F. t). vd y ha ha uttered a area dral from this reoenOr. At FeTentaenth and Podre elreeta whlla Ma eomriuiT waa remodollnj a hooaa parts of the phirotolna; were stoln nights, even after the rontractnrs had taken the precaution to board up the windows to Veep thWre out Ho says they took tha lead plpea ona ritjrht and 1he aaa plpa and fliturea tha nsxt. "And they even stole the doorknobs off one of our house." arrted C. F. Har rison. A number of rroseonttrtns have resulted within the last alx months for thla kind cf theft, but at the lust meeting of the TUal Estata exrhnn-e It wil the opinion that tha prosecutions of these Individual thieves Is not having; tha desired effoct of decreasing the number of thefts. The exchange long ago offered a reward for Information leading to the arrest and conviction of plumbing thleyes. These re wards the exchange has paid on numer ous occasions. ,aetla Is Debated. The question aa to whether It la worth while to continue the payment of rewards 1s one much debated by the) real estate men In view of the fact that there ara no Jess thefts slnca thla policy was Inaug urated. F. I. 'Wead suggested that the Junk dealers be approached In the matter, as it seems to be no trouble for the thieves to get rid of their plunder at a good price to any Junk dealer. Ha mentioned the rasa of one thief who waa caught deliver ing tha stuff to a certain Junk dealer In tha city. 'When the matter waa traced down it waa found tha thief waa working fr tha Junk dealer and waa driving one of tha Junk man's wagona. F. 11. Myers suggested that an ordi nance requiring Junk dealers to report dally the names of all persons selling them goods and tha description of tha good might be a good one. This la dona In the case of pawnbrokers. In order to get a check on thefts when tha stolen property Is turned into each at pawn shops. Will Not Work with the Nonunion Men An offensive and defensive alliance ha been formed by the bricklayers, carpent ers, plasterers, atone cutters and steam (hoisting) engineers, all agreeing that no members of one craft will not work on a building Job on which nonunion workers In ona of tha other crafts, party to tha alliance, are employed. They have noti fied tha Omaha Real Estate exchange that tha Omaha members have formed a conference committee to carry out the agreement. They have also notified the exchange that consideration of this alllanoe would save complications In their building operatlontln the future. Tha exchange received tha letter and placed It on file with no aotlon taken. Building for August and Eight Months In these distracting time a business that maintains Its former high record may be aaaumed to be aatlsfactory. On that assumption tha great building In dustry throughout the country may be regarded aa fortunate. For tha month of August, tha first month of the war, cov ering the period of Initial financial shock, new construction was entered into almost fully equivalent to that undertaken dur ing tha corresponding month last year. The loss wi 4 per cent, but small losses Ilka that may well be ignored. The official report of building permits, issued by seventy-two of the principal cities throughout tha country during the month of August, received by tha Ameri can Contractor, Chicago, reach a total of t4.3.4tt. a compared with 134.711,937 for August, 1913, a loss of 4 per cent This, August.

Tukey A Bon have during the last week added additional space to tholr old offices In the Hoard of Trade Building, thla being necessary on account of the firm's expansion and increase of business generally. The firm ha found It neces sary to enlarire Its Quarters twice during the last two years. Allan A. Tukey and Oeorge V. Jones have been placed in charge of the sales department, and will make a specialty of smaller properties. A. A. Ollbert will manage the rental xlepartment, It being found necessary for one man to give his entire attention to this department. Harry A. Tukey state that the activity lu the real estate market la remarkable, in view of all of the war talk that is be ing Indulged In at tho present time. The firm sold over :0O,OuO worth of property during August, which arguee very well fur Omaha real estate. APARTMENT HOUSES ARE NOW IN BIG DEMAND Hastings & 1 Icy dm find npartment houses in big demand. Thla firm is com pleting two apartment houses called "The Royal" and "The Harney," which con tain four-room apartments with the Mur phy disappearing beds. The demand Is so great for these apart ments that it was necessary to post a sign on "The Royal" located on Twenty- seventh street between Famam and Har ney, which reads, "You ara too late These apartments have all been rented." "The Harney." located on Harney street between Twenty-ninth avenue and the boulevard, has also been rented, ex cepting one apartment. These apart ments are not yet completed, but we ex pect them to bs ready for occupancy by October 1. This goes to show that iipn.rtment houses well planned and built In good localities having plenty of light and air sro still in big demand. however, compares with a gain of 12 per cent, scored by the July statement, so that had It not been for the foreign turmoil August would doubtless have shown a substantial gain. Earlier In the year there had been comparative losses. Not all cities, however, have shown recession In point of activity. Oalns are shown In Uiirty-thr. cities, among which -with percentages the following are rather not able: Cincinnati. 114: Pnternon, 317; Halt J.ak City, 270; Srranton. 1!"; Feattle. 19; Worcester, 1M; New Haven. 94. For the first eight months of the year tha total cost of building permits, Issued In seventy-two cities, total i:tO,r.l,WS, as compared with M3,l(W,fc for the same months lsAt year, a decrease of n per cent.
