WILL ASK APPROPRIATION
Real Estate Association Will Ask for
sos, 900 for Alaska Yukon
Exposition.

That the state of Utah should appropri-
ate $4,000 for the Utah exhibit at the
Alaska ukon-Pacific exposition and that
that sum should be requested from the
legislature. and every possible endeavor
employed to secure it, was the decision
reached by the Salt Lake Real Estate
association yesterday.
Nineteen members of the organization
met in the Commercial club at l2:15 yes
terday, with W. J. Halloran presiding
1t was the unanimous sentiment of the
real estate men that the recommended
ton of the Utah commission of the Alas
ka Yukon Pacific exposition should
called for the sum of $4,000, should be
Utah proper representation at the ex
position.
The Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposition
will be held in Seattle during next June
and the real estate dealers believe that
it will be an excellent opportunity 20
advertise and exploit the stake. and es-
pecially to boom Salt Lake. They will
petition the legislature for the amount
named above and will show where it will
be, profitable investment to the tax
payers of the state.
1t was the consensus OF opinion among
the members that the $4,000 should re
literature for distribution. instead of
using il to erect a permanent building
for Utah's display They agreed that
the erection Of a hulldinE would be a
ticaIly useless after the end of the eX-
position.
