Building. Loan ^Officials Report * Prospects Good Strong Note of Optimism Is Sounded in Reports Re ceived From Concerns . in 16 Cities. By T. J. FITZMORRIS. Strong note of optimism is sound ed by managers of building, savings and loan associations In their com ment on the business outlook in Ne braska for 1924. Reports received from men in daily touch with saving and home making people, fairly regis ters the tone of business conditions in the communities hoard from. Out of 33 reports from cities out side of Omaha, 14 declare "business prospects good," seven regard the out outlook as "very fine;" five report "prospects exceptionally fine;" three say “the outlook is better than a year ago;" one says, "prospects not as good as in 1923;" another says, "outlook even better than last year,” and one "slow." From 16 Cities. The cities included in the reports are Lincoln, Nebraska City, Beatrice, Tecumseh, Seward, Hastings, David City, Grand Island, North Platte, Co lumbus, Fremont, Norfolk, Harting ton, Ord, Aurora and Wahoo. With only two exceptions the re are uniformly optimistic and confident. Among the co-operative associations of Omaha the outlook is equally cheerful and satisfactory. The business development of Ne braska associations during 1923 sur passed the post-war boom year of 1920. Reports from 40 leading asso ciations show assets totaling $105. 000,000, a gain of $14,000,000, or 15 per cent in 12 months. Assets Show Increase. If the associations not reporting have maintained the average per centage gain, the assets of all asso ciations in the state, on the first of the year, approximated £114,000,000, indicating a fiscal year total around $122^000,000, on June 30 next, com pared with $10S,798,989 last June. The associations reporting made 2,98G loans for new buildings, mostly homes, during 1923, compared with 2,503 new building loans in 1922. The inflow of money Is leported plentiful, as is customary in mid winter, insuring an abundant supply for new construction demands during the coming building beason. Destiny licked Napoleon at Water loo. Perhaps it Is to give ordinary folks a chance that you are held down. New Invigorator Wins Praise From a Doctor Commenting on treatments supposed to aid in restoring youthful vigor to the aged and those prematurely “old,” Dr. G. L. Miles, a California physician of 40 years’ experience, says: “I * ^fave been told of all kinds of capsule and tablet gland cures and all have been condemned, but korex compound is, without fail, the best invigorator I have yet known.” An Illinois physician, 78 years of age, after trying this re cently discovered compound in his own case, says: “Soon after supper, I took two of the korex tablets. When morning came, I thought I was young again. I continued the treatment and am well pleased.” Men and women in all parts of the country have reported grati fying success after using this simple home treatment in cases of impaired gland and nerve functioning, lost vigor, premature age, failing memory, poor appe tite, exhaustion and debility, gome letters tell of surprising results observed in only a few days. A full-strength treatment of the compound in tablet form can be obtained, under a money-back guarantee, by writing direct to its distributors, the Melton La boratories, 1474 Melton building, Kansas City, Mo., a thoroughly reliable company. Those wishing to accept this guaranteed offer should enclose $2 with their or ders or agree to pay $2 and postage when the parcel is de livered. The purchase price will be refunded immediately, how ever, to anyone who reports to >(he laboratories within ten days that he is not satisfied. AllVEBTISEMKNT.

Civic Bodies and Realtors Plan for Banner Year Chamber Municipal Affairs Committee Proposes Charter Amendments to Improve Ruihliuf! Conditions. With prospects of :i banner year in real estate every effort is being made by realtors and civic groups to en courage building. Inducements to build at once are being offered by real estate dealers. New additions are being opened or platted preparatory to being opened. On every hand activity is to be seen in preparation for the coming of spring and the building season. Civic groupsware doing their part in attempting to obtain more pav ing. to have the paving now down repaired and to build new drives. The latest step in the campaign is a resolution of the civic and munici pal affairs committees of the Cham ber of Commerce recommending plac ing of, charter amendments on the ballot at tlt«5*pring election. May G. Chief among these proposed amend ments is one that would give the city council power to order paving on boulevards within a radius of one and one-half miles of the city hall. Streets Already Covered. % The council now has the right to order paving on all streets within that radius without applying for a petition to the property owners. Such an amendment would assure the maintenance of Turner boulevard, part of Lincoln boulevard, part of the Florence boulevard and short dis tances on other streets classed as boulevards. It is believed by members of the committee that such an amendment would stimulate building In certain districts. Another amendment would protect property owners from short-time taxes and pertains to opening and widening streets. At present the taxes for such work are assessed against the property along tho street that Is being improved and is payable within ',0 days. The amend ment extends the time of payment to 10 years. Ponte lots. W. K. Ellis, assistant commissioner of the Chamber of Com merce, said, along South Twenty fourth'street. where it was widened from Leavenworth street to St. Mary avenue, were assessed $2,000 for their share of the expense. While the assessment would be the same under the amendment, the time would lie extended for payment. Sinking Fond Provided. The third amendment provides for a sinking fund to care for Omaha's bonded indebtedness. At present there is no such fund and often when an issue of bonds matures there is no money to use for retiring them. As a result. Omaha's credit is impaired. On several occasions trouble has been en countered in disposing of an issue of municipal bonds. Some of the original Indebtedness of Douglas county, acquired when the county was first incorporated, still exits’ Ellis said. The city Is In much the same predicament and cannot help Itself until some system is de vised whereby l>ond* can be retired when they mature.

New Additions Help Pay Omaha Taxes The value of additions to a city from a standpoint of taxes was shown In a statement by Charles W. Martin. According to figures he obtained at tlie assessors office, the total as sessed value of the Minne Lusa addi- ■ tion in 1914 was $61,300, and the taxis wee $715.03. In 1923 the same section was assessed on a value of $1,846,143 and the city collected in taxes $41,095. In his talk he pointed out that this collection of taxes aided people in every section of the city. He added that the new addition put on the market by his company, was even iaiger than Minne Lusa and would therefore be a greater source of rev enue. Bee Want Ads Produce Results.
