Show THE CITIZEN 8 HOLLIDAY The growth of Salt Lake City must necessarily be towards the southeast. The growth and development of Sugar House is an indication of what will ultimately exist in several other business centers or shopping centers in a southeasterly, 'direction. The reason why the natural growth would be towards the southeast is because that part of the. valley is not subject to 'floods, the soil is rich and fertile, the mountains and canyons are nearby and the environment generally is extremely favorable to That section known as Holliday has recently taken on a great deal of activity in building and general improvements. One hundred sixty-seve-n new homes have been erected in the past two years. Most of these residences are of moderate cost, but are of a very substantial type. This fact was brought out in a recent survey made for the Granite School District, wherein Holliday was designated as being the center of population for that particular district and that the homes being built there were of a permanent, substantial construction. There are also a number of wealthy people buying property and locating in Holliday, building artistic, modern home-buildin- Holliday is supplied with city water, telephone service, electric light, excellent transportation facilities and most of the main highways are paved. Holliday has no smoke problem, but the atmosphere is clear and invigorating and from most parts, one can get an excellent view of the entire valley and a most wonderful view of the mountains, on one of which there is a perpetual snowdrift. It is located outside the city limits where the taxes are negligible and for a very reasonable figure one can get an acre or half acre lot in a desirable neighborhood. It is now possible for nearly everyone to enjoy the advantages for themselves and families, of living in the country, since with the automobile and modern roads it is only a 15- - or drive from Holliday to Salt Lake City no longer than it takes to get to the center of town on the street car if one lives ten blocks out. ute short distance south of the Holliday store, is one of the most picturesque in Surrounded the valley. by a grove of treds, green lawns and many beds of beautiful flowers, with here and there a small stream of running water, nonds filled with mountain wild trout and some ducks, the place has the appearance of fairy land. nue, just north of 48th South in Holliday, ft fa the property of Dr. J, Sears.

This league sponsors such civic improvements as street paving, the removal of dead trees and beautifying of home grounds, naming of streets, numbering of houses, installation of fire hydrants and sidewalks, etc. Mr. Malcolm A. Keyser is, this year, Presi- dent of the League. The Holliday Association and the League are, at present, cooperating with a view to securing for Holliday a new grade school building, at which time the present school building, known as the Irving School, will be converted into a Junior High School, thus furnishing Holliday with all the school facilities obtainable in Salt Lake City or elsewhere.

MISS OPPORTUNITY When Miss Opportunity comes to your door, And bangs with the knocker as never before; Just drop what youre doing, and bur ry like sin, To throw wide your portals welcome her in! With a smile and a bow and and your courtliest air Just waltz her right up to the eas- iest chair! Remember at best shes a finicky maid, And when shes not wanted she never has stayed. So look to her comfort and hovering near, To all that she says lend a listening ear! For strange in a female her words are but few, And when she has spoken she really is through! Lnd never forget, if you dont her right, Shell vanish away, like a the night, treat thief though you may fancy come back some day, Tis likelier far, that shell alair onfov Lnd, J' T But if shes made welcome why she is fain To bear you in mind and to stop again! and P Ay! Though you leave home wandering afar, . Believe me Some of the homes completed in Upper Yale Park. shell always where you are! --C. know M. LINDSAY, |
