Good Roads Movement

Salt Lakers are awake to a realiza-
tlon Of the fact that good roads lead
ing to a metropolis are one OF the prin
cipal factors in its growth, and as n
consequence the work of the Good
Roads commission in the move to secure
better highways has met with hearty
cooperation. In Salt Lake county alone
will be expended for the Improvement
OF roads about $4,000 for the year
1911 and the work done the preceding
twelve months ran a close second.
But the good roads movement is now
taking wider and more significant
scope, well defined plans now being un.

Of boulevard between the cities of
Salt Lake and Ogden. 1t is estimated
that owing TO naturally favorable con

out the benefits TO both cities are not
TO be lightly estimated. The boulevard,
skirting the base of the mountain, over
looking the many villages, the thousand
fertile farms and the great Salt lake
would prove an ideal driving place for
every local autoist and for thousands
who annually spend few weeks in the
city.
The project to construct boulevard
from the city proper to Fort Douglas
is also taking definite shape.

Millions in Ho.els

1t has for years been recognized that
Salt Lake City, while possessing hotel
accommodate adequate and saticfac-
tory under normal everyday condi-
tions, has often been confronted with
a situation of difficulty in caring for
tie crowds that at stated intervals and
in the event of large conventions throng
the city. On numerous occasions the
hosDltable citizens have thrown open
their homes in order that every visitor
might be properly cared for. And there
has never been complaint on the part
of guests who took pains to make their
wants known.
But during the last two years, keep
ing pace with the remarkable growth
of Salt Lake, has come the realization
Of the need for more hotels in the

and is being met In a manner that

is up, and it is planned to complete
and furnish the building during the
