TO ERECT BUILDING ON PATTON AVENUE STORK AND OFFICIO IUILDIXU oppositf. I'osTomci:. C. tl. Honrs Buy Proiierly Next to T. P. Young's Store and Will Have Structure Kreeted. VALUABLE PROPERTY EFFECTED BY ORDER Property I'nder Will of Ite Captain Faff Goes to Mm. Mnlloy, His Daughter. A Supreme court decision effecting the title to approximately $100,000 worth of real estate in this city was handed down Saturday in Raleigh when the court sustained a recent 1 judgment entered by Judge T. B. : Flnley, ot the Buncombe superior court, in the case of Malloy against Acheson. i The decision Interprets the will of the late Captain Fagg so that Mrs. T. F. Malloy is possessor in fee sim ple of certain property here, Instead of having only a life estate in the property as had previously been the impression In legal circles for a num ber of years. It Is understood that the sale of some of the property could not be made because of the clouded Asheville Is to have another large store and office building on l'atton avenue, C. II. Honess having pur chased from Henry Bcrger, tho lot adjoining the building now occupied by T. P. Young, yesterday announced that he would start tho erection of the new building at an early dHte, to cost around (10.000. The location of this property Is very desirable, being Just opposite the fed eral building on l'atton avenue, and It Is highly probable that the loca tion will be. selected by many profes sional men as convenient office apace. Mr. Honess aald last night that he contemplated making the building three stories at first, however tha architects now planning the structure are taking Into consideration the ad visability of making the first walls of sufficient thickness to stand several more stories, in case such a course Is decided upon. The first floor will be a store space, and the other floors will be fitted up into offices and suites of offices. Questioned as to whether he would move into the new building when it is completed Mr. Honess said that he had not as yet considered that mat ter In that it would be several months before the new building would be ready for occupancy. , Details of the plana of the structure aro now being worked out and as yet Mr. Honess has not definitely decided upon the material, and several other things in reference to the building, but after the tentative plans are com pleted that he would decide whether or not they would be best and that he would make a definite announce ment concerning the slse ot the new building, and other details. title, however, this Supreme court decision makes It plain that Mrs. Mal loy may sell the property If she so desires. Not only land now held by Mrs. Malloy is effected but at considerable amount of real estate now In the hands of other individuals is effected by the recent Supreme court decision, which disrupted the accepted idea so long adhered to here Attorneys Mar tin, Rollins and Wright prepared and won the case.
