for bids and ending with the col
! lection of the assessment. Now all
| the bids for this work were advertised
for before the law went into effect, and
| all the assessments made and the
query which is before the council is
how can the city do half the work I'M
der the old law and half under the
new. The city attorney has finally seen
the light also and has practically decid-
| ed that as the bids were advertised for
and the assessments made before the
new law went into effect that 1t would
have no bearing on these contracts.
No Faith In Administration Promises
If this had been known three months
ago, and II, instead of cutting its kite
| strings the council had stayed on
| earth lust for moment, the city and
| taxpayers could have been saved a
| considerable sum, as the bids received
at that time were probably 90 per cent
lower than any new bids that will be
| received This is due to the fact that
| contractors are afraid of doing work
| for Salt Lake under the present de-
pIeted condition of the treasury. A
! 81 600 deficit in the general funds does
| not look good to the average business
man or contractor and does not i'm
press him with the stability of the ad-
ministration or it's ability to pay its
debts.

Real Estate Day.

In spite of the fact that every real
estate man in town practically is bus
lily engaged on some committee prepar-
ing for the celebration of Real Estate
day at Saltair during July, several
good transfers have ebeen made dur
ing the week. The list is headed by the
sale of the big hotel site on West Third
South street, opposite that of the pro-
posed Hartman depot. by the Western
Investment & Trust company TO F. c.
Avery, a Colorado investor, for $34,500
This represents a front foot value of
$500 and is indicative of what values on
the west side are doing at present.
All the dealers have been active
mostly on residence properties. The
week has been better than the past
three weeks. Every energy is being
spent to make the celebration for July
II a bowling success. A big string of
prizes has been secured and others are
being added daily. Every merchant in
town is contributing, and some valu-
able gifts Will be given away. In all
probability three or four excursions will
be run into town on that day, and local
merchants are offering their out-of
town customers discounts on trade han
died that week. A ''Utah-made Goods"
day for July 10 will be another feature
of the Get Acquainted" week.
Banks and Retailers.
Wool money is still coming I'm slowly,
though in other ways the banking sit
uation here is unchanged. This is an
extremely quiet time of year for the
bankers. Clearings are keeping up
wonderfully well and give the situation
healthy tone. Work on the new quar-
ters for the Commercial National, in
the Commercial building, is being
rushed. and the bank will be located in
its new home probably within sixty
days.
The retailers, from the implement
dealers to the shoe men, have Jared
we'll the past week. The volume of
trade has been a little above the aver
age. and people are buying freely of
summer stuffs
Prices continue strong along all lines
of merchandise. The shoe men are ex-
pecting a slight raise this fall Ship
ments are coming through freely now
and stocks are well up at all the local
stores.
