MUCH ACTIVITY IN RESIDENCE PROPERTY
transactions Of the week Have
Mostly 90 DO with the Sale
of sites for Homes
or Investment

Among the important developments in
real estate during the last week was the
acquisition Of number Of lots by the
Chicago Great Western railroad adjoining
its right-of-way to the freight depot at
Sixteenth and Leavenworth streets Many
lots In the vicinity were bought at private
sale about one month ago. when nearly
the entire frontage on Nineteenth street
from Mason to Leavenworth streets was
acquired. The lots bought last week were
principally from owners who had refused
TO sell their holdings adjoining the right
of-way and were contemplating bringing
actons for damages on account OF the
alleged injury to their lots by the excava-
tion OF the cuts from the right-of-way.
Such action was forestalled by the railroad
company after negotiation for the re-
mainder Of the lots affected and anic-
able arrangements were made whereby
the title passed to the company at a fair
price.
Most Of the lots bought are on Nine
teenth street, with only one on Twentieth
street, and were alleged TO be damaged
by the deep cut necessary for the right-of-
way. which is 900 feet wide and will close
all access from the lots to the street. The
total transactions Of the last deal repre-
scented an investment Of 1880 and other
lots are to be acquired by condemnation
proceedings in case OF refusal on the part
OF owners TO accept the price offered by
the company.

by this House should be, 50 restricted

limits OF a single Parliament the final
decision of the House Of Commons
shall prevail"
Replying to aquestion, the Premier
said it was not proposed that the
resolution. dealing with the House of
Lords should be moved In the upper
House after it's discussion In the
House Of Commons had been COM
,pleted. He emphasized the fact that
the resolution embodied the principle
of the predominance of the House OF
Commons, and said that in adopting
this course they were following Ger
tain historic precedents. The reso-
luton itself, even if carried, would
not have the effect Of law or procure
the desired results. A bill would
be necessary, and the Government
would exercise it's discretion as to
when it should be introduced. His
Majesty's Ministers nowtonly desired
to test the opinion of the House and
make sure that they hadthe House OF
Commons behind them. They held
the view that the House of Commons
alone was authorized to express the
country's sentiments. The Premier
declared that the only course open
was to recognize ungrudgfngly the
constitutional authority which resid-
ed in the House of Commons.

Premier protested that If this author

Continuing, the Premier said the

Of a Parliament to five years would
effectively prevent "an effete Govern.

bones, evidently once forming the

in an excellent state Of preservation.
Experts from the. National Museum

of the quarternary epoch, the direct
ancestor of the bear of our own
time, but of at least twice the stature
of the brown bears of to-day.
