' .. Improvements to the amount of $6000 will be made at 7 Liberty park. I It' is believed the new. improvements will save the city 1 $100,000 in insurance this year. . The above are public improvements. The probability Is that , $80,0.000 will be spent in depots by the two great .railroad companies. , More. new residences are being built at the present time than were ever seen before In the city. , " and very many of them are first class. Then" there are more heavy business blocks that are . 'about to be' commenced and the building dver of two or -7 three of the older ones is in progress. ' '( . One and possibly two "great schoolhouses will be erected 0 this year, and If it Is possible there should be a fine high .'ehool building erected, "because the old one is not fit for :the purpose for which it is used and it is not very safe. The population of the city increasing rapidly every :sday. The bullion receipts are higher than ever before, and Hhey are but awaiting the completion of reduction works to become sensational in their magnitude. ' ' The town of Garfield' Is growing rapidly, and It is in fact but a suburb of this city, from which all supplies will "be furnished and which ought to make homes for hundreds ;of working men, who work their regular shifts night or day " at Garfield. , ' : The additional water, the improvement of the sidewalks 'ind streets will supply renewed inducements for people to . come here and make their homes. The hotels are filled, and we hope in a few days to r announce the commencement of a new great hotel, which will be one of the great attractions of the city when completed. com-pleted. The health of the city is good, the flowers are all in bloom, and Salt Lake today is about the most winsome ;v city between the seas. |
