WATERLOO PRETTY
PART OF THE CITY
Recently Annexed Suburb One
of the Most Attractive
of All.
SUGAR HOUSE WANTS IN

One hundred acres OF land, having a
valuation of approximately 5000, 900, and
upon which have been builded homes
for about 200 people-tnis is what is
represented in the strip Of land in Wa
terlOO district which has recently been
annexed to Salt Lake.
All of that territory between Tempest
avenue, or Eleventh South street, and
Twelfth South street from north to
south, and from Third East to Fifth
East streets, from east to west is now
a part Of Salt Lake, following the ac-
ton Of the city council and the approval
of Mayor John S. BransfOTd.
The territory is considered one of the
choicest bits of territory added to Salt
Lake in recent years. 1t was about
four years ago when another strip,
about the same size, was taken into the
city, and an effort is now being made
by residents of the south end of Sugar
House ward to also come into the city.
When this comes before the council in
the shape of a petition, il will be added
20 the city and will make the southern
limit Of the city at Twelfth South street.
from Third East TO Thirteenth East
streets.
The strip Of Waterloo territory an
neXed 10 the city has been a part Of
~, and the children of school age have
been attending school in Forest Dale,
as a general rule. In all probability,
the children viii continue to attend
school there until after the summer va
cation of 1910, when the city board Of
education viii have TO provide a new
school for the children within the city
limits.
School Facilities Needed.
When an adjoining section Of Water
loo was taken from the Granite district
and added To the city four years ago,
the school at Third East and Kensing-
ton avenue, now known as the Water
loo school, was purchased from the
county by the city. 1t is located at 1850
South Third East street
This school is crowded to overflow
ing, and no room can be made for the
200 or 800 children in the newly annexed
district 1t may be that the board OF
education will bUI'd an addition TO the
present Waterloo school for the accom-
mediation of these children, instead Of
building a new school. This matter
however viii not be settled until taken
before the board at a future meeting.
As q provision q the law allows the
city to have school children attend
county schools by paying tuition to the
school district where the children are
sent. it may be that this arrangement
will be made between the city and cOun-
~ until arrangements are made for the
handling of the children who are now in
the city. This will probably date from
the time the district was annexed to the
city. and viii continue until next June,
at least.
There are a few Of the children out
side the city limits who are now at
tending school within the city, and in
each instance a charge Is made for tut
ton. This viii be more general than
at the present time, when the Jefferson
school Is completed. This school is on
West Temple street, between Ninth and
Tenth South streets. and many of the
children from just out Of the city limits
will likely attend on an arrangement
made with the city board of education.
The annexation of the Sugar House
district viii be Of even more importance
TO the city than the strip in Waterloo
which has just been taken in. This
strip viii run from Sixth East to Thfr-
tenth East streets, and from the pres
ent city limits south 70 Twelfth
South street The limits now are be-
tween Eleventh South and Twelfth
South streets. Both the Sugar House
and Waterloo districts are building up
fast, and within few years there will
be little vacant territory in the limits
TO De taken in. To the north and west
the city limits stretch far out and take
In thousands Of acres of territory upOn
which scarcely a house can be found.
But to the south and east there is COM
paTatively little ground which has not
been built up.
