SURVEY FIRM
is kept BUSY

Business for George G. Schmidt
g. Co., 406 Fidelity Trust Bldg, has
been good during the past year and
prospects for improvement during
the next year are splendid, accord
ing to Schmidt.
The rapid growth Of the city, es-
pecially in the number of new adj
ditions which have been laid of
during the last year and a half, has
meant increased business.
Subdivision work requires the
service of a good civil engineer and
surveyor to run boundary lines and
make other surveys of land areas.
Schmidt is one of the best-trained
engineers in the State. He has sur
veyed a large number of farms
throughout the county, and has
given special attention to farm sur
yeying.
Accuracy In determining bound
airy lines of large tracts Of land is
an important factor, and in order
to be sure Of certain farm aceas
Schmidt has been able to recheck
old boundary lines.
The firm is well equipped with in
struments and other surveying data
to perform the most difficult work.
A large number of real estate firms
have availed themselves Of the serv-
ices of the firm and results have tes-
titled to the efficiency.

Peterman is deToting his atten-
ton generally at this time to the
development of suburban homes
along Twenty-first st. in the 1900
block, an unusually choice suburban
district.
Trend of building has gone north
and east, according to Peterman,
and brides are being interested in

Ey him.
1--WE believe that the general
tendency is to own the small house,
rather than the big rambling house
of a few decades ago." said Peter
man.
"This territory just west Of Emer-
son Ave. where we are offering some
real bargains in home sites is at
tracing widespread interest. 1t is
high and airy out that way. The
transportation facilities are good,

Wall Street Places American
League Champs Above
National Winner.
ODDS STILL MAY RISE
Plenty of New York Money
Flows Around.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE New
York Yankees, champions of the
American League for the fifth time
in seven years, today were listed as
7-to-5 favorites to win the world
series, no matter what team finally
triumphs in the National League
Wall Street betting commissioners
reported thousands of dollars at
those odds would be available before
the end of the week. The flow IF
Yankee money is so strong followers
of Miller Higgins club may be will
ing to place nine dollars to win five.
Veteran baseball men were skep-
teal today, however, as to whether
the Yanks, despite their enormous
lead which enabled them to win the
American League pennant before
mid-September, deserved the ia
vored spot in advance predictions.
Their successes of Tuesday gave
them the pennant.
1t was pointed out that the team
has been able to win only one world
series-that in 1923-of the last four.
in which it was engaged.
The Yanks now are in a position
TO ease up, unless Higgins can keep
them driving in the hope of estab-
fishing new record for games won
