J Haddock secretary of the Mer chants and Manufacturers Manufacturers' association and a native nativo son lIon ordinarily suppose supposed to have a hard practical head on his hia shoulders has hit bit uon upon a scheme that I I arouses the imagination And yet it is practical practical practical-at at least looks that way under the enthusiastic spell of Haddocks Haddock's pencil and paper plans Knows tho the Ground And Haddocks Haddock's 5 ideas arc are not confined con confined I fined to pencil and paper As a boy he be roamed tho the hills in the tho vicinity of Ensign En En- Ensign Bi

are such that if Salt SnIt Lakers choose to tomake tomake make the best of it the hanging haning gardens of Babylon Bablon would be made to blo bio a back yard in in tho Boston slums Haddocks Haddock's plan is this Soil Soll Is Fertile The Tho state capitol is to be bo placed on the raised plateau to the tho north of thoc tho the c city tr just between Ensi Ensign n peak and the tho mouth of City Creek canyon The capitol cap cap itol will be built and tho the grounds around will be parked as in in tho the case caso of an any state building To the tho north of the capitol grounds alon along the b border of t the o peak and its eastward running ridge e is isa ISa isa a lar large e sloping section on which grasses and brush grow ow in a soil so BO rich that those seeking fine loam for their lawns go there and haul it awa away in wu wagon wagon- on loads Toads Investigation it is said has shown this soil to be several se feet deep All that is needed on this land says Mr Haddock is water and a few dollars dollars dollars dol dol- lars spent in planting shrubbery and trees to make ono one of the finest parks possible This stretch of land extends from Ensign peak east cast alon along the rid ridge e and for some Bome distance down tho the east eastside eastside eastside side of the tho capitol grounds Mr Haddocks Haddock's idea in re regard ard to o this land is to allow it to remain in its natural natural nat nat- ural state so 80 far as its geography raphY is concerned but to la lay it out Oll fco in in trees and grasses on a lar largo large e scale Rush Mountain Down As AB re regards ar s the sloping terraces nu and the villas of the tho rich Haddock has another au au- other plan Between Ensign n peak and bottom lands of the west si side do is a small ll buttock called Little I Ensi n Ensign peak From this hill bill the land slopes off in small water washed gullies to the level le plain below Because of the steep grade and tho the irregularity of the slope sope due to the man many gullies sullies this land is considered worthless while if it ran down into the city with a gentler entler incline and a smoother surface it would immediately become predicts Br Dr Haddock choice residence part of the city Ha Haddock dock proposes to push Little down the mountain sido side and let et it fill up the thc hollows This would minimize the grade ade and would Ie level le cl the lan land 1 between the tho I lir large e peak an and plain makin making the tho choicest est eat piece of residence land in the cit city limits To To I push t the b e small bu buttock Hoc k down the mountain side sido is not so 60 impossible as it sounds The Tho hill bill is not of rock formation and with the help of gray grav ity and a steam shovel the tho entire raise could bo be dumped into the hollows in sho short t order and with no great reat expense ex cx- pense says Rays Haddock who ha nad been beon over o the entire rc region on and made a careful summing up of the tho plans ho proposes Not Very Steep Tho The general appearance of th the thA hillson hills hillson on our north is deceiving as viewed from the city The apparent steepness of ol the slopes becomes insignificant under expert examination There Thero is already al already al al- ready a road rond running north on State to treet to the capitol ground round Skirting the east side of the grounds it runs the rid ridge e to Ensign peak and beyond to tho the old oId McClain ranch situated situated situated situ situ- I in the tho very tops of the mountains several hundred feet h higher her than Ensign En En- Ensign sign peak itself This ranch gave ave Haddock his bis cue cee On OnI the tho same kind of land as that already I described an nn orchard of forty acres produces fruit of as high a quality as I Any my in tho the valley Alfalfa of a superior quality is also d on this thin ranch nestled amon among the man many hills lulls on top of tho the rid ridge e that runs down on the north northside sido side of city creek A lar largo large e reservoir of water obtained from nearby streams I makes this fanning possible in thc the i mountain tops Haddock says say a that thai water is all that is needed to make tho the I I south fouth of tho the rid ridge o aa as fertile as S the top And is there thoro ho he claims Mayor Is Interviewed In an nn interview with Mayor Bransford Brans Brass ford yesterday afternoon Haddock got gel ot othis his honor to admit that the proposed r development of the tho north section of ot this the I ci city ty was possible if wa water could bo be I supplied At present the tho City creel creek supply is entirely used in municipal I consumption and nothing could b bo spared from that source for the tho proposed proposed pro posed park or suburbs
