THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE; DECEMBER 30 1917. A. CIVIC A CTIVITIES OF OMAHA FOR YEAR REVIEWED RETAIL STORES REPORT BANNER YEARFOR TRADE Omahans Buy Substantial Mer chandise Despite War Prices; Cheap Things . Go Begging. : Every month of the year 1917. with ihe possible exception of November, showed aiflncrease in volume of re- . tail business done in Omaha over the corresponding month the previous year. The business during October vas as good a any October Omaha lias had in Its history, and some of ,, the retailers are inclined to say that it was ine-Dcsi joocr lor rciaii , business the city has ever had. This they attribute to the fact that a cold snap came in Octobe. and ' caused people to rlish for colthing and shoes. The reverse was true in November. which was an exceptionally mild ' month. Thus, Uiose who needed fall and winter clothing ' had rushed to the stores and supplied themselves during thctold spell of October and found themselves provided for in No . vember, particularly since the month -- . was mild. ,.'. j . The Dfccmber business, however, the retailers say, was unqucstiona ' ably tUfi greatest December business the city hasvyet enjoyed. Not only tiiis, but the merchandise sold was of a more stable character than in past years. People were not seeking the cheap things in merchandise.; They were looking for substantial goods and they insisted upon it Many of the clerks have reported that very ... frequently when they showed a man a suit-lie insisted upon a $30 or $40 suit, and whenMhey showed a man a $1S; suit he insisted upon a S-'o suit. ' : . , v .'.. . Prices Were Hif her, ' It is true that most 'merchandise sold at a higher figure this year than last. Brit this, the retailers say, will . by tio means account for the increase in the volume of business done in .dollars and cents. ? i Big retailers of the city estimate . the retail business of Omaha for the :ntirc year will run 20 to 22 per cent ihead of last year. One .of the big ' department store merchants, says' his business ran 35 per cent over the volume of last year, and be confessed that he himself was .astonished when the books were opened to him reveal . ing such a volume. t ' - -- , - The shoe business ran ahead of last ' year in dollars atyl , cents. Here, perhaps, thcorice has advanced dur ing theyear enqugli to swell consid erably the total volume of monev taken in, even though the amount of ' goods turned had been the same as last year. However, dealers are free to say that theV turned in more goods aivd the business has been highly sat isfactory. 7 . , In the Jewelry line the retail busi v ness has run far ahead of last' year, .Diamonds were wortf in demand than 'ever before, despite all the talk of conservation. Wrist watches for sol- dicrs and bracelet watches for the ladies were among'the most popular articles in this line. Biggest Year in History of ' County C!.:k's Office Reported ( The annual, report of County Clerk Dewey shows the greatest volume f business in the history of the office. The surplus fees turned in are notice ably the largest of any previous year. The best business barometer in the city; Dewey maintains, is the number of chattel mortgage and sales con- tracts with the amount of money in volved filed during the year," These filings indicate money transactions. When times are -good the chattel " mortgages and sales increase and de crease in hard times. In 1917 the'.rec- ord was broken by the filing of 8.182 chattel mortgage and sales contracts involving sales etjual to $18,443,843. During the bad times of 1897-8 the mortgages ran as low as $150 to $200 a month. In 1916 only 6,921 of these transactions were recorded. -.- -- The report shows 1,251 municipal and school bonds recorded, 291 bills of sale, 2,950 chattel mortgages, 5,377 sates contracts; 304 incorporation. 19 partnership agreements, 272 notary " ,-public licenses, 43 physicians licenses. 104 nurses' licenses, seven dentists' licenses, three s osteopaths, 24 em - balmers, 60 commission merchants'. - bonds, one license for a veterinary surgeon, seven powers of attorney, ' i wo licenses ;or optometry, 84 alcohol permits, 1,500 game licenses and 21 licenses to sell explosives issued dur ing the year 1917. , Contagious Diseases ; Show 50 Per Cent Increase , Atr increase of m,or.. than 50 per ' cent is .noted in the .nunber of con- Jagtpus diseases reported during 1917. , This increase has been most marked in the smallpox situation which has been acute during the last , few ! months, particularly in the South Side, Measles and, chickenpox also have increased considerably. : . - . The large total shown for scarlet ,'iever cases n mt was due to an epidemic, wliiclv was abated during the early part of this year. It Is noted that scarlet fever has decreased nearly 50 per cent, comparing 1916 with 1917. -v.-,- There were 23, cases of poliomye litis (infantile paralysis), which was ,ar increase, but comparatively small in view of the conditions in some cities where this terrible disease pre vailed. -, . , . , T -- .' -, HIT.

The past year was to have been a notable one in the church building line. At the beginning of the year many new structures were contem plated, but owing to the declaration of war, immediately followed by a raise in price' of building materials, many were postponed indefinitely. Construction of the new ( Central Congregational church, which was to have been erected this year at a cost of $150,fXK). has been out off until after the war. Westminster Fresbf- terian church wijl not be built Jhis year owing to the war.' ; nans have been prepared- for the rarxvaie rresDyterian cnurcn at a cost of $30,000, of which $10,000 has been expended foi"the erection of a commodious Sunday school, and the church will probably be erected some time this year. . : St. Cecilia's cathedral is nearly completed, but it will be some time vet before it is finished, although it has been used for services for over a year. The estimated cost of the edi fice originally was $350,000, but owing to the advances in material $500,000 will have been expended before the cathedral is completed. , . 1 St. Peter's Catholic church is now in t the course of construction at Thirty-second and Pacific streets, like wise the First Unitarian church at Turner boulevard and Harney street. The Second Church of Christ, Scientist,-which planned to build a new church -during 1917, will erect a $60,- uuu Duilding at rorty-tirst and Daven port streets,' r . A new building was planned for St. Andrew's Episcopal church for 1917, but war conditions prevented. How ever, $5,000 was sacnt in .enlarging and improving the old structure after moving it from Forty-first and Charles streets to Forty-sccond and Hamilton streets. ; ; ... ,'. - - v. , ,n " : ' ..; : ' .-.-' V'-'-v , : (, : :-,'; ; ;:; ;",:: ' ..- :': . - ', . .... , Let us resolve during the coming year to give the automobile' fair and just consideration.
