Show Improvements That Are Making Salt Lake a Beautiful City Under f lie direction of the American parly administration there is being expended upon public improvements in Salt Lake City this summer tlie sum of $1,218,426.65. This work is giving employment to approximately 1400 men. This means that at least $3150 is paid out every day for wages to workingmen, and, on the basis of twenty-six days to the month, the enormous sum of $81,900 is being paid out every month in wages on public improvements in Salt Lake alone. The city's own share of the $1,218,426.65 which is being expended in improvements, is $696,100.77. This includes the city's proportion of improvements, the bulk of which is paid for by owners of abutting property; also improvements which the city is making at its own expense from bond issues and other funds. Following is a table showing the nature of each improvement being made, the name of the contractor, the total cost of the improvement, the city's proportion of the cost and the total number of men employed thereon: CURBING.
