REALTY AND BUILDING.
A Real Estate Exchange Needed in
Fort Worth.
A House RuIlding syndicate-The Time to
Get q City Park-More Good
sidewalks Needed.
A REAL ESTATE EXCHANGE.

scores Of sales will be made daily. In
selling and buying real estate many ques-
tions arise which should be settled by
some body having authority in the mat
ter. Fort Worth needs and should have
o real estate exchange. Not only could
such body do much TO aid agents, but
it could do q vast amount of good for the
| city. The real estate men should do
| considerable amount of advertising for
the city, and by organization they could
| do 1t in q systematic manner. There is
work in abundance for the real estate
| men to do, and the sooner q real estate
| exchange is organized the better it will
| be for agents, owners and the city. Let
| the real estate men act promptly in the
| matter.
BUILDING SYNDICATE.
1t is suggested that q syndicate of
owners of real estate and capitalists be
| formed to build houses and sell them TO
| those who want homes. A plan mapped
| out is for men who have additions or
tracts of land in the city to unite with
men who have ready money, the one
| party to place tair figures on the prop
erty to the company and the other party
| to place lowlrate of interest on the
| money. Then build houses on the lots
| and sell house and lot to the home seeker
on monthly payments with ! or per
cent. interest. Several gentlemen who
have thought it out, say there is profit in
such plan as we'll as benefit to the city,
MORE SIDEWALKS.
The result of the passage by the city
| council of an ordinance requiring side
walks to be built on Main, Houston and
fy,to
| ing, causing as it did several miles of
| sidewalks to be built. 1t is time the
scope of the ordinance was enlarged and
sidewalks ordered built on other streets.
Fort Worth has excellent streets, but
needs miles of good sidewalks with the
good streets. On some residence streets
| the walks are verv bad, being simply
black mud piled up four feet wide.
Good sidewalks should be the cry for the
next three months.
NOTES OF PROGRESS.
The Masonic orders in Fort Worth are
discussing the erection of the finest Ma
sonic temple in the South. The Masons
| own a fine piece of property on Main
street and the organization is the wealth.
lest in Fort Worth. There is every rea-
son to believe q seventy-flve feet front
five story building will replace the
building recently burned.
With $50 feet front of new brick and
stone buildings in course of construction
Fort Worth is doing very well this beau
tiful September weather.
Work is now being pushed on the First
Presbyterian church. The frame work
for the roof is now going up.
Four residences to cost S2500 apiece
will be built on Hemp hill street.
Broadway is nearing completion.
Stone and brick for the cotton mill will
be on the ground inside of thirty days.
Cannot Fort Worth build grand expo
sition and music hall and auditorium? 1t
would be worth thousands to the city.
The fall and winter season is a good
time to do work on land bought for
city park. Land about Fort Worth is
getting higher, and a park has not been
bought yet. Alderman Jones can tell
the council what beauty spot Hyde
park could be made if laid out after the
order of the Alamo Plaza, San Antonio.
