ALWAYS LOOKING AHEAD.
Real Estate Is Quiet, but Better
Times EXpected.

Times Expected.
The extremely hot weather and the
storms of the past week were a little too
much for the real estate business, and
not great many deals are recorded.
There has been some little trading, but
it was mainly in small residence lots
and the like. Real estate men gener-
ally are of the opinion that the ensuing
week will be a good one, and that
number of heavy deals will be consum-
mated. Prices are steady, and there is
considerable demand for desirable prop
erty. Spectators have become perma-
nent holders in many cases, so great is
their faith that they can reap a greater
'bundle' by holding on Indefinitely
than by selling at fair advance now.
The demand Tor residence property re-
mains good, and would indicate that
many new homes are being built. Many
OF these are in the suburbs, in North
and Northeast Minneapolis. The build
ing and loan associations are doing a
great deal of business, and the boards of
directors apparently have no fears of
prices going any lower, as they are
willing to advance the highest amounts
on property at all desirable, and there
is no other sort of property in Minneap-
oils.

PARK AVENUE BOULEVARD.
The Council Committee Has a
Hard Time in Finding What Is
Wantad

lard Time in Finding What Is
Wanted.
The aldermen of the Eighth and Fifth
wards met yesterday afternoon to con-
slider the petition for the widening of
Park avenue two feet on each side,
thereby making the outside boulevards
eight feet wide instead of six as at
present, and narrowing the driveway to
fifty-siX feet instead of sixty feet. The
petition for the passage of the ordinance
was signed by owners of 400 feet.
Two protests against the petition were
presented. The first came from the
owners of 4, 101 feet of property south of
Franklin avenue, and set forth that as
the houses on the avenue stand back
nearly 100 feet from the driveway the
widening of the outside boulevards
is unnecessary. The second protest
was from the owners of 3,O59 feet, who
belong to the Park Avenue association.
Z. b. Winston, who has been the prin-
cipal mover in favor of the petition.
read letter from the city engineer of
st. Paul which mentioned the width of
several avenues of that city, and advo-
Gated narrow drlye-wayS as more easily
cared for and less expensive. Summit
avenue, the handSomeSt driveway in
that city, for instance being forty-eight
feet wide, and although travelled a great
deal, no complaint has been found with
its width. Mr.. Winston also mentioned
the width of prominent streets and
avenues in Minneapolis, the average
width of which is forty feet,
is sixteen feet less than the
width advocated by the petition for
Park avenue. The present narrowness
of the outside boulevards, as being dis
astrous to the trees, was another argu-
ment he advanced. The opinion of FL
liot Wyman was quoted on this point.
A. B. Taylor, the principal spokesman
of the opposition, claimed that the trees
could be set back from the curb without
seriously injuring them. He also
claimed that many of the signers to the
petition had since changed their minds
and were now opposed to its being
granted. A general discussion fol-
lowed. and finally the committee de-
cided to refer the matter back to the
residents of the avenue to see if some
expression which would represent the
desires of the property owners gener-
ally could not be obtained.
