SKYSCRAPERS
Fourteen. Office Buildings Worth
SO,lOO,OOO-First Erected in
Early Nineties and Hurt Is Last.

With the completion of the Hurt
and Healey Buildings, Atlanta has 9
skyscraper total of IA and a total
value in the higher buildings OF
$6'lOO,OOO and an estimated aggre
gate value of 100000 in all kinds
OF office buildings, big and little.
The Hurt Building is valued al
100000.
The Healey will be completed
about January 1, at cost of 5000 600
and will be finished later n cove,
the entire block bounded by Forsyth
walton, Broad and Poplar streets.
The Fourth National cost $500 ,OOO
as did the Gambler Building.
Inc Empire Building cost half a
million, and the Equitable cost about
the same, or something less.
Cost of Bank Buildings.
The Atlanta National and the
Third National Bank Buildings cost
$450,00O each.
The Grant Building cost 1926, 900.
and the Austell Building $315,OOO.

and the Rhodes Building $4,000.
The Oldest Office building in Allan
IA iC tho Ennftah
was constructed in the early nineties,
and failure was predicted for it..
Tenants soon filled it, however, and
at no time in Office building history
has there been any trouble filling
skyscrapers with tenants.
Another Skyseraper Due.
Application for permit to build
the Austell Building was made July
16, 1896, for the Empire Life Build
ing. May 5, 1897, and for the Grant
Building, October 20. 1897. The date
for the Empire Building was August
3, 1900, for the Atlanta National Bank
Building. October 80. 1901, for the
Fourth National Bank Building, Au-
gust l3, 1903, and for the Gambler
Building, August 3, 1904. The Third
National date was April 8, 1910, the
Healey, October II. 1912, and the
Hurt. the same day.
Intense interest centers in an
nouncement of plans for the next
office building. There are several
sites under consideration and sew
eral parties figuring. Inasmuch as it
requires year or more to plan a
skyscraper, declaration of inten-
tons from some source is expected at
any time.

things grow out of the ground-for
men Of mature years.
There is William 7. Healey, for in
stance, who has found the Creature
Circumstance so hard as to make him
live most of his life downtown. Not
that Mr.. Healey is old. Far from it!
But the fact remains that he has pro-
vided snug place out in the coun-
try where he can go some day and
'enJoy life"
What matters it that he paid r. D.
Dorsey $17,500, or $50 front foot, for
$50 by $50 foot lot on Peachtree
road, just south of Buckhead? He
has good neighbors, and, besides, he
has refused profit OF $40, 900 on his
lot and considers that 1t is worth

the development of Atlanta real es-
tate.
The original land lot of 202 1-2 acres
In Ansley Park cost Edwin P. Ansley
100000 from the George w. Collier
estate seven years ago. Mr.. Anslsy
has since added a number of smaller
acreage tracts, notably that which
he bought from Mrs. Harriet F. Bran
don, for less than $1,000 an acre, and
that from Mrs Sallie ]. Bearse, IL
acres, for $25,375.
Mr.. Ansley has spent $4,000 OF
more putting his subdivision in shape.

Kirkwood Lots Bring $12,4oo.

Thirty-one city lots in Kirkwood.
comprising about eight acres have
been sold by the receivers on the
Guarantee Trust and Banking Com
pany to Collier brothers for $1,000.
This is known as the Robson subdi-
vision, with AGO feet of frontage on
Hardee street, $40 on Robson place,
ESQ on Kirkwood road, $50 on Emery
street and $50 on Norwood avenue.
The terms were practically cash. j.

banners. These are not only attrac-
tive, according to the owners, but
they lend an air of life and patriot
ism wherever seen
The average subdivision inside the
city limits is in a peculiar position.
Although a part of the city, its pri-
vate nature tends to make council
play hands off" Take Ansley Park
for instance In the beginning, Ansley
Park was the property of Edwin z.
Ansley, and the city did little, If any
thing for II. Now it is largely the
property of individuals who pay city
taxes. and the city, still does little
or nothing for 1t.

keep him some time away from the

goes on with the erection of his sky
scraper.
High prices of subdivisions around
Atlanta prevent developers from en-

former tract is known as Peachtres

$4,000 and 100000, respectively.

THE SEASONS OF THE HEART.
When meads are fair with green of
spring.
when Apriis moon In bright.
Then hope In like a bIuebird's wing
1t wakes the hearts delight:
When hills are crowned with rosy
when fragrant doors cloy,
Then love. like angel from the tomb.
Awakens the heart to joy!
When fields are ripe with tawny grain.
when songs of summer cease.
Then gratitude like golden gain
Awakes the heart to peace!
when winter silvcrs every pond.
When frost is the streams,
It's then that memory's magic wand
Awakens the heart to dreams!

MAY BE AT LAST.

Looks as if the humble newspaper
men have come into a share of their
own. The newest senators from
Texas and Arkansas are scrihes.
Pittsburg' new police director is also
one and the new governor of Ohio
edits two papers. Wilson's brother
is about to break into the senate.
Look at Fitch in Illinois and the good
Lord only knows who else.
Yep, the newspaper game has a
few side doors to it now. Lot of the
congressman are of the clan and
twelve of them sit in the United
State senate. When Mr.. Simon en-
tertained his senators and represen-
tatives last Sunday you couldn't turn
around without falling over some
editor.

Because of one of those political
disagreements, the details of which
do not always seep out to the public,
Mayor Knots took a sudden notion
to close Gary's red light" district.
One hundred scarlet women have
been driven from the city. For how
long we do not know.
During the past two days Gary
has gotten along pretty well without
its red light district
The Gary underworld is one of the
most infamous in the country 1t
has like, those of large cities, been
the breeder of crime, disease, suffer
ing, and graft-if we are to accept as
true the ugly stories that crop out
from time to time. A half dozen
murders have occurred there this
year.
And basing this on the statement
of Gary clergyman who pronounced
it publicly from his pulpit yesterday

GREAT KANSAS IDEA.

Kansas, onetime home of the jay
hawker, populism, the whisker, the
blind pig. Carrie Nation and other
strange things, has found itself.
Proudly pointing to the fact that
it has among other things by statute
abolished the common drinking cup
and the free-for-all roller towel, it
now, through its Governor, George II.
Hodges. proposes that the Legislature
cease meeting for eight or ten years,
so the State can catch up with the
laws now on the books.
It's great idea, tending to restore
peace in the community and prevent
clogging the law books with unneces-
sary matter.
Might try it in Indiana. Honestly
you wouldn't know the old state if it
were allowed to wiggle along for
eight years with a legislature setting
it back every two years.

HoNORS FOR ALL.

The Hammond and the Whiting
high schools have again triumphed in
the premier inter-scholastic athletic
event of the county high schools and
the winnig of these two schools as
they are named is a matter of of con-
graduation to both of them. In
oratory and music they carried off the
lions share of the honors which is a
most commendable record in itself.
Gary is coming to the front rapidly
in these contests and is handicapped
at present only because of her youth
and the lack of school spirit season.
ing. A school to win must have age
and seasoning and when Gary gets
these there will be no fear but what
she will win her share of honors in
any and all interscholastic contests.

WHAT is A PHILANTHROPY?

The News, of Caldwell, Kan, adj
hitting that the town needs phil
anthropist, describes the rare bird as
"a man who inherited a big wad of
money, or gobbled it from the public
when the government wasn't looking,
or absorbed it in 'unearned incre-
ment,' or acqui I'd it by other mys-
riotous living on account of an i'm
paired digestive apparatus"
We never heard of a female phil
anthropist. The RICH woman has no
pet indigestibles, nor shelf worn con-
stitution, and knows how to spend
the money. She is willing to let, the
he-bonehead do the philanthropy.

on the anti-fy campaign which are
to the point Some of them are rs

Flies follow filth.
Fever follows flies.
Swatting saves sickness.

IT'S DIFFERENT NOW.

We are much edited to read in the
anent the taking of
the postoffice there by an Argus en-
ploy to the effect that:
THE present head of the post
office department is demanding
service from postmasters. The
office will cease in a large measure
to be the reward for partisanship.
Postoffices are TO be business
propositions. with service 20 the
people the standard to be sought

Importance of LaPorte will call for

republicans are out in the cold and
the democrats have the pie !here is
no partisanship about it any more
