Show REAL ESTATE Wi The Dealers are Very Proud O er the Becord of the Year's Business, W. H. H. SPAFFOED'S BIO BALE. Much Dissatisfaction in the Beal Estate Exchange Over the Resolutions Approving Ap-proving the Birdteje View, The members of tho real estate exchange ex-change were in a very happy frame of mind this morning. They had read The Times' record of tho transfers for the year, and could hardly realize that in twelve months they had sold $jl.?50,-004 $jl.?50,-004 of real estate. The showing excels that of any other city of 50,010 population popula-tion in this country by nearly one-half. The estimate of $7,008,000 in buildings build-ings is not approached by any other city, even of double tho size of Salt Lake. The gain miles of railroad and money expended in broad gauging the llio Grando Western and Utah and Western is greater than that of any other state excepting Colorado whore tho heavy work on the Midland and Denver & Kio Grando ivas done. In the number of miles of street railways rail-ways Salt Lake, and in the perfection of their equipment Salt Lako is the banner ban-ner city of the west, the improvements in this line during the year far excels that accomplished in other cities. More small "dummy" lines have been built and are building to the suburbs than in any city of the same population. In every line of trade, including the increase of banking capital Salt Lake stands ready to compare the figures with any city in the country. . It has been an era of unparalleled prosperity and the real estate men had no small )iaud in securing the grand results. They have reason to congratulate congrat-ulate themselves roundly. W. H. H. Npaltbrd's Dig Deal. W. II. H. Spafford has a big sale ou tap involving tho sale of 34x105 of line business property between Second and Third South streets. The consideration, considera-tion, it is understood, is $23,000. The deeds were made out and all tho conditions con-ditions to the sale agreed upon, but as there had been no actual transfer of the property further particulars were withheld. The Bird's Eye View Squabble. There was considerable feeling expressed ex-pressed by members of the real estate exchange at the morning call in regard to the Bird's Eye view. Ouo of tho members openly charged that the resolution reso-lution endorsing it had been run through a call meeting of the exchange ! without a quorum, and that ho would , bring the matter, up at the regu-1 lar Wednesday meeting of the : exchange. The rnen o. ning prop-: erty west of the Jordan are ' not slow in giving vent to their dissatis- j faction, as the bird's eye while showing ' all the ground from tho Jordan to the lake, ignores the valuable improve- , ments in the various outlying additions i and gives a very desert" appearance. I And again, the men with additions in j the south part of the city complain that ; the picture shuts them out of its hori- j .on altogether. i It is unfortunate that tho sketch for' the view was not submitted for insoec-tion insoec-tion before worked on the stone, so that : innumerable blunders and omissions might have been rectified. ; The various dummy lines to tho out- ; lying additions, together with indica- j tions that there were such things in this j city as warm and hot springs would not ' have been out of place iu a true view of Salt Lake. The squatty effect of tho , majestic mountains could also have been corrected. Ileal Kstnte Notes. Messrs. Lynch oiGlassmati yesterday sold four lots in their Fourth South ' street - addition to F. O. Myer, J. L i Maginnis and ,1. F. Meiimil. This ! closes half of the lots in the addition. I Thomas E. Williams sold lot 10 aud 20 in Denver l'lace to Alice E. Simmons for 22,000 today. ' Don C. Duncan sold lot 7, block 10, plat A, Big Field survey, to J. A. Mor-lun Mor-lun for $2,250. , |
