FALL ADDS IT'S BEAUTIES
TO HOMES ON NORTH BENCH
MAKES MANY ADVANTAGES OF
SECTION MORE PRONOUNCED
Why Bungalows Built in That District
Arc Growing in Popularity,

In these fall days, when the air is
| bright and crisp and clear and lnVlgo
rating. there is an appeal about the
Salt Lake climate that is irresistible,
and nowhere in the city is that appeal
presented as strongly as on the beau
tiful north bench.
With his home there, high above the
smoke of the city. which is, neverthc-
less, literally at his feet, the resident
may enjoy life amid surroundings that
are most pleasant and homelike, with
an outlook that is unsurpassed, and
with invigorating qualities that make
the site of his home ideal.
Home sites on the north bench are
attractive the year round, but cspe-
cialy so iu the fall.
One of the features which js per
haps even more Characteristic of the
north bench than of any other part of
the city, is the number of bungalow
homes there This is partly accounted
for by the fact that in large meas
urc this is Il new residence section,
and the bungalow is comparatively a
new type of residence in Salt Lake
City Bright, new, clean-looking homes
are characteristic of the north bench,
and have inspired the residents there
TO further beautify The section with
pretty, green lawns, beautiful shade
trees and those other evidences of care
and attention which might be termed
the hallmarks' of desirable resi-
dence district
Yet, beautiful as the district is, and
rapidly ms 1t has grown. the land val

property there has never been in the
hands of only few persons, and as
n result it has never been possible for
owners to hold property at prices that
would be justified only by future
growth. The values have gone up
somewhat. but only in proportion to
the actual growth and the amount Of
improvement work, both public and pri-
vate, done on the district.
AS the district is still growing rap
idly-pcrhaps more rapidly than ever
both in population and in popular ia
vor, undoubtedly the values will go
still higher. That, however, is a mat

dents Of that neighborhood. They
have bought their homes to live in,
and not for investment purposes. SO
satisfied are they with them, they say,
that they would continue to live there
and nowhere else in the city, even
should values start on a retrograde
movement,
And when that is the case, there is
nothing surer than that the values will
be we'll maintained, and will continue
to grow.
Many. if not most. of the bungalow
homes in that neighborhood have been
built bv the Salt Lake Security and
Trust company. That company reports
that its sales are steadily growing. al
most irrespective of the condition of
the money market. People must have
homes, and whether money is "easy"

nient TO the business section of the
city, has excellent car service, is within
easy walking distance, and yet is among
the most desirable residence sections
of the city.
