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 the first place,
the property pays an income of near
ly 6 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 is
safe 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 be
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
dend.” 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 m
addition to stocks.
In the second place, 39-41 Whitehall
Is in the heart of the local rental
shopping district. It can’t slip back.
Its future is ..ssured. 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. T.ie
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 Edgewocd 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. Richard
son of 45 Peachtree. This was bid
in last fall by E. W. Alfriend for
$167,000 cash, 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 is 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 cases they are doubling and
in*one case the price has trebled. This
is true of central property. Think
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 renting for
$375, a month. Presto! now it is
to be $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 centra!
property seems to be a thing of the
past. Owners are leasin'- for five and
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 hlgh-clu3s
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. Aboiu
three hundred peop' gathered round
Auctioneer Steve R. Johnston a in
listened to his real estate oratory. It
was not the fault of the auctioneer
that only 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.
Closet to the “bargain counter” were
W H. Adkins. Sam A. Pegram, F. R.
Graham, W. R. Bean, H. J. Fear and
J Regensteln. Mr. Adkins snapped
an a lot on Peachtree Way, half a
block from Peachtree, at $35 a front
foot, the highest price per foot of the
This lot has a sunken garden tn
its southwest corner. Mr. Adkins like
wise took a perfectly-shaped knoll
at the southeast corner of Potomac
Avenue and I.akeview Avenue. 247
feet, at $15 a foot, and he got a fine
poplar tree and other trees with a $25-
a-foot lot on Peachtree Way near
Boulevard. The landscape idea seem
ed to prevail generally. F. R. Gra
ham. of the ('has. P. Glover Real Es
tate agency, picked a "sunken gar
den” effect in a 270-foot lot which
' cost him $22 a foot.

Campaign Launched to Purchase
Mozley Property of 38 Acres
of Picturesque Ground.
By EVELYN WREN.
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
the city to purchase the Mozley prop
erty situated on West Hunter Road
near the intersection of Gordon Street
only 2 3-4 minies from the Terminal
Station. This beautiful property
contains 38 acres of rolling, pictures
que ground YVith every variety of
tree Indigenous to the Southern soil.
The large 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 “jpark for many years
and it has not been allowed to retro
grade* to any extent. Provision is
made for two artificial lakes 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,
-find the site of the 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 open air,
green trees and the beauties of na
ture to enjoy, vice would have a
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
imYrtediate need of acreage for the
continuation of her splendid park
system. This piece of property can
be obtained at probably the lowest
rate Atlanta will ever experience. Jt
is an opportunity to prepare for the
future when the city will look in vain
for suitable park acreage.
The people are Ynuch in earnest as
is shown by petitioners in the first
and seventh wards. Citizens of oth
er wards have Joined in the move
ment, 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 mile
from the end of West Hunter car
line, which is to be extended to run
by the property, as will the proposed
Greensferry line.
The people in West End are en
thusiast/ about t.he 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 neglected in
the way of parks, and that this idea
has been prevalent Is demonstrated
by the fact that thousand> of signa
tures have been attached t peti
tions which have been circulated,
urging the City Council, to buy the
property.
Several members of the Park Board
are in favor of the plan and there is:
every indication that it will have tin
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 he irty approval of the
movement arid have declared thei/
determination to assist in every way
to make it a success. Those ac
quainted with real estate values in
sist that the price asked by the heirs-
owning the property is a very rea
sonable one, and < ne expert h^s point
ed out that the Fame amount of land
on the North > b ' ould cost a quar
ter of a million dollars.

Interesting Features of Growth
Pointed Out by Witl S. Ansley,
Well Known Realty Man.
Nearly 200 new homes have been
built iri Decatur in the past two
years; tlie 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 af paved streets, 17 miles of
concrete sidewalks, school facilities
second to none, and other things of
which Decatur and DeKalb County
citizens are justly proud. These are
the figures of Will S. Ansley, who
has his real estate 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:
“Decatur 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 iast two years there have been
185 new houses erected in Decatur,
not i 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 prdbent 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 lines prior to 1907,
and had a normal growth, it was not
until after that time that it took on
new life. Arbout 1907 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 se\\V
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 df bonds have been
made, the bonded debt now being
$84,0u0, and $25,000 sold, l%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 the territory which was admitted.
The limits of Atlanta and the limits
of Decatur are only about 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
I passed up to be paved."

Strangers coming to Atlanta to in
spect property must be convert* d by
the real cstat* man, declares Ralph
O. Cochran, of the realty firm that
bears his name. 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.
This presents a hard situation for the
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 the
r<al 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 time ago I
sold a certain 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 cam* back and said, ‘1
have come to Atlanta to buy some
property to-day.’ His fears had beer,
allayed, and he was thenceforth 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 property does not al
ways pay a very large .return on the
investment. Take 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
large value? It is the uses to which
it can lie put now or in the future
years. The value of property is not
controlled particularly by the im
provements now on St. There Is a
considerable amount of central real
estate that now pays only a small
percentage on th*- investment. But
think of the possibilities of this class
of property; whai -an be put on it
and the large revenue that can be
derived therefrom! With Atlanta’s
splendid growth the future Is as
sured."
