REAL ESTATE NEWS.

Inc HrSb DlOcK OF mQla08r AEaS s1oiAo Wtetf
which the new City Hall is to be constructed
was set on the water table at the Henderson
street end yesterday.
Dealers are reporting increased demands
for small houses in all parts of the city.
The old r. H. O'Neill Association contem-
plates changing its quarters. 1t is under
stood that the Mckenzie house, at Nc. 46
Mercer street, Is to be the new club house.
The objection to the Newark avenue rooms
is they are too public. Like all good demo-
Gratis the boys want to take a back seat for
a little while.
Real estate dealers are making an unusu-
ally large number of private sales this
year.
A noticeable thing about the transfers
being recorded at Register Fielder's office is
that the consideration for valuable tracts IN
many case is 81 or 500, and occasionally
$500. The reason for this is believed to be a
sly little trick to get ahead of tax assessors.
The scheme has been resorted to, particu-
larly since the Tax Commissioner declared
their intention of keeping on file in their
Office a set of books in which would be re-
corded every transfer recorded in the Regis
ter'S office. Such Information it was be-
lieved would facilitate the levying of assess
mentS. Since purchasers have realized that
it enabled the board to levy a tax to the
amount they had paid, they have restorted
to the 81 love and affection subterfuge so as
to not disclose the cost price Of their realty.
1t is a clever trick. but the Tax Commission
ers "are on"
The Real Estate Trusts Company's offers
for this week excel any offered for a month
past. President Frank Stevens always has
desirable property on the market.
Emmons 81 Co. still want a purchaser for
that elegant property at No. SO Jewett ave-
nue.. 1t is useless for contemplating buyers
to wait for a lower price or the offer OF
easier terms. Emmons q Co. don't do bust
ness that way. They ask $500 down and $50
per month. No better inducements can or
viii be offered.
Real Estate Dealer Lewis E. Wood will
sell to the highest bidder on Wednesday
next the three houses and lots of the John
McKenna estate situated at Monmouth and
First streets. The streets surrounding the
property are paved and severed. The houses
are in good order and undoubtedly bring
good prices. Lewis E. Wood never allows
property to be sacrificed nor does he extor6
high prices from spectators.
G. G. Jewell & Co. have a revised list OF
houses to rent and sell. There is anything
from woodsheds to brownstone fronts in
their charge. They are skillful, enterpris-
ing dealers. Spectators can be accommo-
dated with any kim of property desired.
The old Fleming building, at Washington
and Montgomery streets, IS to lose its tele-
phone occupants. The central office is to be
established at Bay and Erie streets. All the
central office girls are to wear black dresses
of a uniform pattern.
Greenville property owners and owners in
the northern section of the city are begin
ming already to complain about the water.
They say that it is dirty and unfit to drink.
Property owners in the vicinity of Grove
and Wayne streets have learned that George
B.. De Revere contemplates opening a saloon
in the building formerly occupied by Law
erty & Co. A healthy remonstrance will
undoubtedly be presented against the grant
ing of an ordinance on the ground that there
are enough saloons in the neighborhood to
supply the thirst of people.
