IN THE ROSE QTY Imposing Buildings Planned for Many Down Town Corners Sortie Already in Process of Construction, Excavations Being Made for Others New Structures Are Being Planned : ! Whila the realty 'market during the paat week has not been active except for araall aalea the' building fever haa been particularly noticeable. With the coming of good weather the work on buildings long contemplated haa started In with vigor. The alte for the new Couch building waa made ready during t the week and the actual work for the foundation started. The old building on the Tailing property- at - Fifth and ; Washington streeta was rased In two daye and Lot Q. gwetland will immedi ately' begin" active ' operations on the large handsome modern building to be erected there. The plans of the new (nlne-story-structure for the Portland General Klectrlo company were made f ubllo and they show an Imposing buttd ng that will add much to the architec ture of the city. .., . " 7 " jrrw Tlieatx promised. ', r Possibly the . moat ' Important an nouncement of the week waa that made yesterday .that Charlea Bweeney, - the Spokeno millionaire, who has purchased t- . J Inforced concrete. .The ? new couch bulldlnjr is to be of this style and It win be tbVarst In the city. The possibili ties of such construction is Just being realised and it ia likely that after one such structure Is erected others .will follow, just as haa occurred In Seattle. While making provisions for reinforced concrete the city council should also make arrangements for the Inspection of such work while under way. On ac count of the manner ia, which aucb buildings are constructed an expert is already needed) for an inspector; and whil changing the laws the council should provide for such an .inspector. . Xuck maUroad Work. ' In addition to the good news of the new buildings to be started and the progress being made on .those .under way the week waa full of all kinds of announcements, which mean a greater Portland.- Possibly the most gratify ing of all was the news of the various railroads , on which work has either win and Fred M. Hopkins sold to Henry C. Wolf the Peacher block at Mississippi avenue and Russell street for 114.000. After this sale Mr. Baldwin with F. O. Downing purchased from the Ladd es tate the building known as "the Brown, at Grand and Hawthorne avenues. .The nrlce paid Is not stated. - Apartment houses continue to be built. Permits for several were secured during the week end the most notable among these was the three-story one to be erected at Eighteenth and una streets by P. J. Bingham. It will cost upwards of fll.000. Xoosee Balnf Constructed, ' Operative .builders, also appear to be active. ' Mrs. B. Marhard wtll erect two houses on Upshur street near Twenty- first They will -cost 11.000 each. Three two-atory houses will be built by H. t. Mclnnes at Kast Fifteenth and Anlceny. They will be of colonial design and will cost $1,000 dach. Mrs. D. Duback will build two houses, oosting 11.000 each, at Park and Jackson streets. Two cot- . New Horn of F. G. Smith, 657 Schuyler Street. . .heavily of Portland realty, had formed . a combination - with - John F. Cordray and will build on the Dekum homestead - - at Thirteenth and Morrison streets .a ' handsome, modern theatre. The plana fbr thla structure, it is said, will call . . . for five stories and the - amusement '. "place wll cover the entire block, thus giving - Portland hall . in which : the largest kind of convention can be held. For some time there have been reports of what Mr. Sweeney Intended to do - - with the Dekum homestead but that re . gardlng the theatre la " evidently au thentic. At one time it waa said that the ground had been secured by the Roman Cathollo church and a large ca thedral would be erected thereon. Such a theatre as Is evidently planned will ; no doubt be a good investment, for . Portland is without a theatre building '.. large enough for big conventions. Wrw Waablngtoa Street SaUdla. In addition to the new- building at " Fifth and Washington streets another - is to be erected in 'the same vicinity. Captain D. E. Buchanan having secured permit to erect a modern office bulld ing on the -south side of Washington treat between Fourth and Fifth. It will join the SwetJand building. This structure of Captain Buchanan's will be alz stories in height, of brick, and will J of the slow burning type. : The first floor will be stores and the upper ones wUl be divided into offices. The build ' ing will cost somewhere in the neigh borhood of 170,000. --;. v : ' 7: Kay Ohaage atnOdlag tMWM. .:t --- - With alfwihese new buildings coming In It is gratifying to note that the city ; council will probably make changes in the existing building laws, something that haa been badly needed. It wet rather surprising to many that the regu lations contained nothing regarding re started or will atart within a few weeks. These Include . the Coos bay road, long needed! the road into central Oregon, and the Salem and Willamette valley line. With all these ljnes being con structed Portland will advance more rapidly than aver, for they win develop territory, especially the Una-to Coos fbay and the one to central Oregon, that haa long been Idie." "r. Packing Xonses to Ba Built. ' Another piece of good newa wss that the construction houses on the east side will Start within SO days. It is said these packing plants will give employ ment to 1.000 hands, which will be a big atride in Industrial Portland. . With the coming of these packing - houaes there will be other lines, therefore the indications are most excellent ' for a large and healthy lnduatrial develop ment within the next year, in fact the outlook ia more encouraging than - it haa 'been for several months. - The dinner of the Portland realty board the other evening- waa a great success and possibly the address which had In it the beat practical uggeatlon was that of County Assessor 81gler. His remarks about the city's low- tax rate of 1.1 mills was evidently taken home by every real estate man and it is likely that a number of the real estate operators will have thla Information put on their letterheads and thus spread It broadcast that Portland haa the lowest city tax rate of any city on the Pacifla coast. Mr. 81glera auggeation that the tax rate should be widely advertised is a very good one and one of much prac tical value. If the real estate men calf attention to It. in their correspondence with eastern Investors it will no doubt have much weight In, ' Influencing cap ital toward-Portland. 1 111 r r i p Among the larger sales of the week were two on the eaat aide.
