Some Large improvements Are
In Contemplation.
Canton real estate circles have not
been enjoying much of a boom during
the past month. The failure Of the
Aultman Co., the temporary closing
Of the Dueber case works, the an
nouncement that the Pennsylvania
Co would not proceed with its contem-
plated station improvement, have
caused a feeling of depression. Not
withstanding this, there has been con-
siderable property changing hands, and
bright future is anticipated. Among
the recent transfers is reported the
sale of the building occupied by the
Mahaffey furniture mouse.
The Repository IrinCng company
has purchased ABOUT one-fourth IN
terest in this property owned by the
Gillian estate and occupied by us
printing business AM Manafey's fur
niture store. The pass OF valuation
for the property wa about SAT 900. It's
present quarters, which are leased, are
inadequate for its needs.
A block of flats will be erected this
fall, on the property north of the audi
torium, by w. II. Walker, formerly dis
trict agent of the National Cash Regis
ter Co. The improvement will consist
of eight fats of four rooms each. The
building will be two stories high, and
the lower story will be built so that in
time it can be changed to four store
rooms, 15x50 feet in size.

residence on Sout.. and Market streets.

road leading to Navarro, has purchased
the lot next to Piedmont street and
will erect handsome residence within
one year. A Mr.. tlsher purchased the
lot adjoining, and Will also build a fine

: ed a lot facing on Market street and

= ger works, for house and lot farther
S north on the same street. Mr.. YancJ

r lot he receives.
In speaking of the new Courtlant
e hotel travelling man takes exceptions
e to the plans of the buliding. He claims
k that the lobby of the hotel should bt
e on the ground floor, and not on the sec
2 and story; that the travelling public
wants to have the lobby where they
r can see what is going on out on th'
street He also objected to the Idea O
having offices in connection with tn,
hotel rooms, as it renders it almos
impossible to properly discipline tn
house when parties in the corridor
may claim as clients Of those occu
pying the Offices, etc.
