NOW that government restrictions on. building have been removed and with the diverting of labor jiiil materials from government 1:011 tracts into industrial channel, construction con-struction will be resumed in Suit Lake immediately, according to leading real estate mm. Tangible evidence ot this may be found in the announcement .by J. ti. MeDouald chocolate company, com-pany, for instance, which bus accepted plans for an addition to its plant on est Third .South street, to co.t not less than $100, mju, and the building of a uew apartment Injure on the east dido at a cost of more than ftfiiGuu. The addition to the McDonald Chocolate Cho-colate company plant will Ta an exact duplicate of tin; present, building, on ground to the south of the existing plant, and adjoining it, having a depth of 180 feet. Will Make Cocoa. I'm trance to the new building, for shipping purposes, will be from the west side, reaened by a strip of ground which has been reserved for this purpose for some time. The new building will be used principally for the manufacture -of chocolate and cocoa, whle a portion of it will bo used as a box factory. The building will be constructed after plans Hubmitterl by I eadlund & Kent, architects, archi-tects, and will be one of the most modern in the country used exclusively in the manufacture of candies. It will be so constructed that it will meet with tho most approved ideas of daylight factory buildings. With its completion tho producing capacity of the .Mcl'on-ald .Mcl'on-ald Chocolate company will be doubled. Kxcavating for tho addition will beg-in early in the new year. While tho location "of tho new proposed pro-posed apartment house, 1ms not been djaelosed by tho projectors, it is known that it will be hi one of tho most re-j served sections, not far distant from youth Temple street and three or four blocks eaat of Maiu street. Lively Interest. While the continued prevalence of influenza in-fluenza has had a tendency to dullness in real estate circles, there is evidence everywhere of live interest merely u waiting an opportunity to assert itself. Nearly all of the realtors report an increasing in-creasing demand for homes, both modest and pretentious, and during the past Tveek quite a number of sales have been closed. Inquiry is reported to be gon-eoral gon-eoral for homes ranging in value from $3000 to $10,000, and tho supply continues con-tinues to be limited. It is believed that this condition will lead to extensive building early in the spring in all sections sec-tions of the city. The feeling among renl estate men generally is hopeful and buoyant. Main street property is in strong demand de-mand and it is a fact that has attracted wide attention that stores have remained re-mained idle but a short time, after having been vacated, during tho past few months. Jlv December it is expected ex-pected that tho Halloran-.Judge Loan Trust company will be in its new offices of-fices in the corner of the Judge building build-ing formerly occupied bv tho Denver ic Hio Grande ticket office. Seek New Quarters. Across the street, the quarters formerly for-merly occupied bv the Merchants' bank are being fitted up for occupancy of J one ot the most prominent retail con- cerns in ttalt Lake at a very earlv date, jfcmuth of the Ncwhouso building' A. G. Raiding Jirothers will soon be at home in new quarters, the old store on Second South street having become inadequate in-adequate to the demands of their business. busi-ness. Other changes in business locations loca-tions are expected tarly in the new year. in the farm depai tments of many of the real estate houses a marked period of activity has begun, and according ac-cording to a Prominent member ot the .Salt Lake real estate .board, a boom in tarm binds is anticipated that will attract at-tract wide attention. Because of the high price of suuar beets and a demand which is steadily becoming greater, land that is particularly adapted to tho growing of beets is being taken up as rapidly as it is offered. Sections of northern Utah and southern Idaho, which formerly were considered worthless worth-less tracts of sagebrush land are becoming be-coming enormously valuable, and little is to be found at less than $0U an acre. Heal estate dealers generally are looking look-ing forward to a boom in "farm lands regardless of distance from markets.
