IMPROVEMENTS
SERIOUS PROBLEM
Bench Land Property to South

Many Ways.
CONVENIENCE is ASSURED
HOME BUILDERS RELIEVED OF
WORRY BY WORK IN PROGRESS.

To the owner OF property in the city
outside of what is commonly called
''close-in" property, the problem of i'm
provements is a serious one. So rapidly
is Salt Lake City growing that even
with clOse-in property the matter OF
improvements is one that often involves
considerable expense and serious con-
sideratiOn.
Cement sidewalks and curbing are
commonly a big item OF expense in this
city, which is trying to keep abreast,
in its improvement work, of its own
growth. They are commonly recognized
as almost Indispensable to modern
property, and, of course, they are neces-
sites if a man wishes TO sell, and to
obtain a price that is in any way COM
mensurate with the value Of the lot.
In Highland Park modern improve
ments are now under way
Already II is possible for the visitor
10 the ground to see where the streets
viii run. In a few months. if he re-
turns. he will ind those streets graded
and curbed and sidewalks on each side
of them.
Contract has been made for the pur-
chase of 1000 shade trees to be placed
along those streets. The company also
has secured competitive designs for
California monuments. four of which
will be placed at each street intersec-
ton.
The Sugar House car line runs to
within a short distance Of the tract. Ne
gotiations with the street car company
are under way looking to the extension
Of this line to Highland Park. Electric
lighting service is also to be installed.
Water for irrigation purposes can al
ready be secured on the tract. and city
water mains will be brought into the
addition IN the very near future.
II is interesting to note that in the
districts designed purely for residence
purposes that have lately been added to
the city, these are problems that m
many instances will not have to be met
by the resident These districts are
largely handled by real estate firms or
companies, which take upon themselves
the work of improving the property
with proper streets and walks, rather
than attempt TO sell it without such
improvements.
This is particularly noticeable on the
southeast bench, ana in that territory
that was last added TO the city il is
almost invariably the case. In High
land Park addition for instance, which
is close to the business district of Sugar
House, and was brought into the city
limits with Sugar House, the owners

As a matter of fact, work has already
been in progress on this form or inn
provenent for some time.
Another feature of Highland Park
which shows that Kimbai & Richards,
the firm which is handling it, has been
paying attention to the demands of the
public is that only a little more than
200 of the approximately 5000 lots in
the addition viii have a frontage to the
north. This for the reason that the
popular taste prefers either freDt Or
a side exposure TO the sunlight and the
south.

The authors have devised a hopper
for use in the dry feeding of poultry
which has been tested at the New
York Cornell station. IL consists of
galvanized iron box, having several
compartments, with hinged cover,
and on the front openings through
which the feed can be reached by the
poultry. A curved false bottom sep.
arates the upper or storage chamber
of the hopper from the trough in the
lower part and Is arranged so that
feed falls in small quantities into the
trough. Our large illustration and the
following quotation from the bulletin
referred to explain the construction OF
this hopper.
The feed hopper which Is used for
feeding dry meals, meat scraps OF
