Show The Bonds Were Vo!ed For. The result of the vote on the question of issu-. issu-. ing $600,000 in bonds for needed improvements in r" this city Is most gratifying. It shows that a majority ma-jority of the men and women who pay the taxes of the city want to see the city keep on its upward up-ward way and made ready for the incoming business busi-ness and people. The city should grow moce in the next five years than It has in any ten preceding preced-ing years; the volume of its business should double. This is the natural gathering place of a region which in extent is an empire, and the character of the products of which is sure in the future as it has in the past, to make many men rich. And here is where the great bulk of the fortunate will come. It is going to be difficult for the city to keep up with its own growth, for with oery newcomer more will follow, and every newcomer will be an advertising agent devoted to further progress. It is to be the great railroad center; it is now the great mining and smelting center; it Is tho great mercantile center of all this region. It has, too, the schools, the churches, -the theatres, the 'newspapers, and its manufactures manufac-tures will soon be a most important factor. Of course its natural advantages are unequaled. It should, aside from its business, be a natural sanl- Itarium, with its air, its springs and its lake. More, the tide which has been setting in strongly of late will greatly inciease, and tho vote on the bonds will give a new impetus to men outside this state to turn this way. The Presidential election will be over in a hundred days more, business East and West will resume its natural order; an immense harvest is being gathered; within a few weeks the stock boards will resume their old activity ac-tivity and a fair portion of this progress will come to Salt Lake. The signs of the times were never more filled with hope than right now, and tho business men of this city have more cause for congratulations than they have had since the slowing down last October. |
