Important Property Changes Recorded |
During Last week-Eight DIV ellinss to be |
Built.
The most important real estate trans |
action of the current week was the
formal transferring of the large iute
mill plant OF the Wilmington Mills
Manufacturing Co. to the Planet Mills
Manufacturing Co. of Brooklyn, n. J.
The deal had been consummated and
the transfer was recorded during the
week at the city and county. offices.
The tract, which covers an Narea l60
feet 10 inches by 354 feet 6 inches, is
located at the northwest corner OF Six
tenth street and Railroad avenue. The
consideration was $50, 900. The deal is
one of the most important since the
first of the year.
A property on the north side OF
avenue, 32xl32 feet, owned by Murray
| & Conyer, was sold to the Leibrandt Il
| Mcdowell Stove Co. of Philadelphia.
The consideration was s440. There was
some encumbrance.
The only building lines drawn during
the week were for Ross & Sons new
store, No. IL East Second street, and
dwelling, 50 feet inches by 20 feet, at
the southeast ccrnsr of, Chestnut and
| Clayton streets, for Henry G. Webb. 1t
| is likely, however, that the Engineer
ing Department will have more to do
| in this direction next week. as Thomas
Fl. Melvin has decided 10 build eight
dwellings on the north side of Taylor
street between Lombard and Pine and
has asked for the lines. This is con-
sidered the beginning Of the spring
activity in the matter of building
dwellings.
Several large blocks of real estate
changed hands during the week and
negotiations were begun for other tracts
by people who, it is believed, eontem-
plate putting up buildings. This is
moving day, except where the parties
concerned have agreed not to change
until Monday, and nearly every avail
able house in the city has been taken.
One contractor, who put up row OF
dwellings last fall, told reporter OF
Every Evening that he had rented all
, of his houses but four, which he OK.
pected to sell, and as soon as the -four
are disposed of he will arrange to build
more in the southwestern part Of the
| city. Several other contractors, it is

j mind.
