Theif is at present more desirable real estate for sale in this city than there has been in yoars. !*rloes are low and there ftaa disposition to sell bat purchasers are
,k
acarce. There arc many pieces of p^rop«rty offered for sale bnt transaction^ are slow* Investors do not seem to inclined to put their surplus cash Into realty.
A
real estate man, speaking of
the prospects, said he considered them oxeellent. He expects good market next year and piedlet* more activity than there has been for a long time. Li'frurlng ths close of the year real estate matters are always quiet but an awakening is expected to take place before ^ring.
An amusing incident is told of a well fknown bachelor of the city. He was out riding in the northern part of town and raa on his way back to the city. A lashing wivlow stopped him and enfgaged him in conversation. He Is posseed of quite a snug fortune, sufficient-
Urge to lire in plenty and enjoy life the remainder of his days. He would lite a desirable catch for any of the widows or girls. The widow in question iked after a time if "he wers going [down town." He replied affirmatively kind she added that she was bound for the city, snd would ride with him If he tad no objections. "Indeed I haveob[teetiona." said he. "If you wers to ride hprith me, gossip would have engaged ritbin week and 1 don't relish llgtirkng in any snch light." The young widwas completely •queleM. IMM took street car for Main street.
Bids for street lighting were received by the city council lastTuesdayevening. The Electric Light Co., which has lighted the streets for three years in a most satisfactory manner, proposes to furnish this light for three years more at a rate of $16,978-50 per year, or #73.50 per lamp per year. Since the present cost is $88.33 per lamp per year, this bid is $14.83 less per lamp per year than the present cost of lighting. The Gas Company proposes to do the work at much less figures, and now the question for the council to decide at the next meeting i» whether it will pay more for the better light, or in the interest of economy return gas light.
By a vote which lacked but one of being unanimous the Congregational church has extended a call to Rev. A. 8. Hayt, D. D., of Watertown, N. Y., to become pastor of the church here, at a sal ary of $2,000. Dr. Hayt preached two sermons last Sunday and met the people at asocial gathering the next evening, making a most favorable impression both In and out of the pulpit. Before his coming and without his knowledge, a very thorough and satisfactory inves tlgation was made of his record in Wat ertown where be has been pastor of a Presbyterian church for eleven years. He is about 45 years of age and has a family of three daughters, one about grown. His wife has been desd several years.
The new post office building will not be occupied until the first of February. It was the intention to remove to the new quarters by the first of the year but this was found impossible and the change was deferred a month later. Postmaster Regan has received notice that the building will be ready for occupancy by February first, and prepara Hons will be made to vacate the present quarters next month. The new lockboxes for the new lobby have arrived and have been put in. They are located near the Cherry street entrance to the corridor. The finishing touches are nearly completed. A Uoor has been put in the garret and some work has been done in the basement. The exterior walls have been cleaned and the building from the outside looks as If it had bad its face washed."
There are still quiet negotiations golug on for securing the piano manufactory from the east. No definite statement will be made public until the arrangements aro completed for its re tnoval to this city. There Is every reason to believe that the establishment will be secured. In the event the plant is located here the city will be materially benefitted. The works omploy a large number of skilled workmon, who could not bo found In this city. In consequence they will be brought from the East. It will require fully 200 skilled mechanics apd much other labor which can be employed here. The manufactory is an extensive concorn and means considerable to this city. The location of the plant has not been decided upon. Much of the wood which will be used in the shops grows in abundance in this vicinity and a new market will thus be opened up. The reason assigned for the removal is that tho materials are now purchased In the West, shipped East and the manufactured products sent to the West for sale. Pianos can be manufactured here much cheaper than at the present location of the plant.
The Democratic council is confronted by a number of grave questions. To start with tho first thing to be taken Into consideration is the fact that the city is in a bad financial condition, another toan of $25,000 having been call ed for at tho meeting of council on Tuesday night last. Mayor Kolsem for the second time called the attention of the council to the expensive way in which the city's sflalrs are being conducted. The mayor probably does not want the renontlnation and feels at liberty to warn the members of the city board against extravagance, The streets and bridges committee made a report upon the paving of Main street from the river to Ninth street. On the report the different pavements were discussed. It was recommended thatasewer be bullion Main, the estimated cost of the work being $20,000. The construction would be very expensive and the estimate is cons id ered a low But the question is, how is the sewer to be built when the city is far beyond the legal limit of her Indebtedness? The prospects are not the best for the betterment of the finances in the near future, for there are other expenses which will have to be met. The paving of Main street is needed but it will be some time before the work can be done. 8SS&A TIOX OF THE SEASON
