SALE OF
SCHOOL IS
PROBLEM
Real Estate Dealers Find
That Central School Site
Is Too Big for Any One
But Syndicate to Handle;
Board Is Very Anxious.

The announcement that the Ham
mond board OF education would sell
the central school property has started
local real estate dealers to figuring on
the proposition.
Their els no financial interest in the
city that can purchase the entire prop
erty. but it is believed that a syndi-
cate could be formed that could take
over the property and then divide it up.
There is no financial interest in the
would like to get hold OF 25 or 90 feet
of the property, but who could not
handle the entire 2221s feet. 1t is pos
sible that these buyers will get to-
gether and bid on the property with
the understanding that 1t is to be di-
vided up after it is purchased.
In fact there are a number of move
ments in that direction. 1t is under
stood that the school city is anxious
to make the deal and will sell to any
one who will bid equal to or over the
appraisal.
City May Bid.
The fact that there is not more than
one syndicate in Hammond that. could
be gotten together to take over the
property indicates that it may be had
at its appraised value. There is only a
small chance that any outsiders would
come in and overbid the possible Ham
mond syndicate.
A S. stanton. one OF the members OF
the board. has been around seeing some
OF the business men of the city with
the purpose of inducing them to bid
on the property.
One effect that is expected TO result
from the sale OF this property and its
Improvement as business property Il
that the addition of 225 feet of stores
10 those already on this street is like
iy to cause reduction of rents.
This has brought out the suggestion
that perhaps il would be best that tn,
school city of Hammond should sell the
property tot he municipal city for cit,
hall purposes.
