THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, MAY 4, 1873. REAL ESTATE. City IXomaes :for Iiem of Federate TIleams. r Whers Lots Can Be Bought for from $30 to $70 per Front Foot. The West Side Park Bill, and Its Provision for > Sewerage. Imprnvén;ents at. Humboldt ¥ © Park. Epandale and the Avenues South of the City. Suburban - Land Speculation--- Transfers for the Weelk, Probably ‘throe-fourths of the real . estato transactions at present—or, for that matter, at sny time—a~e purchases of cheap lots in the outskirts of the city; just st tho outer edgoof the limits of compactly-built distriets, at prices ranging fror $300 to €1,200 por lot. Tho great majority of theso purchases aro for actual occu- pancy, and each ono indicates tho establishment of a home of some permanent citizen. The greatest activity, bolh in buying lots of this class and in building houses costing from $1,500 0 £3,000 on them, is probably in the district west of Milwaukeo avenue, north of Indisna etreet, snd;es fer morth as North avenue. Another district where the activity in buying and improving this class of property is mearly, if nob quite, equal, ia that west or Reuben strest and south of Twen- ty-second street, nearly os far west as the new city limits. There is also great activity in a dis- irict just eastof Central Park, about a mile square,—from Western avenue to Kedzie avenue, and from Kinzie stroet to Harrison strect. .In this district, however, prices are much higher, ranging from $60to §100 per fronk foot, and property is being improved with a better class of houses. These three districts are included in & ‘belt of territory something over a mile wide and abontfourmileslong, that lies next east of the chain of Weet Side parks. Thero isnothing spec- ulativein connection with the salesand improve- ments of propertyin these quarters. The activity is the legitimate offect of the expansion of the “the city and the settlement there of s resident popalation that are rapidly filling up the space Detween the éu—eaeni limits of solidly-built streot lines and the West Side parks. At the present rate of progress it will not be over five ‘or six years beforo the whola of the district will e as thickly buils up as » large part of territory east of it i8 . now. Tho foatures that attract so large a part of the increasing population of the city to theso quarters are, frst, that all of’ it is -within & radins of about four miles from tho Court-House,—ground is chesp there; and, second, that the prox- imity of the West Side parks will eventuslly make it 23 desirsble & place for men of moderate means to own homes as can be found in sny city. The one thing now most ‘needed to increass the movement of population to these parts of the city is the extension of the lines of the West Side Railway Comdpxny. The ‘Madison street line shonld be extended at least’ smile. The VanBurcn street line should be ex- tended southwestward. The Blue Island line ghould be extended not only on Blue Island ave- nue, but ehould hsve & branch to the west on gome street near Twelith street, and the Ran- dolph street line should have a. branch_to the zorth on Leavitt o Oakleystreets or on Western avenue, nearly to the Artosian Well. ON THE NOBTH SIDE. Thero is & district north of sboat Belden ave- nue and west of North Clark street where prices and improvements similar to those in the first of the sbove-mentioned West Side districts pre- wail ; but the activity of sales and buildi is not £0 great, owing to the fact that there is no con- venient means of transit from the centre of the city to the most desirable parts.of the cheap residence property in_that direction. In fact, this is the difticulty with the whole of the North Hide suburbs, and the main resson that they do not improve more, is, first, that none of the horse of ~that division como down into the .centrel business quarter; cecond, that rione of the street railway lines on that eide roach the new residence districts where plo can bry ground at $40 and §50 per front ook aad where salaried and professionsl mon would be willing to mako permanent homes. Every property-owner on the North Sido has & large interest at stake in securing the transit of all the North Sido horse-cars across the river to Randolph street. When this i3 accomplished the whole North Side will experience an intrease of E:pmfion, and improvements will receive & new e. B THE WEST SIDE PARK BILL. It is gonerally understood that our sewerage system in Chieago is not cale extend west beyond Western avenue. None of the territory west of Western evenue oould bo drained into our prosent sewers with- ont crowding them, and flooding the basements, collars, &c. . Any one who wi npgly to Mr. mxesnbr:ggh ot the Board of Public Works, can readily be informed on _this matfer. The people is the West Division are presumed to bewilling toconstruet a main sewer ranning north and south, respoctively, to the North and Sonth Branches of the Chicago River, | ont of funds to be raised by epecial assessmen upon property benefited. " Such s gewer is a necessity, not only to drain the added territory in the West Division, but also to receive the sur- face water of three artesian wells in the respect- ive threo parks. . The water from ibe Central Park ar 281 well now floods the Madicon street ditch ~ o California avenue. The one at Humboldt Park does the same down €0 near Western avenue. This will soon become as much of a nuisance a8 the old - artesian well, oorner of Chicago and Western avenues, hasbeen for yeara past. Another necessity for the power tobuild sew- ers lies in the fact “that, while Central Park is only a mile add a half west of Union Park, there are Wufm means of communication torgot to B, until the strests leading to itcanbe improved. It has been urged upon the Park Commission- ers that, among other strests to be improved, ‘YWoat Washington street, which is now paved uj to Leavitt street, a point half a mile this side of the Great Eastern ad, should be the first. Allthe property-owners from the railroad up to the park have consented fo widen that street, from €8 to 100 feet wide, and the strcet was graded last year on that basis. Now, while the uth Side have constracted - splendid boule~ yards Jeading to what will be their splendid park sys- tem, gm ‘West 8ide, with comparatively small meshs, have succeedod in making & portion of Geatmal Pack _quite atiractive to vsitors, but khey have provided no means of getting to it by way of streets or avenues. Last year, in Octo- ber, it will be remembered, the corner-stone of the Firo Monument was laid with appropriste cer- emonies by the Masonic fraternity. A 6 con- ‘course of people assambled at Central Park on this occasion who had to go thers by means of the Chicago & Northwestern ilroad. The bill Blandmg before the Legislature in Springfleld is tended to remedy thess ovils by conferring the power to imi‘mva these streets. It slso will #ecure the collaction of taxes more cffectually, and prevent a few people from getting alon, without paying any taxes by simply taking appe £0 thie Supreme Court, and taking advantage of the law's delay. 7 Thero were several mass moetings held by the ople of the West Division last fall to stimulate iprovements; and the provisions of ‘the bill pending aPSpringfleld express the sentiment of ese meetings, and are an endeavor to secure Whnflha&mple have asked fom The North- western Company have located their machine ehops and other large shops immediately west of Central Park, and sre e:gnndinglvary large smount of money in the ccmsh'\mtn‘l_n6 'h:g resent ted to these improvements, . They. they will lhave 1,000 families of their operstives located this fall est. of Ceatral Park, between Kinzie and Madison ttreets. The park improvements will be a great boon to these people. - It should not be-fo ten also that own: of Cicero " has ceded to the City of Chicago all the temtory embraced in the land extending two miles west-.of Western #vanug and north and - south from North avenuo to the Tllinois & Michi Canpal, and which territory has pa.idgm hudu‘dl's of thousands of dollars taxesinto the City Troasury since. ita ‘annexation.. The Town of Cicero has expended, snd ia yet expending, s great deel of money in layiog out wido avenues and securing & drainage systew. The property-owners in that quarter have a right to exgeet that the territory which theyhave ceded to tho City of Chicago will be properly improved, and notremain a waste. The taxation that thisbill providedfor will smount to about 18 cents on & lot worth 1,000,or, if it is distributed according to-population, each’ per- £on in the West Division, on an average, will pay 40 cents_for the improvement and mainto- nance of their park system. With the improve- ment of parks in the Sonth and North Divisions, pr«.fi)erty—ownerq in tho West Division can not well afford to do without such improvements, . IUXBOLDT PARK AND VICINITY. Matérial progress has been mado in the devel- opment of tproperty on the line of improvement to Humboldt Park, and the pavement of Mil- waukee avenuo is being _ rapidly pushed forward to its intersection with ‘Nerth avenue, to which point the stroet-cars will bo running as Boon as, the pavement - is completed. North - avenue has been cindered ~ from Milwaukes avenue west to the west line of Humboldt Park, making a_continuous and good “drive, all the year round, from Lincoln Parkc in the North Division to Huomboldt Park in the West Division. A groat many handsomo villa3 and cottages are mow in process of construc- tion, and others are already completed, along North avenuo between Milwaukeo avenue and Humboldt Park and Bouleyard. The Chicago & Pacific Railroad Company have built & fine depot, called * Humboldt Station,” on Bloomington ‘street ‘and California avenuo. California 1avenue is tho cast line of Humboldt Park, and ‘Tuns south along tho esat line of” Douglas Park to tho South Branch, ' Tho Bride- Wall'gronnds join ihe avenue immodiately on the west, which makes this avenue one of tho Iongest in tho city. The lands and building lots of the Humboldt Park Rosidence Association aro in Hansbrough & Hess' -Subdivision, oxtending from North avenue to Armitage road, and from California avenue to Humboldt Boulevard, on both sides of the railroad station. A mumberof plans for Dbeantiful villas and cottages aro being prepared, and the houses will be built this season. They will bo mpglied with artesinn woll water, and, being situated only three and a half miles from the Court-House, and conveniently located both to steam, rail, and street cars; this will bo & Tesidence Associntion paid §4,000 per acra for these lands last October. It is safo tossy the enhancement of the property is -already over 25 per cont, and it will probably doublein s short time. Y The Humboldt Bonle 260 fect wide, runs along the subdivision on the west line, and is now being improved by_private contract, by the owners, The proparty lies just outside of the city limits, on the north. The contract for the improvement of the boulevard includes the gufing of four rows of trees of six inches in inmeter, about thirty fect spart, and the sodding of the beds adjoining the central drive, in tho width on each sido of forty-six feet. It is also proposed to improve the drive with macadam for the first one-half mile north of the park. The Park Commissioners intend to finish ¢ spring the swork on tho eastern portion of the park, commenced last summer. A large grotto hae beon deeigned, and will also be constracted. This, in addition to the besutiful ¢Ramble” 1aid out, will make that part of the Humboldt Park one of the most attractive spots on the ‘West Side. Values in the neighborhood of the park have advanced very materially since last summer. From £60 to $75 per foot is obtained for choice Tocations on _park fronts, while the princi- al avenues leading thereto—Chicago avenue, ivision streef,and North avenne—are held at from €40 to $50 per foot. Choice residenco roperty in tho neighborhood. can be had B irom ‘820 to 830 por foof, and fronts o the ‘boulovard are held at from $40 to $50 per oot Tt will be seen that these prices are compara- tively cheap,—offering equal advantagos in situa- tion,—and there can be no doubt that they must very materially advance this summer. ‘One great obstacle in the genoral advance of property north of Chicago avenue was in the fact of the entire quarfer section situsted between Chicago avenue and Division ptreet, Robey street and Western ayvenue, cillod the Suffren Subdivision was, until lately, <withheld from the market by the heirs of the Suffren Estate. They have, however, now con- cluded to dispoga of it. OX THE SOTTH SIDE. The quarter where there is the greatest.ac- tivity in ssles and improvements of property worth from 250 to 370 per front foot seems to be in Egandale. Probebly not less than 2,000 feet of street froniage have been sold there within tho past two or three months, to parties who . will improve it this summer. The greater portion .of this frontage will, of course, bo merely improved with shrubbery and made the orpamental surrounding of handsome residences, but it will be occupied, and probably never be put in the marlot for sale again. Tho roperty on the Sonth 8ide that is most directly in the line of the progress of good residences is probably that on. . k *{ THE AVENUES,” Wabash, Michigan, Indians, and Prairie, south of the city limits. The &mpcrty on these, Low- ever, has. passed_iato the hands of capitalists, who hold it in hxngla blocks, and scem careless sbout galling at all. Their indifference op- erates 88 an obstscle to - improvements, which are being turned off eartward, an the result is_that, while thers ig much activity in neighboring quarters bhere is none at all on these fine streets. The first indication e have noticod of a desira to *‘wake up " and do something to improve the agpennnce of their property is the movemement to plsut a double row of ' g : TREES O WABASH AVENUE, ? from Thirty-ninth to Sixty-third street, this spring, It is proposed to plant abont 600 trees of not less than 6 inches in diamster, and from 25 to 30feet in height. The majority of the proper- ty-owners have agrecd to bear their share of the exponse, and thoso who have not already done so should go at once to the office of Ar. §. E. Gross—who hss undertakon to se- care co-operation—and give- their sssent. Rut, by far, the most notable instance of ' treo-planting _that been done sbout Chicago yot—not excepting. all that has been done in the parks—is the one on Ash- Jand avenue which does so much éredit to the ood tuste snd publio spirit of Mr. SsmJ. §Palker, whoso good work in this respect will live afler Lim— leafy monument that will cause £8 many peo] o to think a8 kindly of him asif he had built o church or endowod & college. CAPITALISTS COMING TO CHIOAGO. Wo learn of not less than four or five capital- ists, bankers, railrosd-men, &nd retired mer- chahts, who have sccumulsted fortunes during their résidence of many years in the secondary cities of this and sdjoining Blates, und who are now _moving _tfo _ Chicago to make rmanent homes for the rest of their {lives. Two or thrce have bought Tesidences within the past two months, and oth- ers contemplate buying and building. One of those who propose to do the latter is W. 11. Mitchell, of Alton; who will build & $30,000 resi- ‘dence on Calumet svenue, just south of Twenty- second streét, this smmmer. The price paid for the ground was 8450 per front foot. i A NEW SYNAGOGUE. A wealihy.

SWBUBBAN LAND SPECULATION. The field of moat active operations in this line continues to be the district west of the Great Eastern Railroad and south of the South Branch. - Prices are maintained at about the range men- tioned in our real-estate articles of the last two ‘weeks, 2nd the talk of building srailroad to make it accessible continues, Some endeavoraare bein; mads to_get subscriptions from owners of Tand to build the proposed extension of the Danville & YVincennes Road from Dolton to this city, though with what Euccess we areunable to loarn. The West Chicago Land Company, which was organized in connéction with the of the Jand for'the Chicago & Northwestern Rail- road shops, just west of Central Park, have now pold, in small tracts, about 250 acres of their 1and, besides the 240 bought for, and fransferred to, the Northwestern Company. .

Xnteresting Tables Prepared by Eml= nent Men--Effcct of Heat and Mois=- turc Upon Certain Diseases — Life and Death Eates. TFashington (A pril 27) Correspondence of the New York Tribune. The socond volumo of the Ninth Census Re- E?r: contains the vital statistics of the United ates. In determining the different technical ques- tions that constantly srise, cially in the treatment of vital statistics, and in bis efforts to pularize what would otherwise have conveyed ittlo meaning to the majority of persons into whose hands the book i8 likely to fall, Gen., ‘Walker availed himself of tho advice and aesist- ance of men who have given the subject the most -careful study. Prof. Joseph Henry has brought the recorda of the Smithsonian Institu- tion, gathered during the last twenty years, from which to construct Temperature and Rain Charts, which, when compared with others pre- pared ' in tho Censua Buresu, show the nllliact of heat sand fmdu‘ismre 1) 1& each of the four great groups of ases (1.

Guizot and Shott together con- tributs & map containing the mout complete and sccarato series of olevations yet prepared, and Mr. E. B. Elliott, Chief Clerk of the Bureau of Btatistics, has prepared new life-tables based on the consus of 1870, beside correcting by the most advanced mathematical procesees somo manifest omissions of the Census Marshals. Gen. Walker has thus not only produced s document of far grester valuo than the corrosponding volume of any previona census, and a8 accurate and com- pléte a8 the imperfect machinery of the Census act permitted it to bo, but lias also brought within the comprehension of every one many of the most important facts shown by the census, ‘but which would be understopd from the figuros themselves Ly very fow. ~ ‘The n\{)id.\y increacing_intercst in life insu- rance makas it very desirable that tho death-rate of tho country, from which life-tables must be computed, should be ascertained with absolute procision. It is 4 sourca of regret that the last Consus does nit furnish the necessary data for this purpose. The reason for this is easily ex- plained in the repoft. The consus law requirod the roturn of all deaths ocourring in families from June 1, 1869, to Mzy 31, 1870. The cnume- Tation be%an June 1, 1870, and did not close un- il about Jan. 1, 1871l. In many cases from a year to eighteon months.elapsed after the close of tho oensus yesr, and from one to two_years and o half after the death to bo reported, beforo the Censns Marshels called for the information. thl;;nfizwould be moro natiral than for heads of families to forget that a desth occurring two sears bofore took place within tho census Fear. In numorous .‘other classs persons died out of families, or the death itself broke mp and scattered the - family, leav- ing no ono ‘to report it. Gen. Walker, in a note on this subject, expresses the opinion that the exact death-rate of tho country can never bo ascertained without o nationalscheme of regis- tration stringently enforced by penalties. Bome of the States alrendy have a system of registor- ing births, deaths, and marriages, and, in utiliz- ing the census statistics,it has been found necessary to compare the returns of the Mar- ghals with the reports of these registrations in order to determine how nearly accurate the for- mer are. That comparison shows that in taling three censuses tho Marshals failed to report about 40 per cent of the true number of deaths. MMr. Elliott, in constracting a life-table from the censng of 1870, has, therefore, mesumed that there has boen a deficit of 41 per cent in the re- turn of deaths, and the result of his -computa- tions, compared witn those based on formor sta- tistics, and which have been generally accepted, may be seen by an exsmination of the two fol- lowing tables : * Tadle IV.— “ bornand surviving certain Gges in different communitics compared.

The returns for 1850 and 1860, if considered cor- ect s they wero by mazy, yould load to dis- araging conclusions as e Vigo! pure R herioun atock in contrust with tha of several foreign elements of our population. In order to discover, it {ossibla, in what the mistakes con- gisted—whether they were caused by the ommission 2ltogather of persons between the ages_of1and b years from the enumoration, or by sn erroncons distribution of this portion of the popnlation—the Superintend- 85, T ent cansed s record to be made, as far 28 possible, of the month of birth of sll chil- dren under 1 year old, snd, in edd.munf separat- ed the period of from 1t0 5 into yearly terms. But the additional information thus sought has ect his careful consi ) ings that strikes the aiudent of the table of- according to the returns, the number of persons in the first year of life is smaller the number in the zecond year; and, in turn, the number in the second yearis smaller than the number in the third year. Taling the first five years togeihier, it ap that the yearly mean of the n _between ho ages of 0 and -2 “years i3 1,089,639, while ~ the yearly mean beiween the sges of 2 and b years is 1,111,812. Bupposing the population to bo stationary,—thatis, that tho loss by death and emigration i3 equal to the gain Dby birth and immigration, andthat the birth rate is constant,—such a state of nffairs as these ta- ‘bles ehow would be impossible, and the experi- ence of other countries proves that what wonld necessarily be trus of & stationary !population is also true of a fluctuating one like ouss. In Eng- 1and, France, Italy, and Norway, the yearly mean of the number of percans between 0 and 2 years of age is rospectively 9, 10, 17, and 14 por cont greater than that of those between the ages of 2 and 5 years. _Aguin, $ho tablos show a very great disparity in the nun.ar of survivors of those born during certain nionths of the census yesr, s isparity that has nesr been noticed, elsewhere, and which is not accoantsd for by any sufficient disparity between the numbers born at different seasonsof thoyear, hercaretwo weys in which the irregularity of the data may be adjusted—one ‘based on the assumpt:on that no actual deficien- cy in the number of persons enumerated exista,- but that the anomalyfariecs from the erroneons distribution of the humbers ‘according to age, and the othier on the rasumption that a consider- able proportion” of thoseof younger sgos were' omitted in the enumeration. Mr. Elliott has adjustod the data furnistied him in accordsnce with each of these assumptions, and produced . series of tables which, though not as valuable as they would be were they entirely based on actual observation, are the most interesting of the kind that havo been prepared in this country. Mathe- maticians will be interested in the explanation ‘which Mr. Elliott appends of the process by :.Mch he has constructed the adjusted series of In preparing the table, showing the ages of the population of the United sm.e;i the Super- intendent of the Census has introduced many improvements., He has given the number for each year under 5 and over §0 ; he has mad. possible to ascertain without trouble the mili- tary strength of the country and tho number of voters,—all information. which could not be ob- tained from any previous census. Tho number of men in the United Btates of the military age— that is, between the agesof 18 and 45 years— 'was, in 1870, 7,570,487.
