AckIey's Real Estate Sale

On Monday and Tuesday John A.
Ackley the a%uctioneer sold sixty-three
lots and improved properties. Taking
into consideration the existing condi-
tons of business, especially as regards
real estate, he considers this a most
successful sale. The fact that the ma
jority of the properties sold were pur-
chased by real estate dealers and local
business men and residents of Wild
wood is evidence of the confidence in
the future success and growth of the
this resort, for surely it has been i'm
possible to move such an amount of
real estate this year in any other resort
on the Jersey coast. In fact Mr.. Ack-
ley feels SO encouraged by his success.
that he has already announced that he
will hold another sale on Labor Day,
September 10th, 1915. The big Colonial
and Goodall properties were not sold.
The Colonial was bid to $8,4OO, subject
to a mortgage of $25 900. Philip Auer-
bach, of 805 Kaighn emu Camden,
a cottager at the Crest, is understood to
have been the bidder 90 the Colonial,
which was not sold. Joseph Geisen-
berger is the owner of the property and
the statement is made that it can be
bought for less than 1926, 900, subject to
the mortgage. The bidding was slow
on the Goodall store property. The
Sun building and lot on Maple avenue
was knocked down to Mr.. Auerbach
for $500, there being a mortgage of
$500 on same. The Sun weekly news
paper plant and good will of the paper
was sold to ex-Sheriff w. H. Bright for
$500. The other bidder was Lester
McAllister. MI. Ackley announced
the subscription list as being $50. The
plant consists of an old style Country
Campbell newspaper press and an as
sortment of type. It was sold to settle
the estate of the late Thomas G. HamiI-
ton. The plant was moved last April
just before Mr.. Hamilton's death from
the Sun office on Maple avenue to the
Connolly house at the corner of Oak
and the railroad, which property was
bought by w. H. Bright and occupied
by him at present as a real estate office.
1t is said that Mr.. Bright will take
over the paper sometime in September.
An apartment house located on one lot,
being 120 and 122 e. Young avenue,
was sold as the property of John Il.
O'Neill to MI. Auerbach for $500.
Another house and lot nearby on the
same street located as lot 8, block 119,
was knocked down at 1880. j.. A.
Dare got a big bargain when he bought
lot l, block 40, at the corner of Pacific
and Hand avenues, for $4,000. The
Kicker cottage a new house at 229 w.
Maple avenue, went to Beecher-Kay
Realty Co. for $500. The lola, owned
by Mr.. Abrams, 225 E. Hand avenue,
went for $3.50. The apartment and
store building on Burk avenue opposite
the ice plant was bought by Mr.. Auer
bach for SO, 1000. The corner cottage at
Poplar and New York went to MI. Nc
Kibben for $500. Sixteen lots in
Anglesea, in the vicinity of Sixth street
and the railroad, were bought by Frank
L. King.

THE ATTRAcTIvENEss OF "A CLEAN

| Every city should display the spirit of "pol-
fishing mp the handle of the big front door, as
it were, in anticipation of the entertainment of
visitors. Places where tourists are wont to con-
tgregate have been frightened and freshened
and the result of it all is comfort and attract
iveness, and makes for pleasure and profit.
Analogy suggests that the whole city get in
line as sections have done. The initiative has
been taken by private citizens who have made
up their minds to do their share toward put
ting the municipal house in order. There
should be some way to excite enthusiasm which
will make this fever for cleanliness and bright
color contagious IF it will only spread from
Kalihi tosKaimuki and from Allen street to the
rear of Punchbowl, through even the business
district, until the entire city is in its most pre-
sentable dress. then the municipality will have

THE LUs1TAN1A SINKING.

The torpedoing of the Lusitania, supposed
! by German Submarine, eyokes through tn
United States shudder of horror and indig
nation. Not only because American citizen
were lost in the chaos after the vessel wa
struck, butt because non-combatants, womel
and children. were ruthlessly placed at TIN
mercy of the seas.

The tense anxiety manifested locally yester
