controlled by A. n. Humphrics, tract
ono half mile wide and mile long,
situated between Twelfth South and
Thirteenth South, owned by Kimbsll
and Richards; Union Heights, Sugar
House. Forest Dale and some other
smaller tracts
The move has been under considers-
ton FOR some time by number of real
estate owners and belongs to the gen
eral scheme being carried out in tho
southern portion of the city for the
building up Of Il greater Salt Lake. 1t
has been suggested that the city place
new southern limit TO the corporation
and take in everything lying north Of
Twelfth South. 1t has been pointed ont
by the porperty owners, Just south of
that street, that a number OF new adj
dltlons have been recently opened az
far south rs Thirteenth South and that
there is no reason why this properfv
should not be taken into the city, az

New Land Valuable.
Much Of the new land is valuable
and the additional expense incurred by
the city in caring for the new property
will be more than offset. ii ls said, by
the return from taxes from the new
additions Most of the new locations
are supplied with water and ii will
not be necessary 10 extend water mains
through the territory for some time.
One of the most important portions
OF the tract which will apply for ad-
mission to the city is the new Highland
Park addition. owned by Kimhsll and
Richards, This tract is situated Just
east of the county road. or what would
be Eleventh South, and extends east
ward distance Of mile. Plans are
now under way for improving this prop.
orty extensively. II is stated that over
100000 will be expended on improve
ments on this addition alone in the
year, New houses will be erected,
streets laid out, sidewalks constructed,
trees planted and the entire tract made
into n beautiful residence park. It is
intended to make the improvements of
the type new being carried out moro
than ever IN additions OF the city and
special features of Identification will
be provided in the property.
Other Tracts Coming
The movement, which has already
progressed 10 a point near consumma-
ton, calls attention to the interest
which has been aroused in the south
eastern section of the city. For many
months purchases of property have been
made in that section and In several
instances, namely. IN the case OF Idle
wild, Union Heights and Laurelhurst,
hundreds of building lots have been
sold to small investors. Other owners
have held back from placing their hold
iugs on the market, with the result
that there is now a tremendous tract
ready for exploitation
With the additions nearer the car
line clamoring for admission and with
the, building lots of many of these prac~
ticallv sold out, it seems evident that
the movement for development of the
southeast bench will shortly include
all the available property south of Fort
Douglas TO tho farthest limits Of the
bench ard covering the entire territory
from Thirteenth East TO the mountains.
