What will be the effect of the open
ing of the newly electrified Bamber-
ger road between this city and Ogden
is q matter which is being discussed
at great length by realty men. Up to
the present time the opening Of new
additions has been Influenced a good
deal by the likelihood of there being
car line built past the tract or close
enough to provide fairly easy access
in the near future.
With the establishing of adequate
transit facilities to the country north
Of Salt Lake it is suggested that there
may be a strong movement for the
opening up of new additions along the
high ground north Of the city. For
some time there has been a strong
movement towards the north, and a
number of handsome summer homes
have been located along the foothills
overlooking the Great Salt lake and
the valley farm lands around Farm
ington, BountifuI and other places be-
tween here and Ogden.
The ground there is as attractive in
many ways as that on the east bench,
and the great reason why more atten-
ton has not been paid to the locality
New additions have been opened all
along the east bench, extending from
Thirteenth East street to the foot of
the Wasatch range on the east Many
Of these can be reached only by extern
sions of the street car system The
construction of the LIE Grande Young
railroad south of Hollywood has been
commented on as a means of opening
some of the tracts ~farthest away from
the city and additional tracts along
the route of the railroad.
VIII Develop suburbs.
The new Bamberger system, realty
men say, seems destined to bring
about a great change in the move
ment towards the east bench. Much
Of the property available for resi-
dence purposes along the line of this
road is no farther away than some Of
the east bench property. The coun-
try IS more highly developed In many
instances than the property east Of
the city. The farms of Davis county
have become justly celebrated for
their fertility, and many home seek
ers have been kept from locating in
that locality only because they did not
want TO be so far away from the city

dealers are looking up the possibilities
Of developing in a larger degree the
resources of the section along the new
railroad.
