I'VE have a start--a good start, to-
ward getting this sum of money. Mr..
Newhouse, always in the fore front of
progress. always generous, when the
public is concerned-always willing and
ready not only to do his part, but to

that subscription about this city-let
us ask the rich men to size up with MI.

our property owners. II we do this.

outpouring of generous contributions.
as will give Salt Lake a place in his

munity to do this. Let us do 1t; let
us do 1t for the greater glory Of Salt
Lake and our association.

men. We must communicate our OPP
timism to all the people of Salt Lake,
then we will have a city here that will
be hummer.
