Show THE RESULTS OF BOOING there is no use of denying the fact that a real estate boom unattended with material advancement is a detriment to a community prices may bo run up by judicious management and artful advertising if the people unite for that purpose but they will noi long remain steady unless something substantial is undertaken to warrant the rise the mere speculation in dirt by boomers as they are commonly callad never proves a gain to a city what does it help property that A buys of B a certain lot for and next day sells it to C for 2000 when C may again sell it without improvement to individual who holds it as goods on the market without putting it to the use that it should be assigned such a game may bo pursued for a time under the of speculation but a relax is bound to come and then matters are left in a much worse state than before the gambling scheme was undertaken all such rash dealing tends to stun the prosperity of a city and there are always moro men who booso by it than there are who gaia los an gelee as well as other rich regions of the west fell sadly a proy to the intrigues and schemes of boomers and should serve as a warning to other cities of how they lend themselves to the wild plans of speculative fancy so far as getting a narae abroad which is the great arguments held in favor of a boom on paper there is no advantage in this unless the name is well merited if people visit a city only to be disappointed it resounds redounds red to the discredit of that community and a paper boom almost invariably paints the truth in such glowing colors that it appears much like a falsehood when tho actual scenes are viewed the shall put itself in the way and fight all speculative booming that does not tend to progress as provo has had enough of that already prices have been ballooned higher in this city than what solid improvements have warranted aud the result is that wo are now experiencing a lull in business that is disheartening to many tho high prices of real estate that have been run up by a clique of boomers have also deterred many strangers from locating in our midst who aio just such citizens as wo aro seeking now wo do not binh it understood that this paper is not layering the advance of real estate we do favor it most heartily but we want it to advance naturally and not to be raised beyond all reason by a clique of disinterested real estate boomers |
