Prosperity of City Evidenced in
Record Prices Set at Hemp
hill Estate Auction.

A prosperity signal was
Haunted Tuesday in the unex-
pectedly high prices paid for
the Alabama street property of
the w. A. Hemphill estate at
public auction safe. One plat
was purchased at $1,140 a front
foot, the other bringing 1915 a
front foot. And real estate men
generally are jubilant, declaring
they see in the record figures an
indication Of a continuance of
good business times.
The purchaser of the largest por-
ton Of the property, that at East
Alabama street and Central avenue,
was George Felker, of Monroe. This
lot. facing 40 feet on Alabama street
and extending So feet on Central ave-
nue., was purchased for 55,974. rate
OF s1,14O the front foot. On the lot
is a two-story brick building. occupied
under lease by Swift & Co. There is
a railroad frontage as well
The second piece was sold to John
Alexander. as highest bidder, for SS2.-
liz, or 1915 front foot. 1t is tho
property at Nos. 81 and 5S.East Ala
bama street, fronting So feet on Ala
bama and extending southwark for
10 feet. located between Pryor street
and Central avenue. The lot is at
present occupied by the three-story
brick building of the General Supply
Company.
The bidding on the property was
eager and fast, A number OF ipter-
ests had cast eyes on the plat. and
it is generally believed that the bid
ders were hopeful of an early con-
summation of the Plaza project. At
any rate, the air sounded and re-
sounded with many bids involving
thousands Of dollars, until the prices
scared beyond expectations, and one
by one the bidders were eliminated.
The sale was conducted by the Ed
win P. Ansley Company under an
order by commissioners. 1t took
place before the courthouse door, the
auetioneer being Steve Johnston.
