TENSIONS
WEEK

Negotiations for new store loca-
tons were a feature of our opera
tions last week. They originated
on inquiries from resident and
nonresident parties. The contin-
uous expansion of the business dis
trict should stimulate owners Of
close-in property to build, or to re-
model buildings to meet the de-
mand. This class of property
should also prove attractive to in
vestors.
Inquiry for newly constructed
houses was especially strong last
week. Many people who have
made temporary housing arrange
ments are being forced to look for
permanent Accommodations. The
supply of new homes is still far
short of the demand. There should
be more building activity along
this line.
We have made several resales
of property in the automobile dis
trict and also in the Country CLUB
district, which represented sub
stantial profits for the vendors.
This is a good line on the increas-
ing strength of the realty market.
Central Park and Fairfield con-
tinue to go strong.
We are receiving out-of-town
inquiries for close-in industrial
sites with good railroad connec
tions.
