| shows a total OF 2,64 buildings and addi-
tions. This compares favorably with last
year.

| into new hands within a week. Three of
| them have been mentioned. The fourth
transfer was consummated yesterday. Mr..
| s. L. Schoonmaker disposed of his handsome

lists, among them being Major Vogelson and
| W. W. Atchison, went down to Alabama, in
the neighborhood OF Birmingham, and
secured options on a large tract OF mineral

| summated and the propert secured. 1t has
been plotted, about $65, COO worth of lots sold.

| large manufacturing plants. Pittsburg CAPT.
| tai Is "making the mare go' in many places.
Why Owners Are Bullish.
| A prominent operator in real estate re-
nd Thor 10 hvfd tn
| quiry for property but the trouble nearly
| everywhere, and particularly in the Schen-
| ley Park district, is that tine most desirable
| properties are in large tracts and held by
| people SO financially strong tlmt they do not
care to sell at present prices. They believe
thst when the electric road gets into full
operation values will double" This state
ment fairly reflects the views of owners and
should be carefully considered by buyers
who are holding back for q reaction.
