'WHAT DEALER SAYS ON TOPIC

Direction.
"Havs you any house to sell that weren't
'built to 0811?" asked a, woman tha other
day a he walked Into a real eaUt office.
She ia ono of many. A strange prejudice,
in many, many cases aa unjust prejudice,
exists against houaei built by Investors and
(home building; companies. If tha customer
learns a house waa built to sell, he doesn't
want It; he paasea to another at once.
"This sort of thins la nonsense," says a
real ostat man. "The way to tell whether
or not a house la well built la to examine,
lit in detail. Many a house put up by a
homo building- concern la better than thou
' sands erected by people for homes for
themselves. I know man who make a
cood living by building a house for a home,
. aejllng and building again, selling and
'feulldioc and ao on ad Infinitum. He builds
Hot a home" and actually moves to. but
the faot to he builds to sell."
' Thirty-five out of the fifty lots placed on
ale by Hastings & Heyden to Curtis &
6 tnnsS addition hare been sold. This ad
dition is earth of Fort Omaha.
tmnlal M. Hlldebrand has bought from
WUUsua X. Potter, receiver, two St tools
fats at Park avenue and Harney streets,
for fciB00. The transaction waa maae
through Hastings Heyden. This firm
has softt one of Its saw houses on Twenty
second street, between Laird and Spragua
streets, to Mr. Taft of Bt. Joseph, who Is
coming to Omaha to live. It has also sold
' to B. MeGough a five-room cottage now In
. fturae of construction at Twenty-third and
Manderson streets. The firm sold to Duff
Green nineteen feet oa tha souUi side of
Harney street, near Twenty-sixth, adjoin
ing tha Hats Mr. Oraen bought reoently tor
11,000. This ground belonged to Bert Bher-bondy.
K. T. Harden has begun tha erection of a
siew homo for himself In Kountto Reserve,
at tha ooruer of Nineteenth and Spencer
Streets. Xt will be of eight rooms and will
coat tt.UXi. The living room will be clear
across the front of the house, tts dimen
sions being twentyflvoert by thirteen feet
six tnohes. In addition there will bo a den,
a back parlor, a dining room and kit ah en
on the first floor. , Mr. Heyden was de
scribing his house to a number of real ee-
' tate man and his remarks brought up the
subject of the large living room which has
become so popular In the last few years.
Boma men go ao far with the Idea that they
bave but throe rooms on the lower Door, a
kitchen and a dining room and a huge liv
ing room, taking up )n so sua oasea mora
Bpaoe than the other two rooms combined.
, The opinion expressed by Mr. Heyden'a
friends, and It agreed with his owe opin
ion, waa that the big living room Idea Is a
- good one, provided there are at least throe
other rooms on ths lower floor.
Hastings V Heyden have begun work on
five new houses at Twenty.flTth and Frank
lin streets. All but two or three of the
houses the firm has built this summer have
Veen sold. Borne were sold before tha foun
dation was completed, which shows the
demand for residences in Omaha.
Eighteen houses are now In course of
construction in Boulevard terrace and Field
Club addition, both in the Immediate vi
cinity of the Field club. Nineteen houses
are under way In Kountze Place. Nine
are being put in that portion of Sulphur
Springs addition east of Sherman avenue.
These are Just a few. Other additions
could be canvassed and they would be
found enjoying the same growth.
y
Speaking of tha Field olub district, R. C.
Peters & Co., last week bought six lots In
Boulevard terrace, on which they will ul
timately build houses. This firm is now
having plans drawn for five residences,
which they will build ou another group of
lota In the same neighborhood.
Bids were recelred Saturday for the con
struction of the four-story addition to the J
Merchants' National bank building at Thir

pletion Is promised about the last of Octo
ber. The first floor will be occupied by the
Omaha Oas company, the second floor by
the bank, the third floor by the street rail
way company and the fourth floor by the
Columbia Fire Insurance company.
A. R. Blevel has bought from Mrs. Sarah
Vangrovltch the largo dwelling house at
the southwest corner of Twentieth and
California streets, paying S10,00. The house
was formerly the home of Walter H. San
ford of tha Union Paclflo.
Dr. 8L T. Mercer will erect modem brick
Bats adjoining the Cambridge hotel on the

small houses on the lot, 308 and 21 North

Speculation is rife as to who has the

The city license Inspector has started to
strictly enforce the new ordinance govern
ing the lie-riming of automobiles used for
carrying passengers. The ordinance was

oyer the veto of the mayor and prescribes
a license of tla a year for tsach machine
and 15 for each chauffeur. Previous to the
passage of this ordinance the fees required
were 130 for each machine and $10 for each
chauffeur. Thla waa admitted by the city
authorities to bo excessive and the Inspec

would be made for him If he winked at
violations pending a reduction In fees. The
mayor vetoed the license because It did
not prescribe that guaranty companlea
could sign bonds, nor does It prescribe
bond for maohlne owners. He desired these
changes, but the council did not meet him.
Saturday morning the Inspector made a
round of the garages and salesrooms and
Informed managers that after Monday
morning no machines would be permitted to
operate without the required license, and

complaint and the statement that no such
machines were maintained at that place.

stopped and the chauffeur arrested unless

taken.

A ear of asphalt bas reached Omaha for

California asphalt beds June 14 and mado
the trip In the unusual time of twenty-two
days.
For a week or more no one was certain
that the car would ever arrive and for
more than two we?ks the .repair plant has
been borrowing material and running with
reduced force awaiting the arrival of this
car. Just where the asphalt lias bee;
waiting may never be known. ' In the first
place shipment was delayed by fire In the
factory. The first material sent out after
the fire was consigned to Omaha. The hill
of lading arrived on time, but the car did
not. A tracer failed to show that any car
had ever been sent, but a car hearing the
number designated on tha way bill was
said to have been sent on a different mis
sion. Thla peculiarity of California car
