KANSAS CITY MAN
SPEAKS BEFORE
OMAIIAREALTORS
Fredric Sharon Tells of Prog
ress Made by Real Estate
Men of Missouri
City.
Omaha real estate men enjoyed a
visit during the week from Fredric
C .Sharon of Kansas City, vice presi
dent of the National Realty Associ
ates. He was a Ruest of the Omaha
Real Estate board at the noon meet
ing last Wednesday at the Omaha
Chamber of Commerce. He told the
board of the thiiiRS the Kansas City
board has accomplished, particularly
in the matter of being recognized as
official appraisers for the county and
city. He said the board also has been
recognized as the official appraiser for
all trustee and referee sales. Ap
praisers were formerly appointed by
the district judges and this was con
sidered unsatisfactory, as men were
sometimes appointed who were not
well enough versed in real estate val
ues to be competent appraisers.
The Omaha Real Estate board has
made progress in the way of getting
more and more of the important ap
praisal jobs in the city. For some
years the board has maintained an ef
ficient 'appraisement committee and
has pushed" hard for business, until
today the standing of the appraisal
department of the Omaha Real Es
tate board is more than 100 per cent
better in the community than it was
up to three or four years ago.
During Wednesday afternoon the
Omaha real estate men went to Coun
v cil Bluffs in a body, where thev had
been invited by. the board of that
city. They took their Kansas City
guest along and In the Bluffs were
met by the real estate men, who took
them around the city in automobiles.

lows gave the Omaha men a banquet
at Eagles' hall, where good fellowship
flowed as wine used to flow in the

Colonel Nance is Pleased
At Prospect of Improvements
Colonel J. T. Nance, commandant
at the Fort Omaha balloon school, an
nounces that he has been officially in
formed that the project for enlarging
the school has been approved.
"I cannot say when active construc
tion will begin," said Colonel Nance,
"but I trust that it will be immedi
ately. The project calls for the build
ing of temporary mess halls, baths and
toilets to accommodate the men who
wjll be housed in tents. The tents
will be floored.
"The buildings will be erected on
Florence field and we expect them to
be large enough to care for six ad
ditional balloon companies. The ac
commodations 'should care for be
tween 2,000 and 2,400 men."
It is understood at Fort Omaha
that men have been ordered -to fill
up the vacancies made by the depar
ture of balloon squadrons who have
completed their training, but nothing
definite is known of the time they
will be ordered to report. In all
probability they will consist of na
tional army men now in cantonments.
