SUPPLY OF NEW HOMES
KEEPS BUILDERS BUSY
Annual Destruction Leads to Gen
eral Use of Better
Material.

II is estimated that il requires about
300, 900 new houses to supply the nat
ural yearly increase in population in
this country, almost all of these, or at
least a great proportion, having been
built in the past of wood and, therefore,
destructible, and that an average of
$4,000 actually 90 burn down each year,
causing much loss of life and enormous
loss of property. Because of the great
danger from fire people all over the
country are being impelled to adopt
better modes of construction,
Speaking of this subject, the Ameri-
can Architect says: Under these con-
ditions affecting practically the entire
population of civilized countries, ii is
only natural that sooner or later every
device that commends itself either from
an artistic or utilitarian viewpoint,
every mode of construction that offers
advantages should be adapted to use in
the construction OF equipment. of the
modern residence.
Among the latter is found the mod
ern flTeproof house. Only a few years
ago fireproof houses, except in the case
of pretentious dwellings, were practi-
cally Unknown. During the past year,
however entire cOlOuieS OF SelllCul6ulc
have been planned or built up of small
or moderate-sized f1reproof houses.
"A few years hence. a frame dwelling
will doubtless be an exception. OF
course, the desirability Of building q
home. OF all buildings, ffreproOf and
permanent. has long been apparent, but
practical considerations have been op-
posed to such a course. The change
that is taking place seems to be due
quite as much to the development OF the
art of construction as to the general
tendency for better buildings and more
permanent materials The specific de-
velopment in the case under considera-
ton consists largely in the adaptation
of hollow terra Gotta blocks for house
walls, using standard forms for interior
construction. This material, covered
with rough cast or plaster, has been the
important factor In the greater number
Of small firepToof dwellings erected"

STREET CAR LINES
AND CITY GROWTH
Residence Values Governed by
Propinquity to Trans
p0rtation.

That the valuation Of residence prop
erty depends to great extent on street
car transportation facilities is conceded
by real estate dealers and all those con-
versant with the situation. The vari-
Gus extensions made by the Utah Light
& Railway company have resulted in
enhanced realty values IN the districts
traversed by their lines.
When a prospective purchaser goes
to see a real estate dealer with regard
to buying a home, and Is shown the
listing of just the; kind OF house he
wants to buy, about the first question
asked is, How Tar Is il from the street
car Iine?" If it is not within easy
walking distance of a car Line, provid-
ing comparatively rapid service with
the business district, there Is always
considerable hesitancy about investing
money in it.
The extension of the street car sys-
tenn along Ninth avenue has resulted
In wonderful development IN that part
of the city. Scores OF fine homes are
now to be found, where once nothing
but sagebrush grew. The completion
of that line last November gave build
ing a great impetus. Now the north
bench district is assured Of rapid car
service
The Eighth West car line, which was
recently completed, has stirred up a
lively interest among the home build
ing class on the west side. Prior 20
that time the district near the Jordan
river had been neglected, but now peo-
pie who have not a great amount Of
money to invest in homes are going to
that locality in numbers.
At the present time the proposition
to build a car line along Fifteenth East
street. along the east and southeast
benches, is being agttated. The own
ers Of subdivision and addition prop
erty along that street say that the
great amount of transportation that
would come to the street car company as
the result of building this line would
soon prove that it was a paying prOpo-
Eition. Hundreds Of people are waiting
to hear the announcement that this line
will be built. AS soon as the announce
ment is forthcoming hundreds of houses
will be built along the brow of the
bench by people who have purchased
lots there in the expectation that the
street car line would be built.
In other sections of the city the ad-
vent Of the street cars would be hailed
with expressions Of joy. Property in
many places is low in price at the pres
ent time, because there is no adequate
street car ser vice. AS soon as this
property is reached by the lines Of the
street car company there will instantly
be big raise in the value OF the prop
erty

BUILDING PERMITS
RUN LITTLE BEHIND
Record for March Falls Off, But
Prospects Are Very
Good.

With nearly half OF the month gone,
the building record for Salt Lake for
March is less than one-fourth OF the
record for the same month Of 1909, and
IT is felt that this month will run far
behind March OF last year. During the
present Month Building Inspector A.
B. Hirth has issued fifty eight permits,
aggregating expenditures Of S120, 300,
while for the whole of March, 1909, the

BUNGALOW NOT OBSOLETE

The general opinion among Salt
Lake real estate dealers and architects
is that the English square built house
has come to stay. This style Of house,
built on square, simple lines. seems 10
be the predominating type among the
many handsome residences to be found
here.
The architectural taste of people is
as diversified as the taste of a woman
for dresses or for hats. The style OF
building to be erected depends almost
entirely on the within of the person for
whom the structure is to be built. The
architect is employed only to draw
plans for the style of house which has
been decided upon. He may, of course,
have his individual liking, but the
taste of the owner is the final point.
In the square house there are sew
eral styles of architecture that have
been used in giving it an appearance
of originality. Chief among these are
the colonial and the mission. Two IL
Illustrations are given herewith which
show houses that have recently been
completed, where these two styles
have been used to good effect.
One of the pictures is that of the
residence Of c. E. Shermer, the Denver
& Rio Grande engineer, at 23S South
Thirteenth East street, built recently
by the Birrell-Shipp Realty company,
and designed by George s. Walker, a
local architect. This house is the
square English style. but is finished
in the mission style, with two stories
and full basement II was completed
at a cost of about $1,000. and contains
eight rooms. The house Is substan-
TALLY built and affords plenty Of room
for the occupants.
The other picture shown is a per
spective of the house OF z. d. Swan on
Second South street, between Third
and Fourth East streets, recently COM
pleted from plans by c. B. Onderdonk,
architect.
Bungalows Are Popular.
This house is also of the English
square cut style, but is finished in the
colonial style. Like the residence Of
is two stories in height. with base
ment, and cost about $4,000. While
both owners preferred the square
house. there is a difference in the ex-
terror finish which gives TO both an
air of originality.
During the past few years the bun
galow style of architecture has found
much favor with q number Of the
home owners OF the city, said a well
known real estate dealer yesterday
in my opinion. however. this style
will not supplant the English square
built house. The great majority of
houses in Salt Lake are built on the
square plan. There are a number of
advantages to this style Of archi-
lecture. In the first place, more room
is afforded for the amount of ground
space, as the usual method is to build
d house Of this kind two stories high.
Again, it is simpler in construction and
