MR. FITZGERALD MAKES STATEMENT Within th* past few day* Dunn has been lh« scene of several land sales Some weir conducted by I^nii Aue tit-u Companies and lor those who desired to sell their land* only, be cause tilery wanted to make other pur iHascs fo> various other miaous Thc.sr lands wars subdivided into i moil acreage and small town lots and were divided tn such a way as to bring the very best price possible and the dividing was dono under tbo parson si supervsion of the owners and la each case the lands brought labs-. Ions prices. These lands that I have, in mind arc the recent sales of the, Mulli- Fleishman |uo|wrty and the* l.utnei Jackson property. The other tract of land sold was that tract ly ing sooth of Dunn. In faot, adjoin ing tbs town and is divided by Ike Dunn- Fsyettcvillo highway. This tnacr. of land contains one hundred .'nd eleven acres and did belong to t •« e-date of T L. Gemkl, and is known throughout fisc four counties a> the incest farm lands to be had. i As has already been said, this land! borders on the south side of the town I •• ’’* b't comes r'gfrt t® within one* blocli of tin- town streets. In fact, six or eight of these streets could have | j---: bccu extended into, or thtough this eotiir (arm. ThU valuable farm was told on the ninth day of November by Uia At lantic Coact Realty Co., for N. A. Townsend and R. L Godwin, coiwnu* sloneis, for tho purpose of bringing about a final settlement end division of the catalc of T. L. Gerald. It ia uot my intention to critic ice anyone for the way toil property wwa sub divide and sold, but ao many of my friends from the country were here that llay ansi have been to see me und wanted to know why it was di vided ansi sold in such a manner. 1 lolsl them Unit I had nothing what ever to do with the selling of the land. Each of those men came here With the full purpose of buying from I»nr to throe seres of this valuable Isnd, but' (he way It was sold they illil not even have an opportunity of my part of it. and went away ilipap isomled nnsl with their money In their pocket*. I have been told that the rntire tract of land brought a fra dollars over thirty-three thousand. If it brought, say thirty-three thou •and dollars, it cost the heir* of the »*h T. L. Gerald joat thirty-throe Hundred dollar* to have it sold, and I tiiink that thirty-three thousand I* 'heap and too cheap for the entin Farm. 1 was utterly astonished when I heard about the way thl* land was divided anil mails the remark Gian that it would not bring within twenty thousand dollar* sold Gils way afj what it would if the streets of die x>*rn of Dunn hail baen run parallel with the plan of G)e town, then divid 'd again making city blocks of twenty >r twenty-live acre* nearest the town ami svIHtsg seventy-five foot ot» with the privilege of taking the in* adjoining or as many a sthe pur dwser wanted at the earn* price. I In-llere that the twenty or twenty-five ^ icret sold In this manner would have brought not le»» than one thousand lollars an aur«. Then have divided iHe remaining part of this land which would haw been eighty or ninety terra. By so continuing the streets into one acre tract* I am quite sure dint there was and would have been enough farmers here that would hare bought from one to Hirer aerc tracts, faying not lrae than five hundred lollars per acre, or per lot, as they would have termed it. If this land hail been *olrt this way I am confid ent that it would have brought enough more to hare paid for the loss in acreage resulting from giving the limit*. In fact, if twanty acres had brought twenty thousand dollars, they would have had left ninety acres that would had to have brought thir teen thousand dollars, and what naan wound Dunn would not ghee thirteen this valuable land, almost in the thriving town of Dunn. Discount all that I have said about the twenty acres bringing twenty thousand and nut that land into one acre tract* or lots and then will be a hundred peo ple out there that will (Ire five Imp lied for ona acru of K, and they will buy from one to three lota each. I rave enough confidence in myoelf to belitve that 1 can make this land bring between forty-five and fifty thousand dollars, if sold as I Have above described. It would only have to bring four hundred a lot to bring forty-four thousand dollar*. Just why this land was not sold in town lota or a port of It, ia certanl.v ggL. —'I i uw^—nam mom li.au 1 run uielei stand, lias rhL I be aid, axil an I luiv# said bt'rors, tharn were taro commituionc r «:ii the real velar i company aall'ng it.
