Building Activities Meet
Temporary Lull.

Greater activity than had been an
ticipated marked the local realty mar
ket last week, the total value of
property going TO record on bargain
and sale deeds. In the city chancery
and the county courts, being close TO
a half million dollars. The sales were
for the most part of moderate size,
though a number of larger deals were
shown ty the papers recorded.
The largest total of the week was
that OF Friday when recordations put
the figures up to $4,000, This figure
is about twice the average of the
figures of preceding days. but because
of the fact that one deal was re-
recorded having been previously put
on record In the county court, 1t may
be regarded as inflated. The average
for the other days of the week, about
SIS, GOO, was struck on that day. when
the re-recorded deal is eliminated
, from the calculations.
This deal involves the transfer by
Clyde w. Saunders OF fifty acres, part
of the Acca Stock Farm to the West
Gintec Park Realty Corporation. for
$4,000.
