Increases TenfOId.


Mr.. Patterson. being an old-timer in the
real estate business in Omaha, has some
facts ready at his tongues end. The
Schlits hotel property" he says. which
has been sold for $4,000, was $4,000
stuff fifteen years ago. The same is true
OF the Myers e. Dillon corner, which has
recently been leased for ninety-nine. years
on a s60O.0 900 basis That was also valued
at $4,000 fifteen years ago. The lease on
the $4,000 basis now. 1t must be remem-
bered. is only on the ground value, as
the buildings are of little value and must
be torn down and destroyed before the
new building can be put UP. The same Is
true of the Schlitz property. The 500. 900
paid for that is paid for ground space,
and not for the buildings, for they are
to be torn down also.
The Warren Smith propeiss between
the Board of Trade building and the Pat
| terson block. was leased on a $500 900
basis practically. It is two lots Ten
years ago Myron Learned end Henry
Wyman bought one of those lots for $780, =
OOO In little while they doubled their
money, and now that lot is half of the

basis"
