A1 * IMPORTANT QUESTION ANSWERED I'rlif * n I'tojiprty Trw V i r AC" I" DifTi-rcnt Part * el tlm OltJ C l - jmrrd with Trcfteut A quoMton fnqaeutly asked is , do invest ments in Omaha real estate payt It is a faot well Known that a great deal of money ba > been gained in Omaha through invest- in on t * in rtial estate , but the question with tnanv ts , have tbe more recent investments paid' During the so-called boom every oao wa "talking lenl estalt" and when a f.locx Of property changed bands ull the particulars were made public. At the present Ume when a piece of real estate is cold the vendor does not advertise how much ho gained by the transaction any more than a Jobber Mould baast of his gain from the sale of a coilalu bill of merchandise. As the profits on tbis and tbat piece of roi' estate are not heralded far and wide , as was done in former A oars , some people are led into the error of believing tbat investments iu Omaha property do not pay as well as thev did earlier In the city's history. In other words some are inclined to believe that Oitiaha property has not advanced much dunng tbo past fewyrars. It is no very difficult matter to show tbat uch i not the case , put tbat really desirable property has advanced and Is now selling for Mure than it brought even during the height of tbe boom. 'Jbo luct is , Omaha's boom was u boom of activity more than it was a boom of prices , uud values hero worn never lorcod beyond a reasonable point. Hence , with the end of the boom propertv stopped Chun trine bands with cucb rapidlu , put \uluci , continued to keep pace with tbe growth ol tbe city. fc > e\rn YratV Incrcunn. Oborge W.

At that time it was supposed the improvement had been hungup bsciuse of the agitation growing oat of the opposi tion to the railroad's increase in switching charges. Last Saturday the county commissioners decided to submit tbe braska Central bond proposition to the voters of Douglas canntv , and it bacama manifest tbat the city oounr.il would take similar action. On Monday the Union Pa- cibc took out a bulletins : permit for the con struction of a boiler shop to cover a space of bOxi.YJ feet to cost fl-.O . The record in tbe office of the lnpscnr of buildmcs indi- rules that the s.trur.ure is to be iocateii on the northcabt corner of Tenth and Cass .streets or , more strictly speaking , where taat corner would be li tbe streets were ex tended and the map in tbe inspector's office shows tbat there is room enough on that corner without encroacbinc on Cass street The silo for the boiler shop was staued out yesterday adpinmc tbe round house , but south of that buudmp instead of west of it The new * hop will be located squarely across tbe line of Cass street and consequently ccross the proposed line of tbe Nebraska Central. The" plans filed with tbe buildinc inspector snow that tbe shop will be about fifty feet high exclusite of anv smokestack , acd the friends of the uew bridge loon upon this action of theUniou Pacific as a move in tended to obstruct the pioect _ At the oftice of the iretieral manager of the Cniou PaciQc it is maintained that this new of the matter is entirely wrong It Is asserted with emphasis that the boiler shop has been projected lor a long ume and that tbe site was selected more than a 3 ear ago , long before the Nenraka Central enterprise was broached It is explained - plained that the construction of the shop wna temporarily abandoned last winter for want of an appropriation to tnent the cost. Tnat allowance , li is slated , was made at a recent mooting of Ihe officials having aulhonlv , and the present activity is onlj the elocution of plans made many months aero At the office of the superintendent of motive power it is staled that the work of construction will bopiu as peen as the weather psrmits iind tie pushed to a speedy completion. A prominent builder remarked that ? 12OQ3 , will not build much of u boiler house if it is to cover a space sOxlHU A brick Duilding of those dimensions , with foundations for boilers and smoke stack , will cost from $4UOUJ to foO.ODO So after all the proposed boiler house is to be nothing but a cheap sbod with a big smoke stack , planted about midwav of the linn of the now bridge.
