An active demand for vacant lots
and residence property has been the
feature Of the local real estate market
during the last week, and. aside from
a few deals in business property, sales
have been largely confined to lots in
the various additions. The additions. IN
the southern and southeastern parts OF
the city have been the center of ac-
tivitY during the last few days. rs the
result of the plans for annexation of
the Sugar House district and the deci-
sion of the city council to extend the
water mains to supply Emerson Heights
and University Heights additions.
Meeks & Mccartney closed a deal
during the last week whereby Napoleon
Genereaux sold the ten-acre tract known
as Knob Hill to Martin A. Morris Can
non for $4,000, This tract Will be
plated into eighty-nine lots Immediate
ly and placed on the market as Uni
versity Heights second addition. Streets
and alleys in tins addition Will be
graded and city water mains construct
ed as soon rs the weather permits. An
active demand for these lots is expected,
In view of the fact that out of the
27O lots in the original University
Heights addition, fewer than eighty
remain unsod.
Extend Water Mains,
Extensions of the city water mains
were ordered by the city council last
week, which removes the last hlndrance
to building operations in this territory.
The council ordered slx-lnch MAN
lcpe property down Seventeenth East
street TO Roosevelt avenue and thence
through Roosevelt avenue in University
Heights TO Fifteenth East street. This
is TO connect with the water mains now
being laid from Thirteenth East street
through Emerson Heights to Fifteenth
East street
These extensions of the water mains
insure n permanent water supply Tor
University Heights. College View and
Emerson Heights additions, and IN the
last few DAYS owners Of score or
moro of lots have signihed their IN
tention OF erecting homes next sprlng.
A consignment OF 10000 Norway ma
pIe trees arrived in Salt Lake last
week and thev will be set out in Emer-
son Heights within the next Few, DAYS.
These tracts have all been plated,
and it is probable that they VIII be
annexed to Salt Lake along with the
Sugar House district at the next regu-
lar meeting of the city council.
Many improvements Planned,
More than 500 1000 Will be spent in
these additions within the next SIX
months. and teams are now engaged IN
