DiacuKKton among the real estate men
as to th Commercial clubs plana for
erecting a community factory building Tor
mall manufacturing concern! Indicates a
general belief that the plan. If auccemiful,
will lead to the Increase In the number of
manufacturing concema In Omaha and a
benefit to the real est at business. What
the scheme mean for Omaha la told In
the following atatement made by Commls
Inner Ouild and Chairman Harry A.
Tukey of the real estate committee of the
club:
"Wherever a factory building haa been
constructed for the housing of a large
number of small concerns It haa proven a
good Investment for those putting their
money Into 1L In Haverhill. Mast., Cin
cinnati and other town where this has
been done, and second, third and fourth
buildings have ha1 to be put up to ac
commodate the demand for factory apace
la small units.
"If this plan go through In Omaha.
nd there ia no uncertainty about It at
the present time, It means that any
mall outfit wanting 1,000 feet of more of
pace will be provided with the same In
a strictly modern fireproof building, well
lighted and heatod, with freight and pas
senger elevator, good provision for power
t low rates, etc., located on trackage of
course, so that those needing thla facility
will have It Just where It will be Io
cs tod has not been determined, but it will
bo where most advantageous for the aver
age light manufacturer.
"At the present time many factories
re scattered around Omaha In the most
Inadequate and very often unsanitary
surroundings. The Idea waa developed
not only oa their account, but a much or
more for the newcomer who, on looking
over the city for available epace, finds
nothing that appeals to him. The result
Is he goes on to some other town and
Omaha loses a new Industry. During the
lact week we have bad a practical dem
onstration' of Omaha's need a In thla re
spect. Two hat and cap factories with
hlch the Commercial club had been
In correspondence lost no time In shipping
their goods to Omaha when Ita excellent
manufacturing and distributing facilities
were brought to their attention. With
out any formality they Just put their
turf on th cara at Bprlngfleld, Mo., and
Indlanapolla, respectively, and landed
here with their goods, looking for a loca
tion. "That was where th real estate com
mittee wa up against it. They have both
been provided for, but a factory build
itiK. built with tl Idea of getting maxi
mum facilities at a minimum rat of
rental would have appealed to these peo
ple more readily than th miscellaneous
locations shown them. It la to Omaha'
credit that factory space Is scarce, and
it Is a good advertisement for th town
to ahow that there la not an idle tmoka
tack within it limit. That I all very
veil for th man who la her, but hard
en th fellow who want to com here
end hard on th Industrial commilte to
tak ear of him whan he haa to hav
an immediate location. History has
Shown that If a man cannot get what he
wanta In a hurry, he waatea no Urn on
the ground, but goes elsewhere.
"In th other towns where such a build
ing haa been constructed, the stock haa
largely been subscribed In email amount
by people who desired a small Invest
ment In real estate In their home town.
In these cases th stock paid above th
average rat of Interest secured on build
ings, and with th basis of rentals In
Omaha, success for th building ts as
sured at th start. Th proposition, how
ever, I not dependent on these small In
vestors entirely, as several prominent
bualnes men have already signified their
willingness to tak stock In amounts of
:iiO and upwards."
' eMsajaBasa
bine th board or directors of , the
Auditorium haa offered th building to
the city at 123,000, th public ha been
given all aorta of opinions as to what th
property is worth, th estimates ranging
all th way from 1225.000 to H50.000. One
man, at a meeting of th original board
oi director last week, declared the
ground value slone worth SISC.000, a it
embrace four Tot and on lot In th
middle of th block immediately to th
wrst was sold two or thre yean ago at
f.,000. Other maintained this waa not
ood argument, for th lot that waa sold
at Hi.OOO had on It a good bulidJng that
could be utilised for general commercial
purposes, while If th Auditorium lota
wer to be used for anything but Audi
torium purposes, tee owner would be put
to th experts of removing th Audi
torium before he could make any lm
provaments. Many of th stockholders,
who have long considered their stock
subscription a gift to th city, ar now
hoping to realise 7 to "i coots oa th
dollar.
Th real estate business ha been quiet
fur th last week and la expected to con
tlnu so for another week or ten days,
due to th holidays. No real estate man
expect to do much business during th
r.oiiday season.

8 8IXTT minutes make an hour, '
o a multitude of little things,
each appropriate In Its kind
and location, make th perfect
horn. The entire planning
and designing of a home
might be treated under the head of "Th
I4ttl Things."
For example: The swinging of a door
might seem a trivial matter, to the aver.
age Homebuilding, still how often a door
hinged on the wrong aid proves an en
noyano. Doors should always swing Into
a room, In such a manner aa to permit
eelng the most of the room, when the
door la standing straight In. For example:
If a door ia cloae to a aide wall, when It
I hinged to th side nearest th wall, In
opening It, on walks Into th main part
of th room. If th knob Is on th side
nearest th wall, on see but little of th
room whoa opening It. and must go
clear around th end of th door In order
to get Into th main part of the room.
Also, th location of wall furniture.
auch a piano, davenports, beds, bureaus.
to., should be taken Into consideration,
when planning th awing of th doora
Sor thla reason, each room ehouid be
furnished In an Imaginary way on the
floor plana, before the location and
wing of doora, and the location of wall
llghte la determined, and the carpenters
hould then be carefully watched to see
that they follow the drawings.
For example: In a horn recently built,
on of th bedroom doors contained a
large mirror. - Thla door waa shown so
hinged, upon th floor plans, a to make
It impossible for It to conflict with
another door nearby. The carpenter when
putting on . the hinge thought that h
might Improve on matters by hinging th
door on th opposite side, with th re
sult that almost th first Urn th door
was opened th plat mirror struck th
knob of th other door and was shattered.
Th proper location for all kitchen
fixture and furniture Is an Important
matter, for nothing la nior annoying

sink board, by the left hand. The height
of the sink rim from the floor ia always
a hard think to determine. Thirty-four
Inches la the accepted standard, but for
a short, etout servant, this Is a little too
high. When the servant is "built for
apeed" It la a little too low. When the
wife does her own work, she should deslg.
nute the height to suit herself.
Closet seldom fare well In the plan
ning of a home. They are usually placed
In odd corners, which oould not be very
well used for any other purpose. While
It is not necessary to give them the
consideration given to the Important
living room.' still th fact should be
borne In mind,-that closets are a neces
ity and that Jt i very annoying to not
have them of sufficient Ise, location and
number to accomodate th family' needs.
Each closet should be provided with two
shelves set high, and two hook atrlps.
When a closet Is very large, a tier of
shallow drawer, four feet long. In which
to lay garments full length, and not
many garments to each drawer, Is a
splendid thing.
A unique idea to double the capacity
of a closet is to place a row of hooks
all around near the ceiling and then
fasten smooth sticks, resembling broom
Micks, to wooden hangers, so that many
garments can be hung high out of the
way, by. means of the sticks, which are
permanently fastene to each hanger.
A coat closet ehouid be provided on the
first atory, and here is an appropriate
place to have a half length mirror in the
door, for the benefit of the ladles, so thai
they will not have to put their hats on
with tho aid of reflection in the hang
pictures on the wall.

location of the sink. A good light In th

reason It should be near a window, and
th light fixture should also be where It

should be near a 'range Is obvious.. Few

years there have been a stopper sink
upon the market, making the dish pan
unnecessary, Thj stopper Is placed and
the sink Itself becomes th receptacle in
which the dliihes are washed. A sink
board on both sides of the sink is a con
venience, but space will not alway per

or left side depends upon whether the
dishwasher is rltjht or left handed. Most
people being right handed, the sink

PLUMBERS WILL HOLD
1HE CUUNI T t-uH DELAY
Notice that J. J. Hanighen & Co.,
plumbing and heating contractor on tho
new county building, will hold the county
responsible for damages suffered by rea
son of the county building dynamite ex
plosions and by reason of the general
delay of construction work waa served
on the Board of County Commissioners
In a letter from Hanighen tt CO.
In the letter Mr. Hanighen declares
that delay on construction of the build
ing caused the holding up of the plumbing
and heating work, and he wa forced to
rearrange his entire business on this ac.
count. He estimates hi damage from
the dynamite explosion at 1500 and says
the county Is responsible, for the damage
was done to work completed by him ana
approved by the architect.
Mr. Hanighen asks a settlement of hi
claims. The board will take up the mat
ter at Its committee meeting next Friday
Protest against th manner of complet
ing wood finishing in th new building
waa filed with the board by the Tri-City
district oouncil of the United Brotherhood
of Carpenters and Joiners of America.
This matter also will be taken up Fri
day. The letter says some of th work
1s of a very poor character, but ventures
the opinion this Is because of orders
given by those In charge rather than bo
cause of Incompetence of th carpenters
who ar doing th work.
