Past Week
BROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS
Development IN fne Residence
Sections
& Building Permits Issued During
the Past Week

The real estate market during the past
week has been quiet and comparatively
featureless. There have been quite
number of transfers of business property
and the sale of residence lots for building
purposes remains good. The daily vol
ume of business has ranged about the
same as during the week previous, the
largest single transaction being the trans
fer of the lot OH North Main street, adj
joining Turnverein hall, between Third
and Fourth streets, from Samuel Meyer
to Johanna Meyer, the consideration be-
ing $50, 600.

The work of excavating for the new
block OF Nolan & Smith at the southeast
corner of Broadway and Second street,
has commenced, and will be pushed as
rapidly as possible. Good progress is be-
ing made on the brick block at the south
west corner of Broadway and Fourth
street, opposite the Chamber of Com
merce. and the handsome block at the
northwest corner of Third street and
Broadway is. approaching completion.
Work is also being rushed on the new
Ford building. opposite the City Hail. as
the owners desire to move into 1T as soon
as possible.

Out in the residence section of the city
the work of Improvement goes steadily
forward, and handsome residences are
multiplying in almost every quarter. One
of the handsom,s st of the new structures
for residence purposes is approaching
completion near the corner of Flower and
Pico streets, in the recently subdivided
Currier tract. This is the first house to
be erected on this tract, and if the other
Improvements are of the same class it will
be- one of the handsomest blocks in the
city. There is also considerable improve
ment out on West Pico street. One OF the
last tracts subdivided is called the Nicto-
ria. at the corner of Pico and Alvarado
streets. The Jones property, on the oppo-
81 te side of the street is also being got in
shape to put on the market. Beyond the
western city limits there is quite boom,
and many cottages are in course OF con-
struction, besides number of more pre-
tentious residences.
The movement to extend the western
and southwestern city limits to take in the
Harper tract and the University. as well
as Rosedale and a part of Pico Heights,
is being agitated, and quite number of
heavy property holders favor the plan.
These suburbs are thickly settled. and it
is believed that the advantages to be de-
rived from being in the city, will more
than compensate for the additional taxa
ton. The people of Rosedale are very
anxious to get rid of the cemetery in
that section, and believe that this can be
effected by coming into the city, as it is
believed that the bill introduced in the
last Legislature removing all cemeteries
from cities of 1000 or more inhabitants
will pass the next session, by which
time they hope to be paying city taxes
and enjoying all municipal privileges
and advantages. such as fire and police
yr,t honds for Str
provements, etc.
There is quite boom along the line of
the anew Storrs electric road, now that
the actual work of construction has COM
emenced, and holders of real estate are
standing firm. In fact values have been
generally advanced and there is some
Speculating on futures" as to possible
extensions.
