Show IMPROVEMENT ERA 1ST GO FORWARD Adolph Richter Says Petty Objection Ob-jection to Expert Plans Must Bo Ignored. Adolph Rlchtor, onft of Salt Lake's prominent realty doalors, returned Monday Mon-day from a trip to Mlnnosota, whero ho" has upont part of tho summer vlalting with his wife's family In St. Paul. Tho trip was entirely for pleasure and real, but Mr. Rlchtcr Investigated conditions, both in SL Paul nnd Minneapolis, especially espe-cially with rogard to real estate and public pub-lic Improvements. The one Is so closely Interwoven with tho other, he cnl;l, that tho rolatlon of tho two la most Important In ovory community, "The great difference that I find," said Mr. Rlchtor, "between the peoplo of tho cities In tho East and Salt Lako Is tho mannor In which public Improvements nro handled aftor It hu.s boon decided to make lmprovomonts. So long as tho peoplo peo-plo of Salt Lake balk at Improvements after thoy havq boon doclded upon and attumpt to change certain features after exports havo gone ovor them, JurI ' so long Salt Lako will nover havo a modern city. If the cngineor decides, after a long study of the problem, that such und such a grado Ib necessary, It must go through, and llkowlso with every other leaturo of Improvements. "After an Improvement Is made, It Is Just as e-snontlal that It be kept In good condition. I spoak moro dlroctly In ref-once ref-once to the parking of many of our stroots. It Is a good move, but to get the full value every person owning picp-orty picp-orty fronting on such nn Improvement must do his share to kocp tho park In good condition. If ho doesn't he idiould bo compolled to. Notice on South Tem-plo Tem-plo strcot and you will see dozens of places where the woeds are now burned off, and whore a green lawn should be. "Such a thing would not be tolerated In tho East. As a result real estate goes up. A forty-foot lot eight miles from tho center of St. Paul sells for $2500. That Is ono illustration of the value of tho parked street. Ultimately, wo will arrive ut this point nnd the quicker quick-er wo get to this stage the bettor. "Gonerally speaking, everybody from Salt Lako In the East Is a booster fur the city nnd those who have visited heio Fpcak woll of U3. but there Is a tinge of dlsappolntrnf-nt. because wo lack theso improvements which are a matter of course to them." |
