HOMES FOR NEGROES
Novel Mammoth Apartment
House Is Planned

A proposition is on foot to build a
mammoth apartment house at Rondo
street and Harrington avenue for the
exclusive use of colored people. Capital
has been promised to j. J. Allen, a
prominent colored citizen, with which
to push the project through to compile
ton, if he can secure sufficient guar
antee that the building can be filled
with tenants when SO completed. He
is actively agitating the matter and
will address the members of the Mems
Union Sunday club regarding the ex-
pediency of such building when they
meet next Sunday afternoon at the st.
James A M. E. church.
The building, as roughly planned,
will present a frontage Of ESQ feet on
Harrington and a frontage of 100 feet
on Rondo. 1t will be four stories in
height, and will be a modern apart
ment house in every sense of the word,
equipped with heat, gas and electric
lights, elevators and laundries The
walls will be of brick, with stone trim
mings, and the interior finished
throughout in hardwood. The pro-
posed cost of erection is in the neigh
borhood of $65,000. If the capital in
terested in the project can be assured
of sufficient encouragement, the work
of construction will be commenced i'm
mediately in the hope that the building
may be ready for occupancy by Nov. l.
The need of such an apartment
house in St Paul is patent, say colored
men who have become interested in
the project Despite anything which
may be said to the contrary, they insist
that prejudice still exists in this por-
ton of the country against the colored
man, no matter how honest and indus
trious he may be. Because of this
prejudice it is often difficult for colored
men to rent houses. Rental agencies
fear to impoverish the value Of adjoin-
ing houses by renting one of their list
to colored man. Not a single high
class apartment house is open to him
Such houses as may be rented are said
to be houses which cannot be rented
to other persons.

REPUBLICANS HAVE ONE
CLASH WITH GOVERNOR

The Republican legislature crossed
swords only once during the session
with the Democratic governor The
control of the new state capitol was
made party issue by Republican
leaders in the senate, who forced the
house to join hands with them. The
Horton bill, introduced Jan. 10 in the
senate, was railroaded through the Ses-
sion without consideration at a night
session. 1t gave control of the cap
itol to the capitol commission and au-
thorized the appointment of a MEM
Der of the commission as custodian at
$4,000 a year.
The bill went to the house and the
proper house committee reported a sub
stitute bill, modifying materially the
Horton bill. Ambitious leaders in the
house succeeded in turning down the
committee report and accepting mod
flied form of the Horton bill. 1t then
passed both houses.
Gov. Johnson, on March %, vetoed
the bill.
March 80 both houses. under the
smarti:ig party whip, passed the bill
over the governors veto. In the SEN
ate the vote was 46 to Is and in the
house 81 to %. The bill gives control
of the capitol to the commission until
the completion of the building, not ex-
ceeding two years An appropriation
of $4,000 year is provided for its
maintenance. No member of the COM
mission will be its superintendent, but
the commission will name the super
intendent and the other employees.
The governor used his veto power
only two other times during the ses-
sion. The Gjertsen bill. legalizing the
practice of chiropractics by putting it's
practitioners under a state board of
examiners. was vetoed and the veto
stands. The other case was a bill ex-
tending the jurisdiction of the Duluth
municipal court to Lake and Cook
counties. No attempt was made either
to overturn this veto, which was on
the recommendation of the attorney

ONE TAX MEASURE OF
IMPORTANCE PASSES

Practically the only tax measure of
Importance that passed both houses
and is now a law is the Roberts wide
open tax amendment. The bill was
house file No. 1, and was introduced by
w. p. Roberts of Hennepin. 1t pro-
vides that the right of taxation shall
never be abridged, except in some
minor particulars, as relating to the
property of religious and charitable
associations. The Roberts bill pro-
vides for a constitutional amendment
to be submitted at the next general
election to the people of the state for
their approval or rejection A similar
bill met defeat in two previous SEES
sions of the legislature, but there was
singularly little objection TO IL at the
session of 1906 The senate refused to
concur in the original bill, but at a
conference between representatives Of

was later examined by the same COM
mittee. Severe reflections were cast
on his record, charges of extravaganza
and even dishonesty being coupled
with complaints that he had been neg

porting improper conditions in certain

BILE. The bill opened up the whole ques-
ton of prison labor in the state. The
result was that the house passed two
bills. One permits the establishment
of the plant and the other says that the
existing law limiting the number of
convicts who may be employed in an
industry in the prison to 10 per cent
of the whole number employed in the
industry in the state shall not be dis
turbed except In minor particulars. One
is on industries not now represented
in the state. The senate may pass the
labor bill today, but it is said that the
Zelch bill, authorizing the installation
of the binder plant at Saltwater has
no chance of passage in the senate.

SUDDEN DEMAND
IN OLD SECTION
BUSINESS AND HOME LOTS ON
THE EAST SIDE
BOULEVARD HEIGHTS TRACT
Sixty Acres In the West End VIII Pro-
vide 263 Lots-SaIes In Various
Subdivisions During
the Week

East side property in the vicinity of
the Salt Lake and Southern Pacific
railway yards has sprung into promi-
nence during the past few weeks, and
there is an active demand for corner
lots for business purposes and inside
lots for home sites. The particular
w favorite district is the section
bounded by Also street on the north,
First street on the south and Penn
sylvania avenue on the east.
Not far distant is the new Salt Lake
freight depot, the Southern Pacific
shops, the Cudahy Packing company,
the Pasadena Ice company, the Amer
lean Canning company, the Southern
California Fruit Canning company, the
Los Angeles gas works and numerous
other important industrial enterprises.
Railway men in the employ of the Salt
Lake company and those employed at
the plants named appear to be buying
al; vacant lots available at prices
ranging from $500 to $1,000, as all de-
sire homes close to the railroad and the
factories.
This property seems to have been
overlooked for some years by local in
vestors, but the building of the new
railroad and the concentration of many
important industries has brought the
district into sudden value. The prop
erty has a good elevation where it is
cool in summer and dry in winter, and
because of the nearness to the busi-
ness center and the railroad and other
busy places, the section is regarded as
especially desirable for homes. The
Pasadena cars give seven minute
service from the Also street bridge
to the corner of Main and Third
streets.
The city is having a steel bridge
built across the river on Also street
and this improvement will not only be
of great benefit to the section de-
scribed but will be of considerable ad-
vantage to those who are planning to
build homes in Boyle Heights.
