S20,000 WORTH OF REAL ESTATE
Transfer of West Washing ton Street Property Which Has Had an Inter esting History Within the Last Ten Years

Through the agency of Dick Erd- mans. a large real estate deal involv-
 ing $2000O was consumated yester-
 day. The property transferred was located on Washington street be-
 tween Fifth and Sikh avenues. It
 was the property of Thomas MGrath and was purchased by Royal Lescher The history of this property illu-
 strated the bounding values of real estate in Phoenix. It consists of two lots. one improved and the other un- improved. The first lot was bought by E. C. Pccka ten year ago for 1,500. On that he biult a one story brick house where he lived and kept
 real estate office for several years. Four years ago he bought the ad- joining lot for which he paid S2, 300 and two years he sold the 100 foot frontage to Mir. MGrath for $9,000 Soon after that Mir. MGrath offered it for sale and not long ago he would have taken $12,000 for it.
 After the deal of yesterday had been completed, MT. Lescher asked MT Erdmans: How much do you think this property will be worth in five years from now"
 After judicial consideration of the
 matter. in the course of which Mr. ] Erdmans weighed all the probabilities of real estate advance he replied that he thought it would be worth $i0.- coo. Mir. Lcscher said that he had already given the matter a good deal of thought before he undertook the purchase and he had assured himself that the frontage by 1918 would he worth not less than $60.00O
 Many things have happened with in the last two years in that part of the town to enhance the value Of 1 West Washington street realty. The i Improvements on the Walker prop ! erty. two blocks east and the con , struction of the Redewin building together witr the street improvements have naturally increased realty fig urcs. But the same things have been ! going on in all directions from what l people are accustomed to call the 1 business center though there is def 1 mite descriptions at present of it's | precise location.

BIGGEST
BY NJ AN !
MILLIONS
November CIearings 100000
Over Same Month in 1912.
Week Shows Increase.

With the bank clearings for No
vember, 1913, exceeding by more than
seven million dollars the figures for
November a year ago, indications
were Saturday that the clearings for
the year will exceed by many mil
lions of dollars any year in the his
tory Of the Atlanta Clearing House
Association.
Unless the clearings for Decem-
Der fall far short of what they have
ever been for that MONTH said j.
G. Lester, secretary of the Clearing
House Association, Saturday morn
ing, this year Is going to be the big
gest we have ever had. and the clear
ings will compare very favorably
with any city in the United States.
There are no figures available as
yet on the clearings for the year, bui
indications are they will exceed any
other year by many millions of dol
lars"
The cleariRgs for the month Of No
vember, 1919 were s7s,7os, s2s,os, an
increase, of $31s6,51s.o3 over Novem-
Der, 1912. This increase is consid-
cred remarkable, as there is usually
falling off in bank clearings to-
ward the close of the year.
An increase of the same generous
proportions is seen in the bank clear
ings for the week that closed Satur-
day at noon, as compared with the
same week last year. This week the
clearings were SIS, 300, 9S194, while
last year for the ponding week
the clearings were only $13,12S,l4S.98
a gain of more than two millions.
The clearings for this week are sew
eral million dollars smaller than last
week, but this falling off is but the
natural decrease always apparent aft
er the 18th of each month.
