Building Record is Marvel and
Shows Big Gain in All Glasses
of Building.
AND NOW FOR THE YEAR 1915

Omaha has just closed the most
successful years business it has en-
joyed since the city was planted on
nearly three-quarters of a century
ago.
The greatest gains are in real es-
tate transfers, manufacturing job
bing. building operations and bank
tclearings.
Figures on the manufacturing and
jobbing have again been compiled by
the bureau of publicity in the same
painstaking way in which the bureau
has done this for the last several
years, getting exact figures to the
last penny from each individual
manufacturer and jobber in the city
to make up an absolutely reliable
total.
Big Real Estate Deals.
The volume OF real estate transfers al
most doubled over the amount of such
business done last year. Thus the figures
stand In round numbers approximately
3s500,000 last, to nearly. $16,0O0.O00 this
year. One thing, of course, is to be con-
sidered in these figures, namely that
they are more nearly representative of
the actual volume OF money represented
in the transfers of the year than the
figures have been in past years. This Is
because the necessity of buying federal
revenue stamps for the instrumentalities
of real estate transfers. makes 1t OBJ
ligatory upon the parties to the contract
to reveal the true amount represented in
the transaction. instead of filing deed
bearing the easy phrase "considera-
tion 81
BY no means. however. does this new
system account for the whole Of the in
crease recorded, for the year has been
especially productive of big deals in real

NOTICE

There will probably be more or less
criticism about the Rife and Revolve,
Club holding its shoots on Sunday. In be-
half of the Extension Committee, and as
Secretary wish to state that it is not the
intention of the Committee 10 have Sunday
the ofisial day for shooting. But at the
present time we though it might be well
to have these three shoots take place on
Sunday, for the reason there were num-
Der who could not we'll attend during the
week and they were anxious to take part.
and in order to accommodate them it was
decided to hold the next three. contests on
Sundays After these three shoots are
over we hope that the members of the
Club will make other arrangements, and
hold their Shoots on days and at time
satisfactory to every one.
Respectfully,
H. O. ROBERTSON. Secretary.
