REALTY MEN SEE BIG YEAR
Speakers at Exchange Meeting Predict
Surprising Record for 1877.
DEBATE ON FIRE LIMITS OF THE CITY
Topic of Next Meeting VIII BE the
Opening of Twenty-FOurth
street, with r. ID. wead
ms Leader.

At the first meeting OF the Omaha Real
Estate exchange Wednesday hopeful ex-
pressions were given OF the outlook for the
new year. The annual review OF the city
as shown by the newspapers was taken as
q criterion for the promise OF even better
times for 1907
Charles f. Harrison OF Harrison & Nor
ton spoke briefly as to the real estate bus-
ness Of 1906 and showed that while it was
extremely good, yet but 100 new buildings
were erected during the year as compat ed
with $500 built In the year 1887. The
amount OF building for 1887 reached % OOO, OoO,
while that OF 1906 would, including South
Omaha and Dundee. not go beyond
100000.
II do not mean TO say from this that
Omaha has not greatly prospered during the
year Just past said Mr.. Harrison, FOR
IT'S growth has been internal rather than
external. This Is especially true of the
enormous Increase OF the jobbing interests.
1t Is shown further in the fact Of the total
deposits in the Omaha banks during the
year 1906. which demonstrates the tremen-
dous increase OF the city's business wealth
IN the past decade. However, we can but
admit that the growth in real estate values
has not been commensurate with our In
dustrial growth"
Now Is Omaha'N Time.
George G, Wallace was OF the opinion
that the tremendous development OF the
west and the present high tide of pros
perity now, was Omaha's time
I'VE know what we ought TO do" said
he, and we ought 20 do II now. This
comparison Of the building years OF 1881 IS
and 50 With that OF 1906 is no. criterion
While i,7Oo or more residences were erected
during one OF those years, Il was only a
few years following that we had l.TOC
empty houses In the city. What we are
building now is solid and not OF the boom
order. We are worth In fact and not on
paper"
ID. c. Patterson talked briefly upon the
subject OF the extension OF the FIRE limits
Of the city and thought that they should
be eoextensive with the city limits.
g. s. Curtis did not concur in an ex.
tension OF the IRE limits. He rather Ia
vored their elimination entirely by cut.

A case which may bring out sore

that of the State VS.. Martin O. Berg

one OF the most peculiarly wordcd
