The board believes this proposed law will enable the city commission to improve older sections of the city so they will correspond to up-to-date residence additions that have been developed recently by real estate men. 'This bill leaves the majority in power over all public improvement matters," Chairman Morton of the board's legislation committee said. "But it will prevent ont-of-town owners of Omaha property from holding up public improvements wanted by those here. "Inside sections of the city shouhi be as good as those on the out side. This will enable the city to bring about that condition." New Structure Going Up to House the Simon Bros. Grocery Firm A deal was closed last week whereby Edgar L. Means of Orleans, Neb., will build a new six-story building, to cost $175,000, for the Simon Bros. Grocery company. The new building will be at the northeast corner of Eleventh and Dodge streets, site of the. present Roma hotel. The old hotel building will be razed at once and work on the new structure wll be started within a month. The Simon structure will be 99x120 feet, and will contain a full basement in addition to the six stones ffbove the ground. J There will be 83,160 square feet ol floor space m the new building, all of which will be occupied by Simon. Present plans call for the cotnple tion of the building by September 15, this year. The Simon concern is only five years old. It started in Omaha, with maha capital. 1 ne iirm oi uiuvcr at opaui iicru- tiated the deal whereby the building will be erected.

"Since repairs are so much higher, the owner must receive more rent." "In a rprpnt hiillptin nnhlished and sent out over the United States by the Alexander Hamilton institute, a list of some 30 to 40 different items that enter into living ex penses, were mentioned. In this bulletin it was shown that rent has advanced only 10 per cent, while, the next lowest advance was 30 per cent, and from that on up to 100 per cent." ERNEST A. COTTMIRE Ernest A. Cottmire, well-known locally, has been discharged and has returned to his former position-as doorman at Burgess-Nash company. Mr. Cottmire enlisted and was sta tioned at Fort Crockett, Galveston Tex., for a number of months, when he was sent overseas and was with expeditionary forces seven months, being in the St. Mihiel, Argonne and Meuse sectors. Realtors on Record Favoring Bonds for Paving County Roads The Real Estate board last week endorsed the proposed $3,000,000 bond issue for paved roads in Doug hs county with the provision that the amount to be paved not be specified. The board recommended that all roads paved in Douglas county be of vitrified brick on a concrete base of from five to six inches, thick. The board's good roads committee said the proposed $3,000,000 bond Is sue will not pave the 101 3-4 miles that the county'commissioners have laid out, if the-pavement is of brick. For this reason, the board doesn't want any designation of the amount to be paved until it is determined how many' miles the bond issue will pave with brick . The road committee, of which L. C. Sholes is chairman, believes in ferior roads will result if an effort s made to paVe 101 miles with ?3,000,000.

Hall, Omaha "boy," who gained fame as a bicyclist many years ago, and who since has gained fame and fortune ' as an animal painter, visited his Omha friends yesterday. He has been painting prize stock in Iowa during the last fgw weeks. Hi painted "Mabel Jumbo," a prize boar, owned by Hassler and Hal ford at Manning, la. This is said to be the largest animal of the swine family in the world. He has also painted prize stock for S. J. Sher man of Ruthland, la. Exhibited in London. Some of Mr. Hall's animal paint ings have been sent to London, England, for exhibition. He states that if he could feel that he had gained a sufficient competence painting commercial pictures, he would spend the rest of his days painting wild animals, for that is where his heart is. He made a trip to the Andes in South America and while steaming across the highest lake in the world he had an op portunity to sketch a group of wild deer in the most picturesque back ground imaginable. s On another outing he was on a steamer plying between Alaska and Siberia, and while on that trip had the good fortune to observe two polar bears in deadly combat over a dead seal which the weaker of the bears had slain. Uses Field Glass. Through a field-glass he was able to draw a realistic sketch, which he completed at his convenience. "The larger bear watched the smaller animal kill the seal and then pounced upon its rival to gain pos session of the coveted food," re lated Mr. Hall. . "It was a terrific struggle, but of Course the larger bear was the victor." v - v- Great Increase Shawn in .
