NEW BANK FINDS A HOME
The National Copper Bank VIII Open

The National Copper bank will find a
home in the NewhOuse building in lower
Main street. The beautiful banking
room, with a meZzanine gallery, has
been leased from Mr.. Newhouse for the
new institution. The rental at the be-
ginning viii be $500 a month. and the

financial institution. The new quarters
will include not only tbs banking room
and the mezzanine gallery, but the
great basement under the building.
Bids for furniture, fixtures and vault
work will be asked for at once in order
that there may be no delay IN the open

DELAY IN PAYING TAXES
County Treasurer Inconvenience By
Rush at Latest Available
Dates,

Out Of the total assessment OF 50, s5t,-
900 for Salt Lake county, only $4,000
had been received at the closing OF thu
Office OF County Treasurer John A.
GrOesbeck last night. There was quits
a rush of taxpayers during the early
part of the month. but for several days
there has been a lull, and it is expected
that streams Of money will not start
flowing again toward the county Golfers
until late this month, or early in No
vembeT.
Taxes become delinquent after Nov.
Is, and the general rule is for a rush
during the last few days, when hundreds
OF thousands of dollars are poured into
the county treasury, keeping employees
busy until late at night
Il can't understand why people wait
until the last moment" said the county
treasurer yesterday. 1T is just as easy
for them to pay their taxes now and
have it done with. There is nothing 20
gain by waiting until the last week OF
ten days, or until the last day, to make
these payments. The average tax is
only small, and could not benefit the
property owners. In the case Of the big
fellows who pay large sums, Of course
it amounts to something in interest, but
only in about one case in a thousand
They have to pay the taxes anyway, and
the dear public would ObHge me and
the office force greatly by coming in
now and showing the money through the
window"

CLEAR SITE FOR
KEARNS BUILDING
Owner Wants to Tunnel Under
Main Street to Economic
in Heat.

Active work In dismantling and raz-
ing to the ground the old structures
which occupy the site of the new Kearns
business and office building on Main
street, between First and Second South
Streets, is in progress, and now that the
tenants of the various buildings have all
moved, increased vigOr will mark the
movements during the coming week.
The new building will be ten stories
high, the superstruCture will be of steel,
and it will be fireprOof throughout. Con-
tract for the thousands Of tons Of steel
required has been let to a Wisconsin
firm, and by the time the excavation is
completed the steel is expected to be on
the ground.
The new building will extend from the
alley north of the store rooms formerly
occupied by Rowe & Kelly, south to the
Auerbach store property. The J. P.
Gardner company, one Of the firms
which recently vacated the old building,
has already been promised space in the
new structure, and will occupy one Of
the ground floor business stores.
With the idea Of eCOnOmizing in the
heating and lighting Of the new build
ing, it is the intention Of the owner, If
possible, to tunnel under Main street
and furnish from the Tribune steam
plant the power required. A communi-
cation asking for the privilege Of dTiv-
ing the tunnel has been presented to the
city council.

VISITORS BUY REAL ESTATE
Fair and Conference Week Brings in
Purchasers of Salt Lake
Prouerty.

Fair and conference week has been a
good one for the real estate dealers on
the southeast bench, according to A. N.
HUMPHREYS, owner of IdIewild and Sun
nyside additions. The great number of
visitors in the city OccasiOned many in
quiries for all kinds of real estate, and
as the suburban property had been well
advertised in the rural districts, that
line of property was in demand. Mr..
HUMPHREYS reported many sales during
the week to persons who came here to
attend conference or the state fair.
Among this number was 7. w. VIII
liams, electrical engineer at the Sunny
side mines in Carbon county. He pur-
chased four of the choicest lots in Sun
nyside addition, with the intention Of
improving them later with modern cot
tages.
William 7. Altman, who has a small
farm near Little Cottonwood canyon,
bought five lots in IdleWild addition,
which he will hold for investment.
Another sale of Importance was that
of four lots to Timony S. Shell of Gran
ger in Idlewild. Numerous sales of two
and three lot tracts were made. Mr..
HUMPHREYS says that he expects the ac-
tivity to continue on the bench for sew
eral weeks to come.

books of Building Inspector A B. Hlrth.
The largest permit was. for the hotel OF
Albert Fisher on West Temple street 70

0 sSot ooS thus Tar is sag 400, as against
S241,S5O for the whole OF October last year,
or an increase this year of 1864 $50, and
there Is still more than tWO-thfrds OF the

Within the next few weeks It Is certain
that permits for buildings to cost 500, zoe
or more vii lbe issued by Building In
spector Hirth, swelling the total for the
month above the million-dollar mark for
the second time this year. The permit for
the Utah hotel building was for 81. 200. Co.,
in July, and that was the only month
where so large a permit was figured IN.
Within a few days the permit for the
kearns building on Main street will Be
taken out at an estimated cost OF 5000
There were a few things TO be passed upon
by the city council before a permit could
be Issued, Il Is expected they Will be pue
through tomorrow night. This one per-
nit will make the record for the month
only few thousand dollars short OF g.
100000, and several other rather big per-
mtts are TO be asked before the month has
gone by.
For several months Salt Lake has stood
at the head OF all other cities in the
United States IN the percentage OF gain
over the same month Of the previous year,
and this will probably be the case again
this month. as the record will stand at
least geo per cent greater. than for ooto-
Der, 1908.

BUSINESS BLOCK
CHANGES HANDS
W. Mont Ferry Pays $125,000
for Main Street
Property.

The most important real estate deal
of the week was concluded yesterday
through the Halloran-Judge company.
when W. Mont Ferry purchased for the
Ferry estate the Whiting black at 1877
and 139 South Main street, for S125,000. II
is understood that the building was
purchased both as an investment and to
protect the six-story Utah Savings &
Trust company's building from being
shut off from light.
The Whiting block was erected in
1889, and is at present occupied by a
large cafe and a saloon. The frontage
on Main street is very small compared
to the great width in the rear. sThe
building is constructed in L-shape, and
is two stories in height. The building
itself is a small part of the deal. The
ground purchased extends back about
twenty rods.
The Ferry estate. il is understood, is
heavily interested in the Utah Savings
& Trust company; in fact, practically
controls ii. 1t was feared that some one
might purchase the Whiting property
and erect a large building on the ground,
in which event the windows on the
south side Of the Trust company's build
ing would be shut off from the light en-
tirely.

REAL ESTATE BRIEFS.

All bricxlayers have been laid off the
NJ l. a. gymnasium building owing 10
the lack of material for the copper cor
nice. The delay may only be for several
days, although il may extend over pc
TiOd of a week or more.
The forms around the concrete retaining
wall at thc west side and part OF the
south side of the Utah hotel have been
taken down, and a force of men is now
at work excavating for the huge con-
crete footings upon which the west side
of the building will rest. The footings
in the ub-basement are already in.
The jefferson school building, between
Main and West Temple streets, just be-
low Ninth South street, is nearing com
pletion, and when done will be among
the notable examples Of fTeprOOf build
ing in the city The building is con-
structed entirely of concrete reinforced
with steel and rests on solid concrete
foundation.
A force of men has been busily engaged
during the past week in the main office or
the presiding bishopric, putting the
marble wainscoting and thing in place
and finishing the woodwork. About ten
days will be necessaTy to complete this
part of the work.
An exhibit which was departure in
real estate advertising was that of the
Eardley- Ball-CannOn association at the
state fair just closed. 1t comprised q
miniature bungalOw-an almost perfect
representation, inside and outside, of the

the trade mark of the company, I'VE sell

cash prize OF $50.
The Hubbard Investment company re-
ports a lively demand for lots in their
various subdivisions, especially in Airing
ton Heights, between Seventh South
and Twelfth and Thirteenth East
streets, and in Paramount Spring
addition. During the past week the
company has sold twenty-five lots in the
subdivisions mentioned and in Oakley,
Oakley Park and Desky's No. additions.
l. T. Rober of the Hubbard Investment
company left yesterday for a ten days
trip to Idaho points in the interest of
the company. The firm has several agen-
cies in Idaho and is also heavily inter-
ested in Idaho real estate.
