The dispatches from Washington printed
in The Bee of yesterday regarding the South
Omaha postoffice site caused considerable
talk on the streets last evening. 1t was
declared by some that the deal was off, and
that the government would not locate pub
lie building at the corner of Twenty fourth
and NJ streets. One thing which gave cred
ence to the rumor that the deal was off was
the listing yesterday of the Geary property
with firm of real estate agents Mr.. Geary
said last night that he had not heard any
thing direct from Washington in relation to
the matter, but supposed that the trouble
between l.. ID. Fowler and the German Saw
ings bank would be adjusted shortly to the
satisfaction of all concerned.
AS for listing his property, Mr.. Geary said
that II a purchaser came along with the
cash and was willing to pay the price he
asked, the corner would be sold regardless
OF the governments acceptance of the prop
erty. During the past year, while waiting
rents amounting to 81, 900 had been lost Mr..
Geary asserted and he was rather tired of
the seemingly useless delay. AS far as a
settlement is concerned, Mr.. Geary said that
1t looked now to be as far away as 1t was a
year ago.
Daniel Harmon, who owns the north ten
feet OF the site, was seen last night, but he
knew nothing about the matter and had not
heard anything in regard to the deal being
of The general impression seemed to be
that the trouble over the title to the Fow-
Ter portion OF the property would be arranged
to the satisfaction OF the treasury officials
before long. and that the postofiice would
eventually be erected at the northwest corner
OF Twenty-fourth and streets.
