Show CITY REALTY. The real estate market is reported as very dull. There is but one cause for it. There should be a boom on right now, but a stranger coming here with a thought of investing, would, upon sitting through one session of the Salt Lake City council conclude that it was a mere Punch and Judy show, that some fakir, behind the curtain, was pulling the strings, and would fold his tent and quietly slip away. That makes it clear that could a genuine American election be held this fall, where every man and woman would vote as he or she thought best, why the very sight of it would advance real estate in this city half a million of dollars in a single day. When the heads of the Mormon church broke the covenents they entered into in order to obtain statehood they robbed their own people of tens of millions of dollars. |
