Whitehall Purchase Is Considered a ‘Good Buy’
*•*
*•*
-I* • *1*
*•+
New City Park Is Sought on West Hunter Road
Real Estate Men See Wisdom rn
the Kress Store Transaction,
Which Sets New Record—Cen
tral Leases Are Fast Going Up.
Hugh Richardson’s Good Buy.
There are several reasons why real
estate men consider' the purchase
of 39-41 Whitehall by Hugh Richard
son a good bu.. In tfie first place,
the property pays an income of near
ly 5 1-2 per cent. The annual rental
is $19,000, and the cost was $357,000,
which makes this a .053219 per cent
Investment. Not many properties as
f*afe as the Kress double store yield
a better return. That Is, not many
properties of the larger kind. The
rent bill Is the first Item of expense
that the store manager considers.
Lights come next with other
things following. The rent must tie
paid promptly, and in any schedule
of prices on goods the merchant
thinks first of the amount that he
must pay out for floor space. The
landlord gets his monthly check regu
larly. If he owns stocks or other
paper he may miss this regular “divi •
•lend.” A large mill may defer divi
dends in order to Increase equip
ment. In the meantime the stockhold
er must live. He Is paying the grocer
and the butcher just the same. Ren
tals from a good downtown store
proposition will enable him to do it
—provided he has a good store in
addition to stocks.
In the second place, 39-41 Whitehall
is In the heart of the local rent.-l
shopping district. It can’t slip back.
Its future is assured. Adjoining es
tablishments like Itself, are there to
stay. The plan to bridge over the
railroad tracks and convert the waste
space Into rent-paying property will
some day be realized, and then it
won’t be necessary for department
stores and other establishments to
move north across the viaduct. Toe
two sections of the city now so dis
tinct in location and character will
eventually be one.
The Kress property is 42 feet on
Whitehall, and in the front foot com
putation of $8,500, account must be
taken of an equal frontage on South
Broad Street. The depth is 175 feet,
which makes 7,350 square feet, and
the price is therefore a little less than
$49 a square foot.
Hugh Richardson, buyer of the
Kress stores from Eugene Haynes
and J. Carroll Payne, has greatly in
creased his local real estate holdings
in the past few years. Other prop
erties now under his control are -the
southwest corner of Luckie and North
Forsyth Streets; 56 Peachtree Street;
the Scotia Apartments on Peachtree-
opposite the Aragon Hotel; and the
building between Edgewood Avenue
and Houston Street on Ivy Street
formerly occupied by the Franklin
Printing & Publishing company.
There is an interesting story go
ing the rounds, by the way, concern
ing the acquisition by Mr J Richard
son of 45 Peachtree. This was bid
in last fall by E. W. Alfriend for
$167,000 ca-sh. the bids having start
ed at $120,000. 'While the papers in
the transaction were being examin
ed Mr. Alfriend arranged to turn over
the property to Mr. Richardson. He
didn’t draw on his bank for a cent,
but he made a neat sum for his trou
ble—a sum estimated at $5,000 to $10,-
000. Mr. Richardson was later of
fered $200,000 for this property, on
terms, but he shook his head. He's
the kind of investor who believes that
to hold#s to have!
* * *
Leases Going Up.
Just a minute, Mr. Lessee! You
had better provide for future years
and generations by taking a long
time lease at the prevailing market
price! Leases are steadily going up.
In many eases they are doubling and
in one case the price has trebled. This
is true of central property. Thina
of what happened to the Jewelry es
tablishment at 37 Whitehall. It had
been paying $4,000 a year and at the
expiration ,of the lease the landlord
demanded $12,000. The jewelers of
fered $8,000, but this was refused,
so they moved down the street.
The Marcus store on Peachtree near
Auburn Avenue has been Venting for
$375, a month. Presto! now it is
to he $750. For the new tenants!
So with others. Many leases are
due to expire this fall and renewals
at advanced prices will come. Al
so, the long-time lease on central
property seems to he a thing of the
past. Owners are leasin- for five an.1
ten years rather than for fifteen and
twenty. The growth of the city makes
this an economic necessity.

Wednesday’s Auction Pick-ups.
Auction sales are always interest
ing and especially when high-class
property is involved. It was no sur
prise, therefore, to see many prom
inent Atlantans at the sale Wednes
day which E. Rivers conducted in
Peachtree Heights, quarter of a mile
north of Peachtree creek and just
a few steps off Peachtree. Abotn
three hundred peop’ gathered round
Auctioneer Steve R. Johnston a ig
listened to his real estate oratory. It
was not the fault of the auetionec:
that onlv 2 '. out of 42 lots were sold.
Nor was the property other than first-
class. The crowd just didn't “warm
up," for one reason or another,
Mr. Rivers was determined to sell
some of the lots, and this was where
24 likely parcels were picked up.

Campaign Launched to Purchase
Mozley Property of 38 Acres
of Picturesque Ground.
By EVELVN WRENt
The success of the present park
system has determined the citizens
of Atlanta to consider the addition
of another beautiful park to those
which have proved so beneficial to
the city.
The latest move towards this end
is the effort being made to indue
^he city to purchase the Mozley prop
erty situated on West Huntin' Road
near the intersection of Gordon Street
only 2 3-4 minles from the Terminal
Station. This beautiful property
Qpnt^ins 3S.pcre^ of rolling, pictures
que grqumV with e\££y variety of
tree Indigenous to 'the SbuUtcrn soil.
The large J colonial residence with
ninety-foot porch is admirable for a
community house.
Private Park Many Years.
Dr. Mozley ’maintained' this prop
erty as a private park for many years
and it lias pot be§n adlowedlio retro
grade to tiny extent. Provision is
made for two artificial laftfcs and
these could easily be utilized for
bathing purposes.
The historic interest in this section
is a decided point in its favor. Old
batteries used by the Federal army
are ..still intact, on the’ west side,
and the site of tin? old Ezra Church is
on the east. Here were fought the
most terrific battles of the Civil War
and here among the bullets fired by
their ancestors Atlanta’s children
could play in peace and in one of
the most delightful spots of Atlanta
grow to sturdy manhood.
An adequate public park system is
the best protection against vice. Vice
is but misdirected energy. If the
rising generation has the opefi air,
green trees and the beauties of na
ture to enjoy, vice would have i
hard fight and lose. Is it not the
most appropriate use for the battle
ground where their fathers fought
valiantly for their cause?
With Atlanta's growth comes the
immediate need of acreage /or the
continuation of her splqndrd pauk
system. This piece of property can
be obtained at probably the lowest
rate Atlanta will ever experience. It
is an opportunity to prepare for tho
future when the city will look in vain
for suitable park acreage.
The people aj*e much in earnest as
Is shown by petitioners in the first
and seventh wards. Citizens of oth
er wards have joined in the move-
mint, realizing that it is the only
available property of its size and
adaptability that can be purchased at
a wholly reasonable price.
Four Blocks From Car.
This property is located but four
blocks from the end of the Walker-
West View car line and one mi^e
from the end of West Hunter ear
line, which Is to be extended to run
by the property, as will the proposed
Greensferry line.
The 'people in West End are en
thusiastic about the proposition and
are making every effort to have the
purchase of the^property made by the
city. They point out that this sec
tion of the city has been neglec ted in
the way of parks, and that this idea
has been prevalent is 'demonstrated
by the fact that thousands of signa
tures have b* i en attached t peti
tions which have been circulated,
urging the City Council to buy the
property.
Sever il members of the Park Board
are in favor of the plan and there is
every indication that it will have the
approval of the entire Board at its
next meeting. The real work will
begin before* the Finance Committee
of Council in roder to get an appro
priation.
Many members of Council have ex
pressed their hearty approval of the
movement and have declared their
determination to assist in every way
to make it a succe*«3. Those ac
quainted with real estate values in
sist that the price asked by the heirs
owning the property is a v ry rea
sonable one, and one expert has point
ed out that the Fame amount of land
the North si<D\%\vo;iid cost a quar
ter of a million dollars.
Interesting Features of Growth
Pointed Out by Will S. Ansley,
Well Known Realty Man.
Nearly 200 new homes have been
built in Decatur in the past two
years; the value averaging about
$5,000 per "house; the taxable value
of property on a 60 per cent basis is
$2,025,000; there are two banks and
a newspaper, 14 miles of sewers, 8
miles < f paved streets, /7 miles of
concrete sidewalks, school facilities
second to none, and other things of
which Decatur and DeKalV County
citizen 5 are justly proud. These are
the figures of Will S. Ansley, who
lias his real (state business in At
lanta but his home in Decatur; and
Mr. Ansley does not hesitate to
recommend Decatur as a place in
which to live, as witness:
‘‘I^ecatur is the most remarkable
suburb of- Atlanta, and it has already
outstripped Atlanta in the percen
tage or growth.
"In 1900 the population of Decatur
was 1,400, in 1910 it was 2.600, and
to-day it is nearly 4,000. In other
words, In less than 3 years it has
gained more people than in the 10
years from 1900 to 1910. According
to statistics from the clerk’s office,
in the last two years there have been
185 new houses erected in Decatur,
not counting stores and improve
ments at Agnes Scott College, and
the cost, of these places was from
$1,000 to $12,000, and the average
cost about $5,000. The present tax
able value of the property on a 60
per cent basis of value is $2,025,000.
The churches and schools are exempt.
The tax rate is $1.15.
Tennis Club’s Influence.
"Notwithstanding the fact that De
catur had two car linos prior to 1907,
and had a normal growth, it was jiot
until after that time that it took on
new life. About *907 the Decatur
Tennis Club was organized, and
among the members were some of the
most prominent and influential citi
zens of Decatur. This club held
monthly meetings and at one of these
meetings it was decided that Deca
tur must have waterworks and sewV
ers. Out of the membership of the
club two members were elected to
Council. Then bonds were advo
cated to build the necessary improve
ments. The bonds carried and the
waterworks was installed and the
sewers put in. Since that time two
more issues of bonds have been
made, the bonded debt now being
$84,000, and $25,000 sold, !%it not yet
Issued. Out of the last bond issue
money a ten-grade public school
building has'been erected and a new
school is to be built at once which
will cost $22,000. The first school
was erected three years ago and the
new one has become a necessity.
"When the extension of the limits
of the city of Atlanta was being con
sidered the Atlanta committee re
quested that a committee from De
catur be appointed to discuss the
matter of annexing Decatur. This
committee was appointed and in tak
ing up the matter with the people at
that time it was apparent that they
would be willing to come into the
city. It would have paid Atlanta much
better if this could have been
arranged, than to have absorbed some
of tho territory which was admitted.
The limits of Atlanta and the limits
of Decatur are only about 1V4 miles
apart. The same Ponce DeLeon Ave
nue going through Decatur’s beau
tiful suburb, Druid Hills, runs right
through the center of Decatur and is
passed up to be paved.”

But the Stranger Must First Be
Converted to City Idea, Says
Ralph 0. Cochran.
Strangers coming to Atlanta to In
spect property must be converted by
the real estate man. declares Ralph
O. Cochran, of tho realty firm that
bears his naifte. The money requir
ed to buy 50 feet of semi-central
property in Atlanta will buy hun
dreds and often thousands’ of acres
of property in the rural districts.
'Phis presents a hard situation for tht
dealer, but he is meeting It. Even
as he feels the value of the smaller
parcel he must make his prospect
feel it likewise.
"It is more difficult for strangers
to conditions in Atlanta to see anu
appreciate value than it is for those
who live here and have become ac
customed to rapid growth and so-
called high prices,” asserts Mr. Coch
ran. "Those of us who are in th»
rial estate business meet with non
residents every day who are inspect
ing Atlanta real estate. At first the
latter are oF the opinion that values
are too high—that prices are ficti
tious. Furthermore, it usually takes
some time to make a trade with such
buyers—they feel that their money
should go further. Some lime ago I
sold a celtain party, who lives away
from here, a piece of property. He
was anixous to buy something In At
lanta. He made several trips here,
but finally he cflme back and said. ‘I
have <’ome to Atlanta to buy^sbme
property to-day.’ His fears had beer,
allayed, and he was theneeforih a
booster for Atlanta real estate.
» Rating of Property.
"A piece of property in Atlanta, say
fifty feet frontage that will sell for
$30,000, looks mighty small to the
man in the village or the country,
where this amount of money will buy
hundreds of acres and sometimes
several thousand This prejudice
must be met by the dealer, who
knows better than the prospect how
much of fallacy there is In the lat
ter’s argument.
"Semi-central pioperty does not al
ways pay a very large return on the
investment. Tak* a vacant lot or a
lot with an old house on it that pays
nothing or practically nothing. What
is there about it that creates such
I irge value? It is the uses to which
it can De put now or in the future
years. The value of property is not
controlled particularly by the im
provements now on it. There is a
considerable amount of central real
estate that now pays only a small
percentage on the investment. But
think of th»* possibilities of this class
of property; wha' -an be put on it
nnd the large n venue that can be
derived therefrom! With Atlanta’s
splendid growth the future is as
sured.”
