place in the real estate market during the
week Prices are well maintained and in
many instances are being advanced as last
as the term of listing expires Money Is
flowing in for investment in real properly
and daily the market is becoming strong, so
that those who Judge of what is coming oy
that which is, have no hesitancy in express
Ing the opinion that we are likely to have one
of the most active years in real estate that
we have ever experienced. The acre tracts
between the two cities are more sought after
than any other property. Lots IN west 81.
Paul and on Daytons bluff are also in good
demand, and for some reason the acre lots
long way out on Rice street are COM
ing to be desirable. There is
good demand in all parts of the city.
THE PooRHoUsE.
The committee on the poor farm of the
county commissioners has under considera-
ton some new propositions in regard TO tne
matter of locating and constructing poor
house The matter has taken no dehnlte
form as vet, for the reason that the members
of the committee have held no formal meet
ing to consider the matter. Some OF the
commissioners have doubts as to the proprl-
ety of locating it on the Como park property,
for the reason that they believe there is
good deal of objection to this in the minds of
the people They also regard the surface of
the ground as not at all suitable for purposes
of poorhouse; besides this they do not Ike
the idea of locating such an institution there
anyway. Without attempting to state
just what it is proposed to do, it
may be said in a general way
that at present the proposition to purchase
tract of land suitable for a poor house and
thereon erect building for the poor OF the
county is looked upon favorably. Some OF
the commissioners think it would be better
10 take part of the s25, 900, the proceeds OF
the bonds authorized to be issued for
poor house, and buy piece of ground and
erect upon it a suitable building. Some
provision will have to be made for the ac-
commodation Of the poor Immediately, as the
state fair people will want the poor farm as
soon as spring opens, by which time the
poor must be moved elsewhere.
