Replatting Between Irvington and
J Rose City1 Park, is Made Neo
I essary by Street Faults.
1 What is probably the largest game
of solitaire eter played in Portland
real estate was brought to art end!
last week when the Title & Trust
company del
vered i a deed to the f
Oregon ian Pihlishin
company for
its lots j in
Way n ewood.
the "' new : addition : of
platting of thje old addition of Iludt i
Bona, ajrvieWf iueauuw x i r iv aim
Town of Wayne, situated between
Irvington and Ttose City Park and
between Knott and Fremont streets,
into the hew addition.
u Ueplatting of the original additions
was necessitated by faulty street con
nections with ) Irvington on, the west,
Alameda and 'Rose City Park on the
north and east, as well as the irregu
larity of the Vacated additions relative
to each other. I The plattings were made
several years also and in spite of the in
convenience of their . arrangement , a
large number of lots were eold. ,
LATOCT MASKED -BEAUTY -,
Later It becime evident that the lay
out of the streets hot only marred the
beauty of the -whole district and occa
sioned no end jof trouble to residents of
that section off the. city,, but that the
paving and upkeep of the thoroughfares
as platted, wotkld add "unnecessary bur
dens on property owners.
, To effect a fepeedy remedy owners' of
property . in the old additions deeded
their, holdings jto the. Title & Trust com
pany, to be held' by it w-hiie'the street
extension division of the department o'f
public works, tinder C. TS. Fisher,' worked
out the systeni of streets best connect
ing up With fhe surrounding' districts.
When these streets had been, laid out
the Title & Trust company started on
the solution jof the problem 'of an
equable distribution of the lands in the
new addition among the holders of the
old. tracts." ; ; ' ;
LARGEST TASK OF KI3J
: It is Improbable, . according to offi
cials of the Title & Trust company, if a
similar task of equal magnitude has
ever before been undertaken by a pri
vate corporation or outside of a court.
The main question- involved .- was., the
portioning to each owner his, share of
the land under the new street system,
in a . guaranty as nearly equal to
former holdings as the new platting
would allow. ! As far as possible the
identical ground was returned to the
owner, but in (many cases it was neces
sary to alter ' locations and dimensions
of holdings. " j ': i,
- All incumbrances on the land within
the vacated - jareas were removed, . for
under the old Knglish law "period of a
moment' all parcels were free and clear.
The mortgages and city assessments
against-, each holder's ! property were
lifted and carried to his new ground by
the Title & Trust company. This trans
action brought out a -touch of individual '
unity formed ; by the company with the
property holders and used throughout as
the game progressed, . with the' moves
made silently by the department of title
insurance , pondering over each indi
vidual property right.
MAXT ADVANTAGES RESULT I
The replatting has resulted in many
advantages td all holders of land in the
addition. The new system of streets
provides forf sweeping curves to the
streets leading off Knott street to. the
north, thereby giving to the district a
beautiful appearance as viewed from
that main thoroughfare. Inasmuch as
many -of the property owners in the new
addition received-back larger areas of
ground, than j they held under the old
plattings. and each of them received
some advantage by the replatting gen
eral satisfaction is expressed with the
work accomplished by the Title & Trust
company. j

ROSENBERG LEASES
Four-Story Store Building at
Third and Morrison Taken for
10-Year Period by Concern.
One of the most important leases
of downtown property negotiated
during the past month involves' the
transfer of the Aliskey building to
the Roseburg Coat & Suit company
for a 10 year period at a gross ren
tal of approximately $500,000. The
deal was closed Friday in the of
fices of the K. E. Taylor company.
The- Aliskey buildinsr occuoies the
quarter block at the-'northwest corner of
Third and Morrison streets. It is a four
story brick , and concrete structure at
present tenanted by 11 retail stores on
the ground floor and 54 offices and
three lodge halls in the upper stories.
The, property is -owned by the Nedra
company, a holding corporation for the
Ladd & Tilton bank.
During the negotiation of the lease the
Nedra company was represented by C,
P-. Woodworth and E. W. Capen, presi
dent and secretary of the concern, and
by Isaac D. Hunt. and Preacott, attor
neys for the Ladd & Tilton bank. .The
deal was handled by Fred E. Tayjorof
the F. Ev Taylor company, M. C. white
appearing for Jacob Rosenberg, presi
dent of the Rosenberg Coat & Suit com
pany. - ,
The Rosenberg company has been op
erating here for the past three years
and owns the Fampus women's apparel
store in the Medical building, the Grand
in the Morgan building and the Liberty
store at 144 Third street. According to
the head of the concern it is intended to
consolidate the Liberty and Grand into
one store when the Rosenberg company
opens at its new location.
The lease becomes effective February
1, 1921, and the Rosenberg company
of the
corner, and
the entire basement. Extensive alter
ations will be made to the interior of the
building. The store will be located in
one of the best retail centers of the city,
being at the intersection of two important
west side thoroughfares and adjacent to
the approach to the Morrison street
bridge.
The rental on this leasehold compares
favorably with prices recently received
fer locations at: Broadway and Wash
ington and Sixth and Washington and
is a fair index of increasing property
values in the west side retail district.
Sites Sold to Employes
; Gold Beach. May 29. The C. & O.
Lumber company has opened up the
townsite of Brookings and is disposing
of building sites to employes of the mill
