Realty Deals Total
Close to Million
Most of Sales Are Small, Larg
est Being for %
$60,250.
Nearly three-quarters of a million
dollars of real estate deals were offi
cially put on record in Omaha last
week.
Most of these deals were small, the
largest being for $60,250.
The total of the deals of $4,000 or
more each was $695,454. This total,
because it includes deals of $4,000 or
over, does not take in many of the
vacant lot sales, and omits several
house deals.

Work Progressing Rapidly on Capitol
| Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee.
Lincoln, May 12.—Work is pro
pressing rapidly on Nebraska's new
state house.
; Pictures here show the huge der
ricks used in construction and a view
of tlie outer wall which is enclosing
the old state house.
It is tlie greatest bit of monument
al structure building attempted in
Lineoln. Neb., or the middlrwest and
each day finds interested citizens by
the dozens watching its progress with
interest.
The state house is to be erected in
three sections. Work is now prngres
lng on the first section. Tlie second
section will not be started until the
old state house is torn down and
hauled to the state penitentiary
where it will be used in erecting cell
houses and other buildings.
Before work starts on tearing down
the old state house, the first section
of the new one will be made habita
ble, so most of the state's work can
be carried on in that section, pend
ing completion of other sections.
While the first sections and ground
work construction, when completed,
will bo beautiful and will vie with
interiors and exteriors of state
houses and monumental structures in
the country, the real outstanding,
prccent breaking feature, the tower,
has drawn attention of the entire
country to Nebraska’s capital build
ing.
This tower, 400 feet in height and
K0 feet square, dome shaped at the
top. will loom from the massive
lower floors of the building and bo
visible from the plains surrounding
Lincoln for miles.
Jn the creation of this tower, the
'architect, Bertram G. Goodhue, has
broken away from the time honored
custom since Homan days of a dome
;ns the outstanding feature of moni>
mental structure.
The tower Is uniquely monumental.
At the same time, it will be utilized
as the needs of the state grow. It
will be so arranged .as to save space
and provide office buildings, the same
as a sky-scraper.
ordinarily, a building of this height
would supply 20 floors of office space.
The tower, however, will consist of
only 15 floors. The 15th. or top
floor, will be 5 times as high as the
other floors.
It is to be the real show place of
Nebraska. There will be the G. A. R.
emblems, historical relics and other
memoirs of precious value in Ne
braska history.
Increase Shown
in Valuation of
2 Subdivision;
Advance Is from $62,000 to
Over Million—Point Is
Illustrated to Real
Estate Board.
An increase in assessed valuation
of from $62,000 to more than $1,000,000
is the advance which has been made
in two Omaha subdivisions, according
to figures compiled last week by X.
Shuler.
Mr. Shuler made the compilations
to illustrate to the Real Estate hoard
the value to a city of subdivision work
among realtors.
The two additions that he selected
were Lockwood, located in the south
west portion of the Dundee district,
and X'oppleton Park, located north of
Davenport street afid east of the
Belt line.
In 1915 Lockwood. then undevel
oped. was assessed at $29,000. The
assessed valuation of the ground in
1922 was $233,850. and the assessed
value of the buildings at that time
was $33,700. making a total of $567.
550.
Poppleton Park in 1914. then un
developed. had an assessed valuation
of $33,000: in 1922 the assessed value
of the ground in Poppleton Park was
$101,325. and of the buildings $133,
980. making a total of $235,305.
The total of the 1922 valuations for
both additions was $902,833.
According to Mr. Shuler, since the
1922 valuation was made there has
been more than $200,000 worth of
building done in these two additions,
tints raising the valuation to more
than $1,000,000.

Set During April
370.000 Vehicles \&ill Be
Made This M until: Estimated
Ford Sets New ^ ech s
Production Mark.
*t I’nhersal gerru-e.
Detroit. May 1$.—Although v.
ones in motor circles stated during
the week that automobile production
reached tlie peak in April, activity in
Detroit plants indicates that May out
put will surpass that of the previous
month and possibly reach 37U.OOO
vehicles.
Operations in the majority . f plants
continue at the earn* lewis achieved
in April. Signs of slowing down ar#*
noted in only one or two factories
More than offsetting this, at least six
of the larger companies plan to make
more cars in May than they produced
in April. Increases already made In
dally output indicate the sinceiity of
tho announcement.
Advances in Ford production alone
gaurantee a m w high total for the
month. The Ford Ma> schedule calls
for approximately 120 cars a day
more than were produced in April.
Output for the week ending Tuesday
night shows that the factory is more
than living up to its program. Pro
duction for the period was 053, h
new high mark for a week and ex
ceeding the best previous w* < K bv
102. Daily records were smashed May
4 with an output of 6.500 vehicles
More than 250.000 Ford cars and
i trucks were sold during the first four
months <>f tha year. Exact figures
ire 561.544, which is nearly twice ths
number sold at retail during the same
period last year. The factory Is op
eratlng on a basis of 6.500 cars a.id
trucks** day and cannot keep pace
with the demand.
Cadillac is enjoying the most active
period in its history. Factory ship
inents during April were more than
25 per cent greater than during the
best previous month. Deliveries to
owners also set new marks according
to Lynn M< Naughton. vice president
;«nd general sales manager. The
factory is working on an overtime
schedule.
Capa* ity operations of all TTupmo
bile plants since January 1 have re
suited In sales of nearly as many cars
for the first four months, of 1923 a*
for the entire first h x months of
1922. according to Charles D. Hasting*
president Tlupp shipments for April
were 4.637 cars and shipments for the
first four months. 16.671, compared
with shipments of 10.2U5 for the same
months a year ago, an increase of 62
per cent over the record period of
1922. Lv (be end of May more than
half of Hdpp'm scheduled 1923 output
of 40.1)00 cars will have been made.

Deal Shows Gain in
Value of Property
The purchase last week by the t
Omaha I-oan and Building associa
tion of the property at 1508 Dodge

Dodge street and the building is a

Flat Rate Plan
Reduces Dod*e
O
Service Costs
*
A1 so Improves Quality of
Work. Local Dealer Says;
Can Tell Definitely
Cost of Repairs.
What is meant by “flat rates serv
ice ?*’
Much discussion of this subject is
heard among motor car owners, hut
It Is evident, from the nature of
these conversations, that many have
only a vague Idea of its real signifi
cance. As' a matter of fact, flat rates
service, as applied by the leading auto
mobile dealers. Is net definable in a
single sentence.
"In the first place," according to
the local dealers for Dodge brother*,
"it means that a careful study was
made of the thousands of operations
that might enter into the repairing of
a motor car. On the basis of these
time-studies, reasonable time allow
ances for every conceivable service
job were established, and the me
ihanlc is required to complete each
job within the allotted time.
"When an owner brings his car to
the service station for repairs we are
ahie to quote him a positive figure
for the work to lie d-uie. We are
also enabled to give him a definite de
livery prom.se. with the knowledge
that the car will come out of the
shop on time. Thu*, the owner has
no possible ground for complaint,
either as to price or delivery. In
short, flat rates service mean* that
the service station is able to tell the
owner exactly how long it will tai.e
to repair his car and the pri^e
such repairs. It permits the selling
of service on a businesslike basis.’’

GATES TIRES
“The Tire with The Wider and Thicker Tread”
Why Does This Happen?—
During the past three months,
dealers have bought more than
2Vi times as many Gates Super
Tread Tires as were ordered in
the same three months of last year.
We think you’ll agree there’s just
one reason for a record like this.
It’s because motorists are learning
that they get two or three thousand
extra miles from the tire with the
wider and thicker rubber tread—
