CO., 62 Peachtree St. AFTER EXODUS OF SALOONKEEPERS Real Estate Men Turn Down Applications For Busi ness Places. Prohibition In the state of Georgia will not empty many place; of busi ness In Atlanta for any gTeat length of lime, according to the views of promi nent real estate and other business men who do business In this city. Although the leases on many of the places of business now occupied by whisky men have not yet been disposed of, the indications at present are that within a short while after the first of January only a few of the less advan tageously located business houses will remain unoccupied. It Is admitted that the rental may not be so large at first, but that they will be rented Is a fore gone conclusion. Two applications for places of busi ness on Broad street by the first of January have already been received by S. B. Turman & Co., the real estate dealers. “These applications,” said Mr. Tur man, "are from wholesale fruit and produce dealers now doing business In south Georgia. They state that they prefer to be located on Broad street, • but as yet we have been unable to se cure places for them. “It Is the opinion of people outside of Atlanta that rents are going to be cheaper after the first of next year, and so long as they entertain that opin ion they are going to make an effort to get located In Atlanta.” That there will not be a vacant whis ky house on Peters street, at least. Is the opinion of J. B. Smith, of the firm of Smith & Higgins, 264 Peters street. “There are about nineteen saloons on Peters street,” said Mr. Smith Thurs day, "and I do not believe that there will be the slightest trouble In rent ing them. I have a little space about ten feet wide adjoining our store which about fifty people have come and In spected with a view to renting. About the only thing It Is good for Is a barber shop, and consequently nobody has ta ken It yet. “I believe that every one of these nineteen stores now occupied by saloon men will be taken by grocery and fur niture dealers In 1908. In times of prohibition there Is a greater demand for these articles and dealers are go ing to get ready to supply the de- mand.” , Just across the street from Mr. Smith’s store Is a' one-story brick building now occupied by a saloon and u restaurant. This building, It Is said, will be torn down and replaced by a handsome two-story brick building which will be used ns a furniture store. On Decatur street, according to Mr. Smith, a building now occupied by a saloon has been eccured and In Its I laco a new bank will be Installed Just ns soon as practicable. GAIN HOME RULE Washington.
