"While we have no desire to wish any more trouble on the rct of mankind, man-kind, if onions and potatoes will just maintain their present level of priees until we at Val Verda et our acres under un-der cultivation thin year, Ihere will he a new crop of Utah millionaires nut on that beautiful tract of acre homesites," declared u man yesterday who, with his wife, has purchased an acre at Val "Verda and intends to mora out there this spring. ' The conversation took place in the office of the, Bctlilyon Homo Builders company yesterday, and whilo the price of potatoes, onions and almost every other ediblo is soaring skywards, it is having the effect, declared Thomas Gaddis of the Bettilyon organization, of directing a great deal of attention just now to VaJ Verda, where a man and his family can eoeure an acre of ground, move into a nfiw home with electric lights, telephones, water pipod all through the house under high pressure, sidewalks, graded streets and other conveniences, con-veniences, and raise sufficient potatoes, onions, vegetables, fruits, eggs and chickens to supply (he family table throughout tho ye.nr and at the same time have considerable to sell on the local mnrket each month. Mr. Gaddis doclures that the men and women who have been attracted to Val Verda and who have purchased acre homesites on tho Vieautiful tract lying seven and' a hnlL miles north of Salt Lake on the Centerviile car line, are those who are not afraid of a little extra ex-tra work and who want city comforts and conveniences coupled up with country coun-try economy. Val Verda is twenty-five minutes streetcar rido from tho heart of the Salt Lake business section, which means that a man can retain his position in town, do his regular work, and still have sufficient spare time on his hands at homo at Val Verda to take caro of an acre on which is planted some fruit trees, a good big garden, plenty of potatoes po-tatoes and with a cow and chickens to look after. Thousands of dollars havo already been spent at Val Verda by the Bettil-von Bettil-von Home Builders company, developers of the tract. Sidewalks are in, streets arc graded, a, great reinforced concrete reservoir is completed, and water is piped from this reservoir to every acre home on the tract. The water is' from fine mountain streams and springs and is as clear as crystal. Tt is under heavy pressure. There are electric lights and telephones already installed at Val Verda and the eight homes which have boon completed on the tract are a splendid splen-did indication of the character of homes and houses that will be built there this spring. President V. A. Bettilyon of the Bettilyon Bet-tilyon Home Builders company himself lives nt Val Verda and has resided there throughout the past winter, together with other Val Arerda residents. Mr. Gaddis and the other members of the Bettilyon organization report a very active inquiry and interest at Val Verda, Ver-da, despite tho prolonged winter. |
