AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA, GA.
Buy Real Estate and Have a Safe
and Sure Profit Investment
(By C. V. McAULIFFE.)
The stimulus to Augusta real estate
caused “by the Inception of the levee
protection work has Increased and
will continue to advance values all
over the whole city as the work pro
gresses and we are assured of freedom
from futre inundations.
Broad street values are not only in
creasing rapidly, but there is compara
tively little property on the market
at all.
This is quite a change from former
conditions when it was more or less
difficult to secure buyers.
Indeed several parcels on the 1200
block of Broad have changed hands
three or four times in the past year.
This is a very healthy condition and
is a positive indication of the fact that
the investing public is gradually but
surely transferring their activities to
realty.
The erection of the two sky-scrapers
has created quite a feeling of optimism
and there are undoubted Indications
that these structures will be followed
by others.
The cross streets are now beginning
parts are so heavy that, the derrick
has to be employed to lift them.
There are now 150 people at work
on the Empire, and work has been
started by the steel workers on the
tower, which will be four stories
above the top of the 13th story. Tile
derrick In the northern half of the
building lias been taken down and
only one derrick will be required to
pue up the tower since it is much
smaller than the main building.
Superintendent Yopp, with his fire
proofing work, lias started on the
fifth floor and is progressing very
rapidly. He lias a considerable force
of men and is carrying on this work
so last that it will be only a matter
of a few weeks before all of the fire
proof flooring will have been laid.
The brick work is now proceeling
rapidly between the fourth and fifth
floors and General Foreman Frank
X. Pieters says that he expects to
go up two floors a week witti tne
brick. The swinging scaffolds by
which the brick layers pull them
selves up to the top of the building
gradually as they go on with the
work, are great conveniences and
also a great safeguard against acci
dents. The old fashioned way is to
build the scaffolds cut of tlie win
lows and many persons have been
killed through Tailing scaffolds.
Concrete is being poured into the
cellar of the building and it will re
quire 500 >ards to finisli the cellar
floor. It has been made absolutely
waterproof.
Foreman Bergman expects to have
his 35 ste-d workers away from Au
gusta within the next two or three
weeks as the steel on the tower will
he finished by that time, and all of
the riveting done.
Supt. Albert Crane, Architect G.
Lloyd Preacher and Supervising Ar
chitect Spivey are all immensely
pleased with the progress of work on
the Empire The building Is to be
one of the most magnificent in this
entire section of the South and Au
gustan* view the work on it with tre
mendous pride. Indeed, they look
»on the Empire as the most cherish
ed possession Augusta has. The i eo
ple of this city will be glad when the
headquarters of the company are
moved here in October and the Em
pire becomes really an Augusta in
stitution. The general offices of the
company will occupy an entire floor.

to get active, and particularly Eighth,
Ninth, Twelfth and Thirteenth are
showing quite an appreciation in val
ues—indeed it would be a good thing
if Eighth and Ninth streets streets,
contiguous to Broad, were made a re
tail shopping section. It would serv
to ,s j our city a more metropolitan
appearance.
The southern section of the city has
developed greatly In an industrial way,
and the recent purchase of twenty
five acres on the Savannah road by
one of the largest manufacturing fer
tilizer plants in the country, means
that very shortly we will have a huge
factory added to our industries.
Of course, the great development In
Summerville and Monte Sano is known
to all and it is also a remarkable fact
that sub-divisions recently placed on
the market are all practically sold
out
If our investors generally could be
induced to operate exclusively in Au
gusta real estate where the invest
ment is safe and sure, our city would
grow by leaps and bounds.

FACTS
40,000 Hydro-Electric horse power has been
developed at Stevens Creek, and is now available
for industries in Augusta and this section.
Industries can increase the quantity and quali
ty of their products, decrease the cost of their pow
er, and at the same time relieve themselves of the
expense of a power plant by using Stevens Creek
Hydro-Electric power.
THIS POWER DEVELOPMENT MAKES
IT POSSIBLE FOR AUGUSTA TO HOLD OUT
TO NEW INDUSTRIES GREATER INDUCE
MENTS THAN ANY OTHER CITY IN THIS
SECTION.
