T1MEL REAL ESTATE GOSSIP
Exchange to Take Up Gas Bond Issue
Wednesday.
RECORD PRICE PAD) FOR LOT
Trwt at TKIrty-Nlath Harnrr
"vlls for 99,000, Highest Prloe
Ever Paid for a Rraldenea
Lat In Omaha.
When the Omaha Real Estate exchange
meeta Wednesday It will stamp with ap
proval or disapproval the proposed bond
issues of the city of Omaha. Indications
are that the members will disapprove the
Issue, the purchase of gas plant or to
furnish funds for the city to Install a sys
tem. The only member who spoke on the
bond Issues at ths meeting last Wednesday
was George M. Nattlnger, secretary of the
Omaha Loan and Building association. He
declared that he was opposed to the whole
Issus. Other members believed the bonds
for a gas plant were to be voted simply us
a club to purchase the present gas system,
and they opposed such an Issue of bonds.
In times past the endorsement of the Real
Kstate exchange of Omulia carried consid
erable weight Recognising that the action
of the exchange will have some Influence
on the vote, a committee has been ap
pointed to go over the question of bond Is
sues and report at ths meeting Wednesday.
The exchange will act on the proposition
after hearing a full report.
Mer D. C. Bradford purchased ths resl
de'iift lots of W. Farnam Smith at Thirty
ninth and Harney streets for 19,000, the
highest price ever paid in Omaha for - -residence
lot was recorded. The lots r
cured by Mr. Bradford ars 93x165, maktt
the price 1most S100 per front foot for tl
ninety-three-foot fi'ontage. In proport!
to the distance from the business dlstr
of Omaha lots In some of the largest citli
-of the I'nited States are not selling fo
more.
"tin
lany of Hie antl-annexatlonists o-
South Omaha are troubling themse lvr
needlessly about the question pf real estate
values being affected should that city be
come a part of Omaha," said a real estat,
dealer who has holdings In South Omahn
"Th fact of the matter Is that It Is bos'
about real estate values being affected- I
they are disturbed at all It will be to mak
South Omaha real estate more valuable.
But at that Omahans own a large part o'
the real estate of South Omaha. If they
f'hoonirt to boost to havs their own holdlngf
affected It is their right, and should there
be a loss It will fall pn. Omahans i-it
hard as It will on owners In South Omaha
As for ths real estate men, I believe they
are for the annexation. This seems to be
the sentiment In both cities."
Buying for Improvement and not for
speculation. Is the spirit which prompted
soma forty purchasers to Invest In Omahn
real estate, located in the New Dundee
addition, which has been opened by Oeorge
. tt Co. Following an auction sale of lots
In the addition last week, a number have
sines purchased lots of the company. In
disposing of tho property at prices rang
ing from $475 to tt'50 the company has sold
largely to parties intending to build homes
at once. Ixits have been sold at low
prices to those who Intend to build at once,
while In almost every sale the real estate
firm has eeoured an agreement that homos
will be built early next year. This has
assurred an Improved addition to the city
of considerable slie. Several residences
are now under construction In the new
adltlon, ranging In price from $3,500 to
$6,000.
Real estate dealers are much Interested
In the brick veneered residence, which are
being built in various parts of the city.
The new home of F. H. Knapp on the
boulevard terraces, Thirty fifth street and
Poppleton avenue, which Is to cost $10,000,
is one home which Is attracting -considerable
attention.
Flats are becoming more popular as an
Investment. Within the last week several
choice pieces of property have changed
hands, Including the double brick flat at
Twenty-first and Erskine streets, which
have been purchased by Jewell & Phannlx.
Sam Adler has purchased lots at Thirty
eighth and Farnam streets, where he will
build flat buildlnKB costing $'J0.00O to $,000.
Hastings & 1 ley den are planning a num
ber of St. Louis flats on Sherman avenue,
while a new row of the St. Louis style
Hals are to be erected by M. K. White
on lots at Twenty-second and Douglas
streets. Oeorge & Co., sold the lots for
Mr. White's flats. .
Charles S. Hoxle has sold two small
lots between Twenty-fourth and Twenty
fifth streets on Hamilton to Benjamin
Shafton for $2,60U. The lots will be Im
Sir Horace Plunket of Dublin, Ireland,
as gone west to look over his holdings,
reeling to return to Omaha next week
"hough Sir Horace has not made doflnlte
'ans for further Investments in Omahu
e has a number of propositions under
onsldoratlon, and may decide to do some
'nportant building before he rrturns to
reland. Not later than a week from Wed
eiiduy he expects to address the Omaha
teal Kstate exchange.
Slowly but surely the Omaha Real Ks
ate exchangu has eliminated many unde
irable dealers from the fields In Omalia
nd has ceased to get. new members. "The
-xchaiige has become a safeguard,'' said a
nemboiN this week, "and while member
ship in It does not guarantee, horn sty und
Integrity, It Is a good thing for customers:
to know that the exchange does not ap
prove of the slightest bit of deception,
such as putting fraudulent figures In a
deed, which becomes a mattero reeord.
In the days of cut-throat competition
stage lines are said to have advertised free
transportation with one meal a day thrown
In. Now and then the real estate men are
temlnded of those times by the activities
of a new real estate Arm, which drops In
and opens big offices with a flourish of
trumpets and a sound of horns. Com
panies will start to furnish the houses
they sell sometimes, but all this startling
stuff Is not good business, and Is usually
an Indication that some stranger Is long
on suburban real estate and has to unload
a purt of It regardless of cost. The ex
change alms to keep up the tono of the
business, and usually the members of It
are sound business men."
"Never touched us," said Mr. Hastings
of Hastings & Heyden In sceaking of the
flurry In the eastern financial circles. "Let
them take their money out of the bunks i
and invest In real estate. More Inquiries J
are coming In now for- Omaha real estate
than for years. People may be afraid of I
the banks, but they are not afraid of real
estate r. Omaha,"
A little row at meters over the doors
In the Paxton bluck tells an Interesting
story of the things which building manag
ers are learning In Omaha. And It Is
all said to have happened In the most sim
ple way. A manager In one of the big
office buildings, where light Is furnished,
strolled Into the office of a new tenant.
All lights were turned on, although the
tenant was wrapped In thought and not
even using one light. No customers were
In sight and the manager addressed the
new tenant:
-"Nice, light suite of rooms you have
here, said the manager, taking an Inven
tory of the place, as though It was strange
to him, "Must cost yod quite a little sum
for electricity alone?"
"Oh, ws have to keep up appearances,"
said the tenant. "Never do, you know, to
have people coming In and finding the
place dark. They would think we were
not doing business. Pays to keep up busi
ness, to be sure."
"On a meter?" Inquired the manager.
"No, no, of course not," replied the
tenant. "Building pays for It certainly.
Could not afford to do It ourselves."

MAYOR EXPECTS MORE CALLS
Looklnar for Demand for Sabbath Ob
errance, bat Hopln It Will
Net Come.
Mayor Pahlman is expecting a notice
from someone that he will be expected to
enforce the law requiring the observance
of the Sabbath day, and he says that he
isn't at all pleased with the prospect, be
cause If such notice is served he will be
con polled to act, as he did In the matter
of the removal of screens from windows,
and he places himself on record as unalter
ably opposed to the enforcement of such
laws.
Contrary to the general impression, the
state law Is not so drawn as to Include all
forms of business and trade In the prohi
bition against operation on Sunday. Its
terms expressly exclude the operation of
trains, of movers, of traveling and labor
of necessity or eharlty, aa-wall as speci
fically excluding frou--tts" terms all persons
who observe the "seventh day of the week
as the Sabbath. Under the well established
rule of law that an act enumerating a num
ber of pursuits as prohibited on Sunday
does not cover pursuits not so enumersted
there la a question whether theaters come
under the terms of the stats law, slnos
they are not specially mentlo.-d in the list
which Includes (.porting, hunting and fish
ing, together with a number of other
things.
Referring to the probability of being com
pelled to enforce this law, the mayor said:
I have heard It rumor?d that at least two
Interests Intend to demand the enforcement
of the Sunday law by me. I hope they will
not do It, for If I am compelled to do so i !
certainly will close everything which comes
under the terms of the law, and courts may
be compelled to determine Just what Is
meant by the words 'necessity and charity.'
I will not be able to enforce the law in
part, for what some persons might regard
as suitable occupations to bs followed on
' Sunday others would And as objectionable
: as any and so all would be compelled to
stand or fall together."

Westers In ton.
Locsl Manager Uinstead of the Western
fnlon Telegraph comjiany reports that con
ditions are now nearly normal ell over
the country, so nearly to that the "sub
ject to delay" order on messages, which
was put Into effect Immediately after the
strike began, was withdrawn Saturday all
over the country.
Locally, he says, conditions are per
fectly normal. The apartments which have
been maintained at the Millard hotel for
the women operators during ths strike in
order to have them close to their work and
free from possible Interference, have been
closed. The kitchen, dining room and
sloeplng apartments which have been mt'ii
talned on the top flour of the Omahu
National Bank building for the accommo
dation of the women operators, were all
cloned Saturday and the help that was kept
to run them was paid off and discharged.
Since the strike the Western Union has
served In Its dining room in the Omaha
National Bank building twenty-five break
fasts, seventy-five noon lunches and the
same number "of dinners dally. Twenty
employes have occupied ths sleeping apart
ments each night. Mr. Vmstead reports
that one-half of the force that went out on
the strike art now back at work and others
have signified their Intention of coining
into ths fold In ths near future.
