Tests made by p. j, Moran of the
new City Creek high line, which he has
Just completed, show that the piece OF
work is entirely satisfactory and it will
be turned over to the city for official
inspection as soon as arrangements can
be made by the board of public works,

associated with the construction of the
project. Mr.. Moran, who completed
the construction of the high line in
exactly four months. practically one
half Of the time allowed him, tested it
Friday night, and it proved entirely
satisfactory.
The new high line will entirely do
away with the lack OF pressure on the
north bench. which was so manifest for
several years, and especially in the
street and lawn sprinkling seasons.
While the exact time for the official
inspection has not been announced il is

Saturday to prospective buyers that
caused the total sales for the week to

the other hand realty men making Il

snow as 1t means better prospects for

At this time, according to number
of real estate men, there is going on
over the country campaign among
farmers that will cause farming and
