( BUILDING IN SALT LAKE IN 19041 i li The year 1904 was distinctively one of home building In Salt Lake City. The record shows that a greater number of buildings were erected during tho year than In 1903. although the total amount expended was not quite so great. Such buildings as the Emery-Holmes apartment apart-ment house, costing $160,000; tho Judge Memorial Miners' Home, costing $125,-000' $125,-000' the Independent Telephone company's com-pany's line building the Atlas block, the Oroves-Latter-doy Saints' hospital, the new Birat Presbyterian church, the Lafayette school. Federation of Labor hail Judd apartment house. M. n. Walker residem e, the Keith apartment-bouse apartment-bouse and the addition to the All Hallows Hal-lows college helped to swell the total I value of building Improvements for 1903. During the last year there have been 1 comparatively few buildings of large cost erected, while many homos, the greater number of1 moderate cost, have een built. Reports of Building Inspector Lewis show that during the eleven and onc-j onc-j half months of 1904. to December 17, the J total number of buildings and Improve ments for which permits had been ls-I ls-I sued was tit tho total value of which 1 J J1 394 8S4 In addition to this it Is ca rt tlmated that the sum of $1,600,000 was B ' expended during the year for the contr 3 pletlon of buildings for which permits ; ,J were taken out in 1903 and upon bulld- : logs for which no permits have been ls- 5 su-?d. making the grand total cost of h ooi building Improvements reach the V .1 handsdme um Of $2,804,884. Permits for jj the now public library building and the la new Herald building, as well as for ; three fine modem terraces and eighteen l cottages on which work has been start ed by Covey Bros., are not Included in the 1904 list, while mU'h work was done during the year upon all the large bulld-i bulld-i lngs started In 1903.

Altogether the showing is a creditable one, and the outlook for even greater things for the coming year is very bright. The dwellings and apartment houses built during 1904 will accommodate accommo-date very close to 1000 families, or an additional population Of F.000, and jet no more houses are vacant than were unoccupied unoc-cupied a year ago. Tho record shows that Salt Lake Is adding to Its population popula-tion a class of citizens who demand substantial, modern home9, and that many of her old citi2er, who vj ed are now acquiring hnr T l own.
