Greater CITY Records for First
Half of Year Reveal Losses
Above Si5O,OOo,o 900.
WATCHFUL..
Organization of Property
Owners Will Demand Full
Publicity of Finances.

Real estate operations during tho ,rst
half Of the year have shown a marked
decline from Tho records Of Las year
and from the average OF the past few
years.
As the rea%ctlonary tendencies w APP
peared almost exclusively In sections
where subway projects exert a con-
trolling influence. close students OF the
market have attributed the movement to
growing distrust of the rapid transit
situation.
Since tho politicians abandoned the
original plans for completing the city's
existing subway n Its proposed eS-
tensions realty development has been
stun,ed. Large operations had been un-
dertaken upon the assurance that the
city would round out its original invest
ment In subways before assuming the
responsibility OF entirely new projects
Continual shifting OF the subway out
look has forced big operators out OF ths
field and the business OF the half year
has represented practically the abso'
luteiy necessary projects OF investment
supply and demand.

movement. Dwelling builders hled
plans calling for an outlay Of nearly

Prices of land in those parts of
Brooklyn which will become available

bought many Hats ana sites there dur

MILK CITY OF $4,000, 900.

Real estate experts had expected a
notable boom to follow the final settle
ment of the rapid transit subway prob
lem. Events OF the past Few weeks
however have aroused grave misgiv-
ings in regard 10 the real estate future.
Taxpayers o~ryanizat tons and indivld-
ual property owners are protesting Wig
orously against the subway deal as pre-
pared by the politicians. They believe
that 1t means nothing less than a huge
raid upon the city treasury. II Is limited
that from 500, 600. OO to $30.Ooo,oo may be
distributed outside of the actual costs
OF the new lines.
There were big profits for insiders
and politicians in the building Of the
first subway. Taxpayers leaders are
prepared to watch the financial arrange
ments OF the new system closely In or
der that millions may not be wasted.
As city bonds must be floated to meet
the entire outlay. taxpayers declare that
every dollar spent without proper re-
turn represents an added burden upon
realty and the central organizations OF
property owners will demand full pub
licity for every detail OF the new
financing.

tinued TO show the preference of small
investors for sites outside OF the cit,

Tunnel May Be Built
BY Private Capital

II the Moffat road is not financed
along the lines originally laid down
by Its former president, David H..
Moffat. and the state OF Colorado
fails to build the tunnel through the
main range OF the Rockies, 1t seems
more than probable that Colorado
millionaires will put up the money
for the completion of the road to
Salt Lake City.
This view of the situation is given
credeuce by the presence in New Y York
at the present time of u. {. Dodge
and Gerald Hughes. They left Dem
yer quietly, and have been in consul
tation with W. G. Evans. the new
president of the road. the representa-
tives of Halgarten X Co. New York

The one big question Immediately
facing us iS the fact that our school

Two years ago "A one room High

There was an unfinished. dirt walled

separate divisions of students in
High school. Freshmen. Sophomore.
Junior, Senior and Irregulars. There
are as many pupils In the Freshman
class this year as there were in all
the High School year before last.
The High School building has not
expanded. One who knows says
that Paonia has the least room In
proportion to enrolment OF any
High School in the state.
II was foreseen that the enroll
ment would he solarge that n base
ment room In the grade building was
patched up and the 9Th grade was
removed to the old church building
in the south part of town leased for
that purpose. This all costs much
money,-n great part of which is in
the end wasted Patching up is poor
economy yet no other solution was
seen. The patching process was
used in the High School basement,
