Unique Deal Made by Payne & Slater on Brick Building Company Buys Block for $5,000 Which Is Valued > at $60,000—Was Ford Plant. H.- B. Payne and E. M. Slater last week completed their acquisition of the property at the northwest corner of Twentieth and Harney streets. This property, which in 1909 was leased by the Ford Motor company as a vacant piece of ground for $300 a year, is now appraised at a total of $192,000, $132,000 being for the ground and $60,000 for the building. This deal is considered one of the most unique real estate transactions ever consummated in Omaha. The two-story brick building which Is on the property, has just been sold to Messrs. Payne & Slntar for $5,000. although the building is appraised by a loan company at $60,000. ,_ Until Payne & Slater purchased the Twilding, It was owned by Elmer Red lck through the terms of the Ford lease; this lease required that Redick take the building off of the ground by December 1, 1924. Contractors said the building could not be moved and that the cost of wrecking It would be greater than the salvage. In addition to the $5,000 which was paid to Mr. Redick for the building. Mr. Payne and Mr. Slater also paid him $4,900 which represented his net profit in the lease. Payne & Slater 'purchased the land for $75,000 in 1920 from the Folsam estate through the Byron Reed com pany. The Ford Motor company in 1909 took a 15-year lease on the ground, . the lease giving the. Ford company ” the right to erect a building on the property, provided the building be torn down and removed at the expi ration of the lease, December 1, 1924. This lease called for $300 a year for the first five years, $500 a year for the second five years, and $1,350 per year for the last five years. The lease was signed personally by Henry Ford, and the negotiations were conducted by James Couzens, row a United States senator from Detroit, and a former stockholder in the Ford Motor company. When Ford’s Omaha business be came too large for the Twentieth and Harney plant, the lease was sold to Elmer Redick. This was several years ago and prior to the time that the land was purchased by Payne & Slater. The property has a, 66 foot front age on Harney street and 147 feet on Twentieth street. The sale of the building and lease to Payne & Slater was handled by O. C. Redlrk, realtor and brother of Elmer Redick. Schabinger Buys Home. A. A.

The land was discovered off the const of Halgon, and was s* < n by the sailors because of a slight volcanic eruption on It. The new Island, when viewed, proved to be about 50 feet above the sea level and to lie ubout one half mile In circumference. The new Island may bring up the question of territorial right, but It will very probably go to Japan, as international law provides that an island discovered In the open sea out side the three-mile limit of any coun try naturally belongs to the ebuntry of which it* discoverer Is a citizen. West Dodge Acres Project Finished —^ Pavement to Be Ready for Traffic Middle of This Week. Big development project which was undertaken six months ago by Hast ings & Heyden on the old Lgngan land which is on West Dodge street opposite the I’eony farm, is now prac tically completed. The firm has established a branch office on Dodge street opposite the I’eony farm and expects to offer the tract for sale during the latter part of this week. The property has been named West Dodge acres. The development work included the building of a reinforced concrete road through the entire addition more than a mile long running northwest from Dodge street to Blondo. This drive, which is Eighty-fifth street, is absolutely straight and has no hills or depressions in it. The pavement will be ready for traffic by the middle of the week, accocrdlng to Hastings & Heyden’s en gineers. The workers finished their work a week ago Saturday, but the engineers would not permit travel on it until after it had ‘‘set” for 10 or 12 days. The reinforcing consists of steel bars bound together with steel wire and laid in the center of the pave ment, full width. In addition to paving Eighth fifth street, Eighth-seventh street, which runs alov.g the west side hf the south end of the addition has been surfaced with Platte river gravel. This Is the type of road that Is used almost ex clusively in Minnesota, according to road engineers. The development work in West Dodge Arres has included a vast amount of grading, both of the actual property and in the laying out of streets and driveways. The paving is protected by a sub drainage system consisting of tiling several feet under the ground and emptying into Papilllon creek. Russ Patriarch Attacked. By A Morin ted Preim. Constantinople. June 2—The Most Rev. Meletios Metaxakla. patriarch of the Russian orthodox church, was roughly handled yesterday by a group "f Greek.a who su idenly swarmed Into the phana In the afternoon, demand ing his resignation. There were about 300 of the Greeks who are understood to h»- factional followers of a certain bishop. The demonstrators rushed the build ing, entered the prelate's apartment, struck him and tore his robes. The patriarch was highly excited when seen by the correspondent. He called the attsck an outrage on Christian civilization. A heavy guard of French and Turkish military police has been thrown around the phana to prevent further disturbances. The attack on the patriarch seems to have been due to the opposition of a large group of orthodox Greeks who are subjects of Turkey. The inhabitants of some of the re mote parts of China have the Idea lhat the greater number of religious beliefs they profess the more certain are their chances In the next world.
