V
Merriam Block
Rents Boosted
By 100 Per Cent
Drastic Increase May Force
One of Largest Bluffs Stores
To New Location Across
River in Omaha.
The new owners of the Merriam
block have notified all their tenants
that a sharp raise of rentals has been
determined upon, to become enec
tive some time after July 1. In some
instances the increase will exceed 100
per cent.
The buildiiif? was sold several
weeks ago to the Wallace Benja
min Real Estate company, and al
though no deed has yet been placed
on record it is understood that the
price was around $70,000. A state
ment made some time ago by Mr.
Benjamin was that the purchase had
been made for himself and his clients.
The only client so far mentioned is
Dr. Harry Boyne.
Has Double Frontage.
The building has a double fron
tage, more than 200 feet each on
Main asd Pearl streets, in addition
to 120 feet frontage on Willow ave
nue. The ground floors are all oc
cupied for commercial purposes,
nearly half of the building by the
Petersen-Schoening Hardware and
Furnishing company. The second
and third floors are all occupied by
professional people for offices, with
several large apartments used for
the halls of fraternal organizations.
L. C. Brackett, who has occupied
the store room near the north end
of the building for many years for
his bookstore, has been notified that
his rent will bo raised from $40 a
month to $110. Other tenants have
been advised of similar increases. The
office of Secretary K. ri. Williams
of the school board, which comprises
one of the main floor rooms and
used also for storage of supplies by
the board, will feel the same impulse.
May Move to Omaha.
It was stated yesterday that the
Petersen-Schoening company, one of
the largest commercial enterprises in
the city, may refuse to comply with
the demand and may accept the
proffer of a new location in Omaha.
Theodore Peterson, manager of the
company, would not deny yesterday
when questioned that the company
was considering removal to Omaha.
The company now has a branch
store in South Omaha which is
rapidly growing into a big commer
cial success, and the whole business
could be managed much better it
the central store was removed to
Omaha.
The Merriam block, three stories
and basement, was built in 1886 by
Nathan Merriam of Omaha. He paid
the Catholic church people $25,000
for a portion of the site, and the
building when erected in the era of
low prices cost around $150,000. The
fact that it was out of the main trade
center has kept down rentals of the
nearly score of main floor business
rooms, but its owner never complain
ed of the income returned upon his
investment. There have very rarely
been any vacant rooms on any of
the floors. The increase of rent will
affect more than 50 tenant.
Alleged Boxcar Robber
Held on Booze Charge
Max Tobar, Mexican, whose home
at 1621 Fifteenth avenue, was raided
by officers looking for booze, and a
quantity of stuff found believed to
have been stolen from merchandise
cars, was not held on the larceny
charge when arraigned before Justice
Hollis Saturdav, but he was required
to furnish a-bond of $750 on the
liquor charge.
The officers seized five gallons of
; compounded "hootch," 28 bottles of
home brew and a gallon and a half
of alcohol. Impossibility of identi
fying the goods alleged stolen pre
vented pressing the larceny charge.
Among the stuff was 10 dozen spools
of white thread, seven cartoons of
camel cigarets and one dozen new
shirts, none of a size to fit Tobar
or his boys
Confessed Thief Sent
Back to Jail for Mouth
After spending all the time in the
county jail after his arrest on May
2 for looting rooms at 246 Vine
street, George Alton was brought in
to district court yesterday by Coun-
ty Attorney Swanson and given 30
days more on his plea of guilty when
arraigned before Judge Wheeler.
A lot 6i barber tools and a camera
were among the things stolen, all
valued at $30, but when it was dis
covered that the camera was not
stolen on the same date the other
stuff was taken, the charge of grand
larceny could not be sustained. He
was then permitted to plead guilty
to the minor charge.
Martin Damian, arrested on June
7 by Special Officer Dunn in the
Northwestern railroad yards, armed
with a loaded .32-caliber revolver,
' entered a pica of guilty to the charge
of carrying concealed weapons and
was fined $50 and costs by Judge
Wheeler.
