totals are made up at atthe atthe the close of 18 1595 What they do as assert assert sert is that the season n has opened bet better better ter titan than any other and that the out outlook outlook look is better at this time than it was wasat wasat at the corresponding time in any recent year ear earThe The rea reason on these statements will sur surprise surprise prise most pomona persons Is that much less building OIl on large undertakings is go going going ing forward now than has been the case in several erl recent years It is true I that work Is stilt still going forward on the federal building on the Catholic ca cathedral cathedral thedral on the First Presbyterian Church on the Exposition building at atthe the State Fair grounds and on the Packard library building but all

on by a number of wealthy eastern capitalists This sanitarium has been the dream of more than one farseeing man In the recent past Even von now many agree that nothing would do more for Salt Lake than the uti utilization utilization of the hot warm and cold min mineraI mm eral springs and the salt water of the lake In a sanitarIum and health re resort resort sort similar to the one conducted eted so O successfully for so many years ears at t Hot SprIngs Ark Systematic work Is be being being ing done no now on this proposition but all names and aU all definite plans are withheld from the public City of Many Homes But outside of aU all these speculative enterprises contractors base all their calculations for a successful season on the number of oC homes In course of con construction or planned for the immedi immediate ate te future The number and total cost coat of these will make an astonishing show showing showIng ing at the close of the year ear Among the houses bouses going up there are not man many that would be considered tine fine but there are many substantial brick and ston stone structures many individual homes and man many terraces erected for rent Xo No part of oC
