HKnSl The sunken gardens that have been BftCL determined upon will be exactly what RpV he name implies.

Tho undulating sweep of KST its grassy banks, the broad base and K&t gently sloping sides offer a wonderful HKS opportunity for tho landscape gardener, and when the park is completed it is Hwb expected it will rival in natural and HEm man-made beauty tho finest sunken Kn parks any of the coast cities have to IflEg An elaborate scheme has been devised HBg? for laying out tho park, and for the Sl three-quarters of a mile that -it coils BHffgy in anf out "P 'nto' Douglas Park the homes of those who have purchased HE property in the park immediately ad- Hn jacent will overlook as beautiful a "HjS ioeno as can be found anywhere in the jgf; Are Building Homes. HSwa" In anticipation of the completion of BfftttSt nc Inri'n sunken garden and the others BILm that are to follow, as well as the sur HR$ -face parks, property owners in Douglas Park who have recently built homes, KgLfaL and those who are arranging for the MB;' erection of residences in the immediate MBS future, have been careful to adapt the BBf style of architecture of their houses to the landscape surroundings of their BHugSS, building locations. The rolling, gently sloping level of Jr. Douglas Park permits of an unusually largo variety of architectural dosigns, all of which are made to harmonize with the surrounding property. Mrs. Zina Y. Card of Salt Lake, who lius just had plans completed for a very art istic and elaborate home on tho south H nide of Ninth South street in Douglas HH Park, overlooking the city, valley and Ijfl mountains, has so arranged her home that the south rooms will overlook the sunken gardens, her property sloping jH swiftly from the building site levol down into the ravine below to the very cdee of the sunken park. The ravine is fully J 00 feet wlc at Df the bottom, and it is proposed in ad Hf dition to laying out the sunken gar dens to put in an automobile driveway halt-way down on each side of the ravine. This automobile driveway will ocntiuue up through Douglas Park and Hj divert to similar drivoways to be con struetcd along tho sides of the two other natural ravines in the park that A GOOD SSW JOnute8 ARTICLE ' M From The slight difference V ''M Broadway, in first cost is saved ' ' '$1 many times over in '$m, THIS HOME is as near PER- 'M.'

In block 5 of the park is the second large gully, and further up over the crest of the subdivision is the third. It is planned to develop these with, pri vate resources and maintain them by arrangements with adjacent property holders. The main sunken garden, from Thirteenth East street, however, has been deeded outright to tho city by the owners of Douglas Park, with the pro vision that the city establish and for ever maintain the property as a sunken garden and public park. To tho cast of Dicstal road in Doug las Park and to the north of Ninth South street is a deep, -winding ravine with a mountain stream tumbling along through its heavily wooded bottom the year round. Hero soveral very fine homes are to be built by wealthy men who have purchased lots, and prepara tions are under way to so landscape those building sites fiat thoy will merge artistically with tho natural Tavino to the east of them. Tho city is also to put in a BUTfaco park at tho southeast intersection of Dicstal road and Ninth South in Doug las Park, the property occupying most of the space between Diestal road and Military drive in the park.
