TIMELY REALESTATE GOSSIP
Apartment Houses Are Fast Settling
on the Old Paxton Property.
GIVES ADVICE ON APARTMENTS
C 3C. Sinter Discusses Question of
Apwtment llnlldlntr nnd 3tou
sgemrnt nt Uulldlnar Own
ers' llnnquet.
At the present time when there are so
many new apartment houses going up
in Omaha, a pteeh by K. M. Slater of
the Payne-Slater Investment oompany,
before the Omaha Building Owners' and
Usnagers' association on the subject of
Building and management of such build
ings Is quite apropos. Fur this reason
excerpts from his remarks are given:
"In my Judgment, more failures come
from a poor choice of location than from
any other source," said he. "The right
building must be located in the right
place. If you will study apartment houses
here or elsewhere, you will find In nine
cases out of every ten that the untuceeas
ful apartment house Is poorly located for
the class to which it caters. One cause for
this error is: A man has in some way
acquired a faulty piece of real estate,
which he Is unable to sell. Desiring to
Improve It. he follows the advice of
some friend, who suggests an apartment
house. Without going Into the matter
carefully or consulting people Informed
along theie lines, ho erects his building.
Probably this man would never have
built an apartment house had that
ground not been In his possession, Mii
in most cases when he gets through, h'l
has a proposition he can not properly
rent, and of course cannot sell to ad.
vantage. This man would havo been
nhead of the game, had he given the
ground away, as the money he has
planted In the building cannot, In most
cases, bo recovered.
llulld Kill)- (inoil Ones.
"Itental values lie, fU-st In location
not In urchltecturti. However, In build
ing an apartment house, build a good
one. Don't build a make-shift.
"Employ or consult a building manager.
He can tell you where to build, how to
build, what size to build, what rents you
can expect to receive, and what your
operating expense will he. He can give
you more common sense Information
than you could possibly secure yourself.
Employ an urohltect, and get a good one.
It pays In dollars and cents and pays
mg. uuy the best or plumbing. See that
your heating plant la adequate, not only
for the comfort of your tenants, who are
most critical along this line, but also for
the financial saving to you In the matter
of fuel consumption. Make your build
Ing sound proof If 'you possibly can
"The properly planned building does
not cost any moro than the faulty one.
Inside bath room, dark kitchens, waste
ful hall room and Insufficient wall space
tut come of the mistakes that your
building manager and architect can help
you to avoid.
"Today In Omaha there Is just as much
competition between apartment houses as
there Is between our leading stores and
don't forget you are . dealing with a
woman In nine cases out of ten. Vou
can't rent her a fautly apartment 'without
a reduction In price any easier than the
merchant can sell her a faulty piece of
dress goods without scaling his price.
Make your apartments as attractive as
possible. These women have lots of time
to look around, and I for one know that
they do It. They are quick to find fault
give them as little opportunity as pos
sible.
"All of this reminds me of a little In
cident that happened the other day. I
was near Twenty-fourth nnd Harney
streets and there encountered a young
lady friend who was accompanied by a
small dog. As I drew near the dog be'
gan to wag his tall vigorously, I re
narked to that friend, 'Why, Mabel, your
dog wags his tall up and down.' 'Yes,'
she replied, 'He has to since we moved
Into the new apartments. Poor Kldo
hasn't room to wag It any other way.' "
"Place your building In the hands of a
competent building manager or look after
it yourself, but don't leave It to the Jani
tor. Imagine a large corporation owning
n plant worth J100.000 turning It over to
the office boy to manage. It would fie
just as reasonable to expect the office
boy to make a success of your building.
"Don't forget that someone who knows
how has to secure you the proper kind
of tenants. Ict the underslrable class get
in and you lose on of two things your
building's reputation or your rent, pos
sibly both.
"ItememTJer It Involve some diplomacy
and some tact to handle tenants. It you
have a good tenant be liberal 4ji your
treatment of him. If he wishes a room or
two redecorated, or makes some other
moderate request, be reasonable about It
Don't be a grouch, Iletter to spend a
little money now and then keeping your
tenants satisfied than to spend the same
money trying to convince the readers ot
the newspapers that your vacant apart
ments are the most desirable ones to be
had."
Ilulldluir t'mtun vourt.
Paxton courtwlll soon be the apartment
house center of Omaha, l'luns for three
such structures ore now being drawn by
architects. Hastings & Heyden will build
one containing seYen apartments ot five
rooms each and costing J2S.60O. Detective
J. T, Donohoe will build a pr.OX) apart
ment house containing twenty apart
ments. Mrs. John J, Donohoe, widow ot
the late Chief of Police Donohoe, Is hav
ing plans drawn also.
The police took him to St. Joseph's hos
pltal, where he suffered a great deal
with chills.

SOME STILL USE PARCEL
POST FOR PERISHABLES
Not all people have yet learned that
certain articles of food are perisnable
while In transit under the parcel put.
This was evidenced at the local posto'five
when seven pounds of fish, nicely dre3Jod
and cleaned, but spoiled, had to be cost
Into the furnace because the plerks cjjH
no longer handle them.
When a parcel smells so strong that the
railway mall clerks can no longer endure
It the parcel Is turned In at the nearest
railway mall headquarters. The wrapper
Is saved for future reference, and tho
contents are chucked Into a furnace jr
somewhere where they can no 'onger el-
find anyone. The "nixie" department In
the postofflce, which Is the department
that handles all parcels not properly ad
dressed and with no' return card, has
been rapidly Increasing Its collection sin .c
the Inauguration of the parcel post. A
can of "chloken and chestnuts" rests In
the "nlxle" department at present. It
comes from Shanghai, China, Is addreivd
to no one and bears no return card the
only thing that brought it to Amurloo,
apparently. Is the fact that !t w.is
stamped with American stamps, 17 cents'
worth. Just what a mixture ot chloc-m
and chestnuts Is the "nlxle" department
is at a loss to know, hut they have con
jectured It might be a delicious devil kI
dish that would be worth trying.
