WILL LAY GAS MAINS
IN NEW SUBDIVISION
Ashton & jenkins Outline Plans For
improvements and Report
Sales.

Considerable activity in the building
OF homes in subdivisions placed on the
market by Ashton & Jenkins is reported
by the firm. This firm is having plans
prepared for the erection of a four-room
modern cottage for William G. Webb
military instructor Of the Salt Lake
high school, on the subdivision recently
city This subdivision, which consists
Of 40 acres, has not been named as yet
Preparations are now being made to
have the gas mains laid in the subdi-
vision, which will be something of an
innovation when the work is completed.
The names of the streets viii be des-
ignated at the intersections, much after
the style used by the city, steel signs
to be used. A quantity Of six-inch wa
ter mains have been ordered for the
tract and will arrive by the time the
subdivision is placed on the market.
The biggest sale made during the
week by the firm was that of 4lKxI65
feet OF ground on Second West street,
between First South and Second South
streets, for Alfred Crebbs to F. E.
Gibbs, for $500. Mr.. Gibbs will erect
a blacksmith shop on the property.
Lots were sold during the week to
George and Mary Coulam, each Of
whom is having plans drawn up for the
erection of modern house to cost about
$500. Edward L. Egil has commenced
the erection for himself of a $500 house
in this subdivision.

OUTSIDERS INTERESTED
Federal Heights Attracts Many In

That outside investors are now be-
.onoinp, interested in Federal Heights
a. shown by the numerous inquiries re-
ce,ved during the past week for descr1p-
ttons of the property and the advan-
faoes Of securing home sites in the ad-
dttion. OF special significance was the
recent during the past week from
Washington, D. c., of q reservation OF
q location in the heights by wire. The
announcement that another increase in
the prices of lots may be made later
in the spring has apparently stimu-
lated the attention of prospective buy
ers and there is an evident intention
Of many who desire homes in the beau
tifnl addition to secure locations there
before there is any further rise In
work on al. the new homes under
course of construction in the heights
is proceeding rapidly. Most noticeable
AZ fbe present time is the change along
perry avenue where the new home Of
q r Iockhart has sprung up almost in
a night and where only a few weeks
ago was a hole In the ground is now
one Of the prettiest bungalows in the
addition, the walls up, the roof on and
nlasterers at work on the interior OF the
building.
The home of Horace Dunbar on Vol
colt avenue, the new building being
completed by Owen II. Gray, and the
new. residence of John Dorius, jr., are
all being pushed as rapidly as possible.
and will be completed by the coming OF
real warm weather and June sunshine.

PALACE SITE CHEAPER
THAN TENEMENT LAND
Ground Where Poor Have Homes
Worth More Than Million
aires DemeSne.

A committee that has just investi-
gated the congestion of population in
New York is forward with the dictum
that poor people have no right to live
on Manhattan island, just where they
are settled Ihiokest.
The great value Of land there is given
as the reason for this striking conclu-
sion. Where the poorest live the land
is worth more than the sites for mill
ionaires' palaces.
By careful computation the commit
tee finds that it is impossible to house
the unskilled working population on
land worth more than $3.50 a square
foot. If a workingman earns only $500
or $500 year, sums on which tens of
thousands support families, his rent in
a tenement built on property worth
more than $3.50 foot is more than he
can afford.
No solution of the problem is Of
fered by the committee. but it is obvi-
GUS that a wholesale removal to some
other less valuable ground is the only
thing that will answer. That, of course
is impracticable. mainly for the reason
that unskilled workingmen must be
near their work They cannot afford
railroad fares, and the differences in
rents would not pay the fares. 1t is
just for this very reason that the con-
gestion exists
And even supposing another place
for the poor were found. real estate
values and rents would soon mount
as high as they do at present. So the
situation appears to have no remedy,
