however, that in a few years at the
most, these people viii be in better
condition than they have ever been, be-
cause of their investments.
There has been a tendency, however,
among some business men to initiate
values of property and TO attempt to
borrow on these fictitious values. A
man may build a house which costs
$500, and will then place a price OF
$500 on the property and attempt to
borrow on this value. IF he comes to
any legitimate broker, he viii be COM
PEELED to accept loan at the real valne
of the property. This has been at
tempted many times.
Present Conditions Good.
In such cases, however, no one SUI
fers except the people who grant such
loans, and il is probably the ones who
failed to obtain loans at the inflated
values who have been dissatisfied with
conditions here. This is likely to hap.
pen at any time, however, and the
banks and trust companies which re-
fuse loans of that sort are doing the
right thing.
''The future looks bright. Within
thirty days, or on the opening of the
Salt Lake Route and the Western Pa
cific railroad, there should be a rush
of capital here. We have been living
within ourselves for many years. The
money borrowed has been Salt Lake
money. Interest paid has been given
back to Salt Lake business men, Very
little money has been sent out Of the
city, or, at most, the state. 1t Is known
that many business concerns which in

deferred from doing so by the fact that
they could not ship goods into the city
over the Salt Lake Route. When this

The above statement, given out by
". J. Halloran, president OF the Hal
lOran-Judge Loan & Trust company, is
taken to indicate that there is no fear
among the substantial business men of
the community of a slump of any kind
here, or that what has been regarded
as a lun in business activity here in
many lines is any more than temporary.
1T is true" said Mr.. Halloran, that
there has been a tremendous amount
Of money placed in building enterprises
during the past year. The sum total
Of bank clearings for 1893 exceeded
that of the preceding year by more than
30 l-3 per cent. The amount of build
ng permits taken out last year ex-
ceeded 5000 600. a tremendous advance
over the total for the year 1908. This
means that business undertakings have
been heavy and that large sums have
