VACANT HOUSES VERY FEW
Real Estate Exchange Finds Only
800 in the City.
PERCENTAGE CONSIDERED SMALL
Committee Report Silences RumOr
which ArOne from Number of
Unused Gas Meters-Re-
port by Districts.

There are not over SOC vacant houses
in the city, according to special com
mittee of the Real Estate exchange, who
have spent three weeks in investigation,
getting rental lists from every agent in
the city and watching the Sunday papers
for advertisements Of vacant houses not
listed with the rental men.
The investigation was undertaken to
silence the rumor that Omaha had 5000
vacant houses, which rumor is thought
to have grown out of the fact that the
Omaha Gas company reports 5000 unused
meters The unused meters, however.
are for the most part broken meters,
those in dilapldated and abandoned store
and flat buildings in the downtown dis
trict and meters that are used only a
portion Of the year by tenants.
There are approximately 5000 families
in omaha, which means that there are
only 3A per cent Of the total number of
homes vacant" says the report, which
was formally made before the exchange
considering that there is an average OF
200 removals a month. each prospective
tenant has only four houses from which
TO pick his home"

The city election last week
closed one of the hardest and
most perpleXing years we have
ever experienced, and we hope
ever to experience. Beginning
with the city election twelve
months ago, followed by the To-
cal option election, the contest,
the primary election, the gener-
al and statewide election, the
continuation of the local option
contest, then the present city
election, has given us one cOntin-
ual grind, and we are tired. We
hope the time has come for a
rest, and we believe the people
join US in that hope.

Whenever the country news
papers find foreigners invading
the field of the home merchants
with goods and merchandise and
selling them to farmers, they
are asked to arise and whack the
intruders and advise the farmer
to buy their goods of the home
merchants. And when foreign
printing houses send their rep
resentatives among the mer-
chants and business men, many
of these same merchants give
them their orders and get infer,
ior work for the money. That's
reciprocity.-EX.

1t is very unfair to us to make
a twelve months, low rate con
tract to an advertiser, and then
when only a few weeks of the
time has expired, have the adver-
tiser stop, but this has occurred
several times, and is making us
feel a little shaky about making
any concessions in the future,
for either position or rates. We
try to treat every advertiser
right and do the very best we
can for every one, and they
should at least treat US with fair,
ness.
