BRICK CHAPEL STARTED

A brick chapel, an addition to the Good

NASH TO BUILD BIG
, , ADDITION TO HIS HOME
A building permit has been taken out
' by Louis Nash for repairs on his home
damaged by fire some time ago. Tha
permit call for a brick addition to cost
. i tto.ooo. - .
Though It Is generally admitted that
real estate Is not especially active just
at this winter season, yet transactions
of a greater or less magnltudo are con
stantly being made. There Is compara
tively little letup In the business of buy
ing and selling dwellings. Those who
want a home are not particularly con
cerned whether It la winter or summer,
or whether there is or is not a war In
Europe. If they have the money they
buy the home just the same.
Real estate men who want to buy for
an investment or who want to speculate
on some houses are not especially par
ticular either when they can buy right.
Within the last few weeks several good
sized transactions have been made from
a purely speculative standpoint. There Is
that confidence in the stability of Omaha
property that prevents any live real estate
man from letting any reasonable proposi
tion get away from him when he has the
money to swing it.
Transactions Nwnaeroas.
The records at the ejurt house show
that in the first aa). a December 308
warranty deed laavt Jed. This la
an average of about t i transactions
a day. These tranKQns involve any
sum from $26,000 down. The large ma
jority of them are for residences In which
the consideration Is from $1,000 to $5,000,
although a not inconsiderable number of
them run to $10,000.
Building permits daily also show a good
substantial average activity for a mid
winter season, when some parts of the
country are complaining of a alight de
pression. In the first halt of December
these aggregated $201,870. They aggregate
as high as $23,900 one day and as high as
$110,000 on another day.

the Congressional Union "dope" waa to
