Judge Lynch reported an encouraging encourag-ing condition of the treasury. , Mr. Whlthoad moved the appointment appoint-ment of a standing committee on transportation trans-portation to be announced at tho next meeting. state of the Market. The Timks man took advantage of a few minutes' recess in tho meeting this morning to obtain a few expressions from among the assembled Napoleons of real estate 'regarding the present state of the market and its probable turn when spring fairly opens up. Col. Lett, oresiilent of the real pslolo exchange and an eastern real estate man said that he had witnessed the rapid, the unprecedented growth of such others as Omaha, Kansas City and Denver. But he believed the signs were far more propitious for Salt Lake than ever for these cities. Here not only in Utah, but t lie entire vast inter-mountain region must be centred. The most enterprising men of the west have recognized this, aud today they are remembered among Salt Lake's citizens They would inevitably succeed suc-ceed in making it a metropolis even if it lacked its magnificent natural advantages. advan-tages. This season would, in his opinion, opin-ion, witness the Second Trenieildtlntts Stride in the city's growth- His own business j already feels tho quickening influence I of the approaching season, and he had ; no doubt that other real estate men j could tell the same story. He is of the ! opinion that no other point in the i country is so universally regarded as the Mecca of tint investor in the east Manager Neff of the Salt Lake Abstract Ab-stract and Title company, is not deal ing in real estate, but his business is directly connected with that of The Heal Fatal Hustler. Business is moving more rapidly than at this season last year and getting better bet-ter every day. Ho has unbounded faith in Salt Lake's future and declares no niau will grow weary with waiting for tlie big things in store. Mr. Meloy was caught at the real estate exchange where ho was holding down the secretary's chair: "I would be glad if Tin: Timks would say," he asserted, "that 1 think the deals in Salt Lake Dirt this vear will be much greater than ever lief ore 1 am sincere, I don't deal In buncombe. I'll tell you why I have my opinion. 'There are millions of! dollars in the east that will come west j this year and it will be loaned cheaply j aud invested iu other ways, much of it right here. ' j Money Is Fit4tir. You have doubtless heard that even-day even-day for a month. I'll give you substantial substan-tial evidence of the truth of my statement. state-ment. I know of a loan recently made for building purposes at '.) percent. For two weeks I have offered stvaral thousand dollars and can't find a borrower. bor-rower. And I know of other men whose experience has been the same within a few days past." Vesterdnv's Keal F.sfnte Transfers.
