REAL ESTATE MEN
 VERY OPTIMISTIC
Four Sales Made Yesterday, the Money Involved Total
 ing S100,0OO

Four parcels of property were sold yes- terday the money involved aggregating about s1oo.OO0. The sales do not include smaller transfers during the week just ended which has been rather attractive in way for real estate operators and in vestors
 1t is announced that a lot adjoining the Lykes apartments on Sixth avenue. near Nipeteenth street, north. was sold to Dr. Gewin for S22, GOO. This sale was reported yesterday and created some in- terest by reason of the fact that the in- vesting public seems to be going in the northern direction for investment An other sale was a lot on Sixth avenue and Twenty second street measuring 100 by 100 feet, which was sold to Dr. Frank Snede- cor for $22,ooo. It was announced that Dr. Snedecor purchased that lot as an investment
 A lot fronting 50 feet on Fifth avenue. between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets, was sold by the Dryer estate to the Fidelity Mortgage and Security com pany for s35,00O. That price is about s7oO per foot. The Mullin apartments on Twenty-third street. between Sixth and Seventh avenues, was sold by the Fidel- ity Mortgage and Security company to Rena Williams for s15,5Oo.
 The four transfers above announced stimulated to a very marked degree the real estate market during the past few days.
 It is understood that the real estate men are unusually sanguine over the outlook and believe that even better con- ditions will prevail during the next few weeks. The unusual building activity and the fact that bond companies are now inclined to make loans freely has contributed largely to the final awaken ing of the real estate market.

Not an Arrest Made Yet for Failure
 to Cut the Weeds

City officials are delighted with the spirit of cooperation that has been shown by the public in cutting of weeds. Fol lowing the announcement last week of a plan to arrest every citizen who did not cut his weeds not a single arrest so far has been made, it is said.
 Everywhere in all parts of the city weed cutting has been taken up and the results have been simply astounding. Private citizens corporations, companies and all parties in control of property have started the crusade against the weeds and, the city officials feel that 1t may not be necessary to make a sin gle arrest.
 Everybody is given a fair show and no one, 1t Is said, will be arrested who can prove he is doing his best to get rid of his weed crop. The city health depart ment has undertaken the enforcement of the law
