TIMELY REAL ESTATE TALK

lords Heap Profit of Scar
rltr f Buildings.
In the experience of some rental firms
there never yet has come a time when
they had not a single house on their lists.
But houses are so scarce new, especially
those of five or six rooms, that many of
them are likely to have this experience
within the next few months. Omaha's
population has evidently grown this sum
mer, for the difficulty in getting houses U
more pronounced now that It ever has been.
The Byron Keed compuny Monday morning
was compelled to put up a placard, "No
thing at. all to rent." George & Co., had
four houses listed. Payne. Bostwlck & Co..
two and the l'ayne Investment company,
out of 150 houses In its charge, had only
one vacant. The majority of the houses
that are listed for rent are above J30 a
month, and what Is the poor working man
going to do?
Are residence rentals too high? "No,"
ay the property owners and the real estate
men In chorus, "yes," comes the unani
mous voice of the renters.
Well, frdin one standpoint, rents are
never too high as long as the owner can
rent his buildings at the figures asked. But
Xrom another standpoint, they are too high.
The condition that keeps them soaring '.
the scarcity or houses. Houses are snapped
t by a dosen would-be occupants as soon
sthey are empty, so no wonder the land-

lords take advantage of their opportunities.
If more houses could be built, which is
asking a great deal, for the Omaha con
traitors seem to have been very busy all
year rents would naturally be more
reasonable. Omaha needs more houses, say
all the realty men.
There will soon be tive houses for some
body. Klve families south of Leavenworth
street and between Twenty -eighth and
Thirtieth streets, have decided to gtve up
their cottages on account of high rentals
and will begin life In apartment houses.
If more people would reach a like ditiKion,
there would be Joy in the hearts of many
house hunterB, who had rather live in a
tent than bear the discomforts of apart
ment house ' life. But how long will the
room in the apartment houses hold out,
if there is an exodus to them? Well, not
very long.
"More families would move out of the
proscribed district if we could And houses
for them," said Probutlon Officer Mogy
Uernsiein, who decreed some time ago that
children should move from the "red light"
noighborhood. This district is bounded
In a general way by Ninth and Thirteenth
street and Davenport and Douglas.
"We have induced about fifty families
to move since we began to work with
them nine months ago and we have about
fifty more yet to move," said Bernstein.
The majority of the futhers and mothers
seem to be willing to lake their children
to other, neighborhoods, but they say they
can't find houses. They say to us 'show us
houses.', and we are up the stump, for we
can't do It. Vacant houses are like hen's
teeth, hard tq find. Again, rents are higher
In other parts of the city and some of
the residents In the district can't afford to
pay more than they are charged now."
There Is considerable demand tor farm
property In the fajl as well as the spring,
and in the Ubt two weeks the demand has
started in earnest. In the lukt two weeks
J. H. Dumont & oti. alone, have sold four
farms. One was near Blue Springs, In
Gage county, one was the farm near Lin
coln of Howard Buldrlge of Omaha, one
wai Dr. ,H. Gifford's farm north of Fort
Calhoun, and one was northwest of Omaha.
Other tlrms report a good Inquiry and
satisfactory business.
Out lh the western part of the state land
keeps moving. J. P. O'Keefe wires In that
lie has sold another tract of land near
Kimball, and says new settlers are coming
to that part of the country In large num
bers. Improvement clubs claim the credit, and
Justly so, of securing for the outlying resi
dence districts of the city many Improve
ments which attract residents and enhance
the value' of real estate. On their Insistent
and repeated requests to the city council
and park board streots and alleys are
opened, sewers extended, sidewalks laid
trees planted and parks laid out and main-
More clubs are organised as the city
extends Its residence limits. The North
east Improvement club was organised In
North Omaha only last April, but In Us
short existence It say It has "secured a
special officer, an electric bell to protect
Its railroad crossing, also better streets
and sidewalks." The members of the club
say they pay their share of the city taxes
and they have united to get something in

Interested In this character of Intellectual

"Ladles, you do not spend enough moix-y

l'riif. Clark will lecture upon two topics

have accomplished It would take a column
to tell.
At last there Is a pubilc passage with a
cement sidewalk from Farnam to Hartley
street at Thlrly-fif III, and the people who
live on Harney street and Dewey avenue
can get to the car line dry shod, without

In the city council and the courts about '..
but the owners of the narrow strip
property the olty wanted finally had to
give up The pnrsure of the few yielded
to the public welfare.
The owners of property In other districts,
where a public thoroughfare is needed oi
may soon be needed, wight well take no
tlce of this and yield gracefully when the
time comes. It Is only a matter of time
until an opening will be demanded from
Harney street clear to Dodge, somewhere
between Twentieth and Twenty-fourth. At
present, there is not a street or public
path for four blocks.
M. F. Martin baa concluded negotiations
for the lot at the northeast corner of
Eighteenth and Webster streets, and prom
ises to erect a three-story flat building to
cover that lot and another he already
owned. This is the place where' Mr.
Martin said some time ago he expected
to build a hotel for colored people, and
the colored people are now watching to see
If he will make Ida promise good. Mr.
Martin expects to have plans prepared at
once and lyt tbe contract.
Two salt s of property in' the wholesale
district were made last week. The Milton
Rogers estate sold to DeWItt W. Smith the
J,four-story and basement brick building at
1114 Harney street, now occupied by the
Gate City Hat company. The consideration
was IXOot). The Uund Biewit g company
of LuCrosse, Wis., bought thirty-three feet
of ground adjoining the storage bouse at
Fourteenth and Leavenworth streets, for
the ultimate enlargement of the plant.

The proposed widening of Cass sir; el went
of Tlility-third. 1 and the propus-d paving
of the latter street will undoubtedly en
hance the value oi real estate between
U'a.ss and Cuming and west of Thlrty-tnlrd.
To be sure. Cubs street isn't widened yet
and the other Un't paved, but the prospccU
are good. An appraisal committee, ap
pointed by the city council, consisting of
D. ii. Christie, C K. Glover and P. Wiig,
net Friday and appraised the property
which must be taken by the city In the
widening if Cass street from Tlnrly-t hli J
to Thirty-sixth. Property In this neighbor
hood bus not been in much dt mand on ac
count of Its lnucceaulbUity.
Jamus C. Kuteson, the optician, has pur
chased a new home In Kountze place from
Hastings A Heyden, located on Rmmet
street just west of Eighteenth. Also the
large coener which adjoins the house on
ti e east, making a piece of ground 121 feet,
fruntlng on Emmet street and 124 feet on
Eighteenth. Consideration was H,5e0.
Few .real estate men, exeopt the wild
catters, vent tire to use cold newspaper print
to prophesy the movement for a given
period of prices on real estate, especially
on designated property. But A. P. Tukey &
Hon have ti e nerve. In their Sunday ad
vertisement they give a list of properties
which, they say, at the risk of the loss of
tl.clr reputation for knowledge of real
estate c indili uis will onttderahly blither
by next summer. They ask their readers
to make note of the list again on June 7,
lung, with prices asked on that date and
wieew at which the properties have been
sold In the meantime.
