DOUGLAS STREET
PROSPECTS GREAT
Not Another Omaha District
Will Show as Much Build
ing Activity This Year.
MOSTLY sKYsoRAPERs

Not another street in Omaha has
such immediate building prospects be-
fore it as Douglas street in the BUSH
ness section. Douglas now has i'm
mediate prospects for seven sky
scrapers in direct line within a
lineal distance OF four city blocks.
All Of these. strange to say, will be
on the north side of the street.
Highest of these, of course, is the
Hotel Fontenelle, which has already
been in existence few years and has
become a landmark on that street.
Next to it, on the west, stands the
Masonic temple, with ten stories,
now being completed.
New Phone Building.
West of that excavation is in prog
ress, at Nineteenth street, for the
construction of the fourteen-story
$1,00O,O00 headquarters building OF
the Nebraska Telephone company.
Down. the, hill half block from the
Hotel Fontenelle will be the Omaha
Athletic club, with its ten stories.
Bids are now in and the contract will
be let in a few days. A half block
east of this will be the fourteen-story
building contemplated by the Bran
deis interests, who have just obtained
a longtime lease on the, Bushmar
block, better known as the Kennedy
corner, the northeast corner of Six
teenth and Douglas. One block east
of this the Brandeis interests again
have obtained longtime lease on
the Creighton block, where they con-
template fourteen-story building,
Immediately east of this is the site OF
the old Continental block, now de-
stroyed by fire. Recent negotiations
brought this site by longtime lease
into the hands OF A. H. Blank of Des
Moines, president of the Strand
Amusement company, who plans to
build a twelve-story moving picture
house and store building there.
Seven in a Row.
This completes the seven skyscrap-
ers in lineal distance Of four blocks,
and makes prospect OF changing
Omahas skyline so radically in the
next twelve or. twenty-four months
that those who might be away year
would feel lost in the maze of new
structures here.
So much for Douglas street. This
street will NOT be the only one, how.
ever, over which the skyline will be
changed The First National bank
building in the pivotal heart of the
city, ofi~course; changed the skyline
several months ago. 1t is again to be
changed by the Wolf-Hiller hotel
building Of fourteen stories at Six
tenth and Harvey streets. 1t will
be changed by the ten-story automo-
bile and garage building contempla-
ted by the Keystone Investment COM
pany at Seventeenth and Howard
streets. 1t will be changed some
what by the beautiful apartment
houses which are going up every
where I'd h. the great additions to
tie wholesale houses and factory
pants in he section of the city given

Omaha Realtors Going to
Conference at Kansas City

The Omaha Real Estate board at
a meeting "Wednesday showed con-
siderable interest in city planning and
especially in being represented at the
national conference of city planning
boards in Kansas City May 7 to 9.
Invitations were read from real es-
tate men of Kansas City to real es-
tate men of Omaha. One from Pres
ident F.,..C. Sharon OF the Kansas
City board urged the Omaha realtors
to be present. George T. Morton,
chairman of the Omaha City Plan
ming commission, told the meeting
that they would be we'll repaid by at
tending. He called attention to work
that had been done in Baltimore,
probably the most extended piece OF
plating and the most elaborate ever
attempted in this country.
The program for the conference
shows that George E. Kessler, St.
Louis, will be prominent in the con-
,ention. He is known in Omaha and
has advised the water board and the
park commissioner as to the work
here. The sentiment of the Omaha
Real Estate board indicates that there
would be a good delegation attending,
not only to hear the program and to
enjoy the entertainment offered by
realtors in Kansas City, but also to
see what has been done in the Coun-
try club and other suburbs OF Kan
sas City in correct planning.
1t was the sentiment of the board
that the officials of Omaha should be
we'll represented. A committee OF
three was appointed, George 7. Nor
ton, c. w. Martin and Ernest Sweet,
to secure Representative delegation
from Omaha.

Omaha Real Estate Board
Urges Advertisement Body

The Omaha Real Estate board pro-
poses to urge the public to consider
the advantages offered by securing
the services OF the boards appraise-
ment committee.
In many of the large cities all legal
appraisements are submitted by at
torneys and the courts to the real es-
tate board and the appraisements are
considered not only official, but au-
thoritative. In an estate where there
are four heirs and three separate
pieces Of property, two of them cen
tai and the third suburban ten-acre
tract, wishing to divide the property,
the parties came to the appraisement
committe OF the board and paid the
fee, which is very moderate, for the
appraisement on the separate proper
ties. Several attorneys have recently
asked for the services Of the commit
tee in cases which are pending in

PROBLEMS CONFRONT
ALL THE REALTORS
Disposing Of Tax Questions
When Sales Are Made is
Annoying Thing.
ALL SEEK LEGISLATION

The Chicago Real Estate board
claims to be the oldest and most in
1ucntial in the world" This board
issues monthly bulletin, magazine
Of more than 100 pages. The last
one contains an address given at one
of the weekly luncheonS of the board
on the Real Estate Man and the
Banker"
The Chicago realtors seem to have
the same problems as the boards of
Omaha and other cities. This is
shown by the reports OF their good
housing" committee and the commit
tee on housing the negro race. They
also have the same difficulty evidently
that is experienced by Omaha real
tors in deciding when taxes should
be assumed by the purchaser and
when they should be paid by the
grantor, at the time OF the year when
taxes are not yet payable, but the
date of paying is near at hand,
An Old Controversy.
Omaha realtors have always had at
this season of the year considerable
controversy as TO who should pay
the city taxes which are not payable
until May |, and yet are liens months
before. The Chicago board is trying
to secure legislation specifying the
date or dates that will make a divid-
ing line between the grantor and the
grantee paving taxes.
The Omaha real estate owners and
real estate agents would like to see
something decisive done i'll Nebraska,
particularly covering the city tax
proposition.
Omaha is said to be probably the
only city in the country where taxes
are paid i'll advance. City taxes are
due May and delinquent July | for
the current year. 1t is a rule in most
places in states and municipalities
that taxes do not become payable un-
til toward the close of the year, and
are not delinquent until some time in
the year following.
Taxes Paid in Advance.
For instance, the state and county
taxes of Nebraska are payable No
vember OF the current year, but are
not delinquent until May of the fol-
lowing year. City taxes being delin-
quent July /, the city has the money
six months in advance. The whole
tax system, with its varied times of
payment and the different funds and
tayes IN he con idered show ., rum,
bersome and expensive method OF do
ing business, and is most inconveni-
ent for the taxpayer.
The realtors have from year to
year and from legislature to leRisla-
ture undertaken to readjust these diff
hcutes, but have not succeeded
farther than few years ago
through the Real Estate exchange
it was brought about that taxes
should all be paid to a common treas
urer and at a common office.

Oil Companies Pay Well
For Filling Station Locations

The public is impressed with the
price that the oil companies are will
ing to pay for locations for gas sta
tons. Two valuable corners have
recently been sold for this purpose at
$4,000, the last purchase being by
the Standard Oil company, in
Kountze Reserve, at Nineteenth and
Howard streets, sold through Turkey
for that figure.
Automobile owners are asking
themselves whether they are having
to pay for these valuable corners by
the increased price OF gas" or wheth-
er the rapidly increasing sales and
smaller profits are what makes posi-
bic the purchase of corners that run
into the $4,000 in cost.

DIGS UP $1,000 IN KETTLE
Wisconsin Farmer DISCOVERIES Gold in
Iron Pot Under Ground.

Seven thousand dollars in gold was
the treasure John Rugowski, truck
farmer, found hidden two feet under
ground while working in his garden
near Manitowoc, Wis.
Rugowski struck an old iron kettle
with shovel, and, digging it up, care
lessly cast it aside, when he spied the
gllttering money.
Now the question arises to whom
does the money belong, because
Rugowski is only a tenant on the
farm. The property is owned by the
estate of the late John Meyer, which
is still being settled. Heirs of the
estate claim the treasure, but Rugow-
ski intimates that possession is nine
points of law. and whoever gets the
money from him will have trouble.
For years the farm was owned by
a man named Huck, an eccentric
character, who had no faith in banks.
1t is he who is thought to have hidden
the wealth. The property has changed
hands number OF times.-Miwaukee

Interest in real estate circles has
continued to center around Harvey
and Farnam, Twenty-sixth and Thir-
tieth streets. Douglas, Howard and
other east and west streets are also
affected by the same movement
Some interesting stories are told
about the increasing values in these
localities. A business man in the re-
tail line who puts his spare money as
fast as he gets it into real estate
in 1906 paid $1,000 for an improved
property in this neighborhood and it
is now being offered with fair pros
pect of sale for $4,000.

Ruth suddenly came out of her

Frank looked startled and Ruth ut

against Franks coat.

More nonsense" snapped H. Hedge
with a look of annoyance. How
