SEND CAR LINE
To SOUTHEAST
Property Owners and Realty
Dealers Delighted With An
nOuncement.
SEE GREAT POSSIBILITY
OF SUBURBAN PROPERTY
Extension to Capitol Hill Sec
tion Also Regarded With
Much Favor.

An official announcement coming
from the offices of the Utah Light q
Railway company of the decision oi
the company TO extend street car hnes s
on the southeast bench has caused
property in that section Of the city to
come into popular favor on the market.
The extension serving on the bench
will be the Ninth South line sent ON
Dasc the new high school site TO t1t-
tccnth East and thence south TO
Twelfth South. The route Of most OF
this extension is on streets IN Doug
las Park, one OF the suburban addl-
tions recently opened and which has
been busy place for the last SIX
weeks.
With the announcement Of the cx-
tension of this line by the street rall-
way company assurance is given that
a large amount Of new property tribu-
tary to the city comes into closer rcia-
tions with the business section of the
city. Southeast bench property Tor
some time past has been Ill strong Ia
vor on account of the unlimited eX-
pansc of territory that some day Will
doubtless be the principal outlet for
the growth of the city. Among realty
men and other business men the sentl-
ment toward sending the city eastward,
southeastward and southward has been
apparent and only the absence of street
ear facilities has kept the territory
from developing much faster,
Bound to Grow.
In realization OF this condition the
street railway company has decided to
send its lines into this section of the
city where development is sure to
follow. Considerable of the street grad,
ing necessary to the laying of the rails
will be done bv owners of the subur-
ban property. In Douglas Park the
work of grading the streets has been
going ON for some time and it is urged
that this part of the proposed exten-
sion grade work Will be completed
soon. With the granting OF franchises
and the completion of the grading, the
work CT LAYING the track and stringing
the wire will begin.
This extension Will include nearly
mile of new equipment, That il will
be completed and ready for service be-
fore the end of the year is certain.
One of the direct. effects the exten.
sion of this line is expected TO have
is the early start on the building OF
the new All Hallows college at Thir
tcenth East and Ninth south as the
college authorities have been waiting
for the development of that section of
the city before beginning actual work.
Good for Capitol Hill
The extension of the lines to Capitol
Hill will be accomplished as soon as
possible. This particular section of the
city, on account of the site for the
new capitol building. will come into
prominence. according to business men
Just as soon as the car line is sent in
that direction The proposed route Of
the extension will be on State street
past the capitol grounds and thence
northwest several blocks A branch
line may cross the canyon and tap the
north bench property east of the
canyon.
Activity or the part of the Utah
Light & Railway company in extend
ing its lines has caused a genuine
feeling of confidence in the sections
OF the city to be given the service
Business men generally say the devel-
opment of the city should follow the
car line service rather than the scrv-
lee following the development.
