THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: MARCH 7. 1903. 7 v i ; TIMELY REAL ESTATE COSSIP Tarin Sale. Hold the Bonrdi During Week, Retching $150,000. LAJTD OF SAXUEL BEAN SOLD Byrwa B ( nna ell w Arri iet 2.mm by Rrrfltla tl'i Rl for Tracts Sear neneaelea. White city property continues to Interest the msny. undoubtedly th greatest Inter est of the w.k ha h-en in farm land, doe at home a well a out In te state. As March 1 la the bl tirre for farms to change owners and sales continue well through the month, all Irdlrations are that Varrh. l9, will be the record for lint ff farm In Douglas cuntr. The two Mary K. Efin farms w. re ao'd di ring the week by the Byron R cd com pany and brought 122.5.. The method of sale was somewhat unusual. They wre prsrtlraHy sold at auction, the agents re ceiving aealed bida.for them and "knock ing them down" to John H. Ievy. one of h old eitlaer, of Omaha, who Is not in active business, but rest at Thirty-first cr.d Mason streets. Mary E. Bean, new living In Colorado, is the widow of Pamu'l Bean. ar. old settlor of Omaha, who was a member of the firm of Bean Hottlr, n of the first grocery ftrma. located at IK'l Douglas street, and afterward a member f the firm. Orchard A Bean, carpet merchants. Th? Bean land Is located four miles west of Bennington and comprised two quarter auctions, short to the full United States quan'tty. and dviuct!n railroads and roads, about 3C0 acres, which brought fT5 per acre. The land hae been farmed many years under ten ants and la .omcwhat rough, being classed as "upland." 4 . Mr. Tvy Bold a part of the land at once to J. B. Wardell. formerly cf Bennington, buf now of Benson, and Mr. Warden aold a tract of jja land to Clans Kuehl, who will move from hia former home on the Lane Cut-off to the tract just bought and develop it. Just an evn two per acre was secured by George E. Btrfel of Wheeling. W. Va.. when he sold 1W acres of land, adjoining the Colonel Pratt farma. south of Benaing ton. for SIC.AUO. to John Kunnemann of Douglas county. Thes sales, amounting to IW.OU). helped tn swell the total for the week, which la said to be more than fl5H, PW of farm sales. eitNer sold by nr sold to Douglas count Investors. For tiiree weeks tie Omaha Real Estate exchange ha been trir.g to ifnd out Just how much Is received by the county aa taxes on mortit. Th figure haa finally been secured. The exchange says tW.OOO ia the amount. In round numbers, now paid by the holders of mortgagee In Douglas county. Then computing the amount which would be received through fee on the j ba.l. of the mor-ena-s fnd last year, the j exchange sar. t . wtM rcpreeM thej figure. To make the argument stiil more : cnrlule, the dars eouaht the amount paid In lercaster county. Mortgage hold- ' era paid 111. to the county tresu-er at Lincoln last year. Mad the mortgage filed during the year nn subjected to thej fee of of 1 p-r cent, the county Wou'd have received flS.&no. H.iw m x h more taxes would Douglas county receive on mortgage If fees were paid at the rate of "v of 1 per cnt at tbe time the Instruments were filed, than is aow receH-ed when they are taxes or when the owners dodge the aaeors. With the figures the counties are not los ing aa great an amount as it was at first supposed. The statement la frequently made by real estate dealers, citisena and taxpayers that not half the mortgages are turned in to the aeaeesor. But according to the figures secured after hard work by the real estate dealers. toug!aa county la losing about l.or per year, while the tax shirker la cheating Lancaster county of Just about U.tm. "This is bad enough." says F. D. Wead. "The fee system seems simple. It gets the money and it relieves the assessor of responsibility." 'I would rather pay the H of 1 per cent filing fees out of my commission than to be compelled to maae a list for the as sessor each year, wrestle with my con science to know Just what should really be turned in and what should be held out," says ii. A. Benson. "Xtw Tork state got I6.4on.0ri0 in fees lat year," saya C. F. Harrison. "The Minne sota supreme court has held the law col lecting fees Instead of taxea to be valid and other states are substituting the foe system. I believe It la coming in Nebraska, as this ia a progressive state." .

ClaiMs, AMhltowt, The gambrel roof baa been the moat r popiiiar style for a email cotteura for aeveraj generations. Toe first examples of this atyle are found principally in New Tork and Pennaylvania, it ha vie g been very popular with the early Dutch settlers of those states. Its cloae aaaociation with the early Dutch settlers haa given ft the somewhat misleading name of '"Dutch Colonial." many of the detalla having been borrowed from the colonial atylea of New England. The principal characteristic of the gambrel roof ia the broken gable. The roof on the lower part of the gaMee being at a much steeper pitch than the upper part. It derives the name "gambrel" from the fact that the Joint made at the Inter section of the two slants to the roof re sembles the arambrel Joint on a horse's hind leg. The roof on a rottage of this atyle haa considerable to do with the design. Many a bouse haa been given an akward appearance through an unaymmetrlcai pro portion of ita gambrel gables. There ia a certain relation of the upper alant of a gambrel gable to the lower alant. The proportion ia not governed by any aet rule, but dependa upon the designer's THE BEE'S PLAN OFFER Through a special arrangement with Mr. Clausen The Omaha Bee ia able to offer ita readers tbe complete plana, detalla and specifications of the home illustrated on this page without change for 110.

It also looks better to have the gablea a different color than the lower atory, unices the entire exterior la shingled, in which case the gablea should be stained the same aa the lower atory, but never to match the roof. Since colonial details predominate In a cottage of thla atyle the most appropriate color for the trim, the cornices, casings, porch, etc.. is white, not a pure calcimine white, but a cream white or Ivory white. The gambrel roof when used on a cottage Is usually a compromise between a story and a half and a full two-story house, with the outside walls being unbroken from foundation to the second story celling. The broad gambrel gables allow for large full helghth bed-roome and plenty of closet space very little space under the roof Is not util ised and the cost of a gambrel roofed house Is always lees than full two-story walls. Shorter studding ia used a lot, and a lot of material la not wasted In a large attic. A large attic la no objection ajd la often utilized for a billiard room, servants' room, storage, etc., but when a man hae only a small amount of money to put In his home, some of the luxuries that ar not absolutely easential to one'a happiness and comfort have to be omitted. When th building of a large home by one whose means makes the financial con sideration a secondary matter la of great Importnace, how very Important. Indeed, it la to one who has only the careful savings of many years with which to build a home. While the rich can build aa often as they pleaae, the average man builds but once. Gambrel roofs are sometimes used on top of a .full two-story house, making the house practically three stories high. While there Is some advantage in this fact where the extra space Is needed. It is not advisable fnm the standpoint of deaign The gambrel root belnn to the low col lage type of home and not to a large house. The successful planning and de signing of a gambrel roof houae is far more difficult thaa the planning and de signing of average small, straight walled, two-story houae. The gambrel roof while simple in ita appearance often presents difficult problems. The second floor plan and the design ar Inseparable whatever affects the ene decides the other. For this reaaon, the planning of a gambrel roofed house should alwaya be left to the Judg ment of One experienced In the planning of ttals style of a home for Incomptence las far aa the designing is concerned) en the part of builders is responsible for more un gainly looking houses in the style than any other. n nr?r?nn m u tit Is the ideal material for Fences.
