The Class of Tenants Who Can Pay $500 per Year House-Rent, The Best Position for n Resi- dence---The Y’ roposed Land-Piracy. Transfers for the Week. It would scem that if anything less than a financial panic would check the ardor of specti- Iation in real estato it would be a declino in the thermometer to 8 or 10 below zero, and the wind at the same time blowing a gale, as it has the past week, over the blank premises that mako up the suburbs of Chicago. We do not find, howerer, that such has been the resulf. People who buy lots in the outskirts of the city have the oxamplo bofore them of what transfor- metions have been mado by the improvement of streots and the building of Louses in all parts of thecity. Thoy romember that it is scarcely moro than ten years since some really fine resi- dence quarters of the presont were as bleak and uninviting as the prairic lots around the Wost Side parks or south of Fiftieth street. Thoy understand that as long as Europe sends her annusl Lundreds of thou- eands of emigrants to this conatry, and as long s population moves Westward, Chicago will continue to grow, and {he story of tho past will bo repeated in the oxperience of the future. Transactions have been light this weok, as they slways aro at thid season of the year, but tho most conservative calculators can give no reason why the activity will not boas frcat in ast ten thd spring as it has each spring for tho ears. ‘We hear of ounc salo of 5 ecres just west of Douglns Park at £4,000 per acre, and Messrs. NMarshall & Dickinson have just sold a tract of 80 acres 214 miles west of Central Paik, boing tho E. 24 of 8. W. ¢ of Sec. 17, Town 39, at 8675 per acre. « WASHINGTON HEIGHTS. Between Feb. 10 and Dec. 31, 1872, there were 461 trausfors of property’ at Washington ;‘s%ighw' the aggregateconsidoration boing #¥32,- MONEY ON MORTGAGE LOANS is becoming more abundant. Wo hear of in- stances_of parties who were unable to negotinfe leans during Docember, but who have done g0 without difficulty since then, and it may be safe- Iy announcea that the disbureement of £25,000,- 000 or £80,000,000 of Jan interest and divi- dends in Boston. Now York, and Philadelphia will put ready money into the hands of just tho class of capitalists who will senda portion of it hore for investment in mortgages that pay 9 per cont net, and at the eame time furnish ag good eocurity a8 Govornment bonds. TENANTS AT $500 PER YEAR. As an instance of the demend for cheap rosi- dencea to rent, n well-known renl estato agent mentioned, » few days since, that he had twenty- cight applications in one day for cottages or small diwollings at annnal reatals of from $500 to $800. This is ,i‘mh.bly uo_greater numbar than other agents have had for the same class of dwellings, but it serves to give an idesof tho doficiency in- the supply of this class of houses in Chicago, and may give buildera a hint of what will pay the best to build next summer. Five hundred dollars o year comes within the reach of the great majority of ealaried men, and therefore meots tho necessities of oue of the largest clas es of the community. But there is an addi- tional reason for . the demand for houses at sbout this rate of rent in Chicago : A great many men are coming to Chi- cn%fl now from all parts of the country to go in- to business. These persons understand that the goneral upheaval of busineas rolations caused by the fire of October, 1871, kas mads opportunities for now men to get a foot:old hore in busivess ; they know that tho extensive rebuilding of the. business portion of the city has made a supply of at least one-third more flrst-class office-room than ;there was before tho fire, and that the probabilitics aro in favor.of low rents for offices for o yearor two. Theee circumstances being in their Tavor, their next move is to get houso rent at such rates as men with a fow thoueand dollars of capital can afford to pay while they are getting established in business. . As has boenmentioned Dbefore, the fire ordinance has had some effect to diminish the supply of houses at sunal rentals of 8500 anywhere within the fire limits, and Lerenfter a great portion of tonants who cannot pay more than that must go outside the territory enclosed by the fire limits to get comfortable houses at that price. Many of them will live at Hyde Park, Evanston, Harlem, and in the vicin- ity of the West Side parks, whero s cottage and fifty teot of ground can bo'bonght for £3,000 or 4,000, and paid for in annual instalments run- ning five or six ycars, so that tho payments on tho ontright purchase of & home will bo but s little more difticult to meet than the payment of $500 per year rent. It is possible, however, that tho “owners of many of tho busi- ness blocks in the central parts of the city will find it so difficuld to get tenants for all their office room that some of them will arrange the upper floors of their buildings into suiles of rooms for families. It is to be hoped, however, that this system will never become popular here, s the effect of crowding families into tono- ments has been damsaging to morality. BEST FRONTAGE FOR A RESIDENCE. Most persons, if they had tiie choico of posi- tions for n residence, would, without much thought about the matter, probably selecta south front, but & writer in the New York Mail argues, with some show of -reason, that *‘houses on streots running nearly north and south are far preferable to those located on those going east and west in a sanitary estimate. the first, hera_at the north of the equator, the sun ehines brilliantly in the forenoon on tho front, and with nearly equal forco in the afternoon on the rear. Thus dampness is expelled and the wholo edifice i dry and the air far purer for ite solar exposure, If s house 18 on an eastand weststreet, those fronting north are decidedly the beet for a residence, because sstand. the sun's action on the yard, the kitchen, and usual regions of neglected nccumulations, puri- fies and modifies tho humid atmosphere that is sure to predominate in yards and the back side of houses whose rear js uorth of the street. Thus circumstariced, the back rooms are never 80 plessant, cheorful, or economically warmed in winter or ventilated in summer, a8 when on the south side. Opening on the street, -the framo of each gets both light and air by reason of the frequent swing of the front door.” This would doubtlesa sound very woell in summer, but if there is anything that peaple in Chicago have felt dissatisfied with during the past week, it has been doors and windows open- ing to the west and north, to let in the recent instalment of wind from Alaska. TID PROPOSED LAND PIRACT. . The discussion of the Bostwick claim is still rife in varions quarters, with a gencral fading out of the aspects that at first gave apparcut golidity to the case of tho parties bringing the suit, who, it now appesrs, stand the eamo rela- tion to tho matter as was borne by Mesers.

The travelling public, and especially that por- tion of it living on the South Side, will learn with real regrot that Mr. Rickard T. Crain, for threo years the efficiont Superintondent of tho Chicago City Railroad Company, Las resigned that position and has now no connection with tho road. The Company has lost a valuable officer, and the public a champion of their rights. Mr. Crain took charge of tho road Jjust after * the introduction . of tho ablomin- able “bob-tail” cars, and was compelled to Mlam $hm i af fhain Zeemmfon. I epite of this insuspicions circumstanco he rap- idly became a favorite with the public, and more than a favorite with stockholders, for under his labors stock rose from 68 to 170, sn advance without a parallel #o far a8 is known. The epi- zootic days are still fresh in tho memory of Bouthsiders. 1t will bo remembered.that tho Bouth Bido cars ran a woek longer than either of tho othern, and that they ren&pcu&d agoin a weck before the North Side and a fortnight be: fore the West Side Companios were ablo to x¢ sumo operations. The track has been in botter order on the various strects upon ‘which the cars of Lhiscomgmy run, than they over were, and the strcots themezelves havo im- roved. The excellont system of paying the rivers o percentage of tho gross receipts, aud thereby removing all mmg}huon to dinhonesty, +was algo insugurated by Mr. Crain. In fact, bo advanced the road from a condition of worthlees- nesa to ite present state of eficiency in the pub- lic interest, and benefited the stockholders sur- prisingly. ‘He bas taoght tho loseon that the pmgonty of such a corporation deponds mpon its ability to eatisfy the Enbh'c, and the pubiic is 88 much his debtor as tho company. It istrus that he has labored hard, but it must be a source of gatisfaction to him to_know that his efforts bave been successful, and that tho people recog- nize his industry, ability, aod faithfal service.
