AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Real Estate Transfers for the Year CVel
Half Million.
MOSTLY IN TRACTS HAVING TRACKAeI
Two Hundred and Twenty-oBe Build
ing Permits Issued During the
Year, Some of Them for
Large Structures.

The Approximate movement of real estate
in South Omaha during the last year is
about $55O,OO0. This statement has been
computed from the Statements of most
of the real estate dealers of the city.
These figures are about 30 per cent in ad-
vance of those of 1885, due probably to the
sale of large tracts during the last year.
One of the largest tracts to change hands
was the letter property, between Twenty
seventh and Twenty eighth. and between T
and streets The tract sold for $35 600,
The sale of business property has not been
exceptional. The property bought, i'm

represented $4,000 II was perhaps the
largest transfer of business property In
the year. Most OF the purchases have
been made by bona fide homeseekers and
many homes have been erected during
the year. The period of greatest activity
was during the months of May and June.
during which time the great bulk of the
business was transacted. The work on
the interurban lines has created quite a
demand for property In easy reach along
their routes. Sales, however. have not
been brisk, for the reason that property
owners have refused to sell. They are
looking for much better figures pending
the opening OF the coming season. Srec-
ulative purchases have been less numerous
than in previous years. 1t appears to have
