BUILDING Of HOMES
HOLDS FIRST PLACE
No Abatement in Construction
of New Dwellings on
Beautiful Sites.
BRISK SALES REPORTED
Dealers in Lots in Subdivisions
Find Many Reasons for
encouragement.
BRISK SALES REPORTED

Another SIX days Of home-making
writes the record of real estate inter
est in Salt Lake. Residential property
continues to hold first place in the mar.
ket, and the southeast, east and north
east benches are still in the lead.
Dealers who have subdivisions on the
benches report that there is no break
in the continuous line Of deals, closed
or pending. Lots in the subdivisions
find an increasing demand, and the
construction of homes progresses at a
mary rate. Already some Of the deal
ers who have met with extraordinary
success in selling their first plats are ar
ranging to improve sites adjacent to the
subdivisions which have had such ready
sale.
There is reported also brisk inquiry
for ta1ready built" homes. A large
number Of dwellings in Salt Lake have
been put in the "for sale'' column by
reason Of the fact that their owners
have built new homes On the benches.
The houses in the city for the most part
are modern in every essential respect,
although they may not be of the very
latest design and convenience. They
are good, substantial homes, however,
and are well worth looking into. Some
Of them are, according to dealers, Of
fered at prices regarded as rare bar
gains.
Improvement work in the bench sub
divisions has made strides during the
week. In many streets, sidewalks have
been completed and in others they have
begun. The hundreds Of shade trees,
set out in the earlier spring, are report
ed to be in satisfactory state of prog
ress, and wherever a dead tree occurs
1T Is immediately replaced. Within q
few years, the many scores Of new and
beautiful homes on the benches will
have delightful setting among groves
Of splendid trees.
The wisdom becomes more apparent
each day of the provision for ample
space for parks. 1t is the experience
Of dealers that almost every intending
purchaser makes careful Investigation
regarding parks and Fairgrounds. The
item Of boulevards also is taken into
account by buyers.
Apartment house property continues
to hold prominent place in realty in
terest. Apartment house projects are
numerous, and many buildings are al
ready in advanced stages Of construc-
ton. Present indications are TINT there

INCREASE IN CLEARINGS

Salt Lake bankers report for the
week. steady demand for money to
complete projects. For the most part
the larger financial arrangements for
the big enterprises, irrigation and 9TH
erwise, were arranged earlier In the
year, but there is still needed supplies
of money to bring the work to compile
tion. To meet this demand the local
bankers report an ample supply.
Not only is money needed for the
carrying on Of work already begun,
but also there is good demand for
funds to finance new enterprises. Many
homebuilders are borrowing to complete
their homes, but by far the greater part
Of the homebuilders are pretty well
equipped financially before they begin
building.
The bank clearings for the week
show an increase Of $25,22s.67 over
g; corresponding period Of 1911. For
the month of juno the increase in clear
ings was S4,726, ,007.4O.

ness Of the clearing house association
for the week and the total for the
