[T —~SIXTEEN PAGES bring a line of hose into the place and perhaps the excoption of two, all the lines are woll located, for tfln aehhliniment of n&bnrbs_n trlemenis.

The Present commutstion rates have been in force {for about three vears, and are as follows: 1 ICOMMUTATION RATES FOR Ten | 100 | Three Jares. | fares. |months. i e e oagti The form of these tickets is similar to that of those in nse on the city borse-railways, the fares being numbered on the ticket, and punched ont by the conductor as they ars used. Ths tickets ~ar a stated humber-of fares are withont limit, and can be used by eny one, or any number at a time, within - the number of fares on thse ticket. The thres months’ ticket is limited to the use of the person to whom it is issued. 1t will be seen that great discrimination is made in favor of the Jongest distance. While to Weldon the rate is mearly 5 cents per mile, and thers is no differ- ence between the rate for single fare sod for ten tickets, the fare to Homewood is but little over 1cent mile for the 100-fare tickets. Ineide of Grand Crossing, the suburban towns sce well supplied with trains, ten running daily, excopt Buoday, each way, so that ample facilities of transit ars pronded. Late $raina are pat on 80 that persons from the sub- urban points can return home after going to plsces of amusement in Chicago. On Sundays, aocording to the present schedule. thers are two trains each way. The effect of these facilities bas been to canse the rapid growth snd develop- meni of Hyds Park and tho other suburban towns along the line of the road. THE MICHIGAN SOUTHERN AND THE FORT WATNE baving parallel tracks, reach the same soburban {om‘ te and maintain the same rates.

The Pittsburg .\ Fort Wavne's Tates are the same, except that the 100-trip tick- etsto Ono-Hundreth street are sold at $21. ‘The rates are graduated differently from the Iili- nois Central, being less for the short distances snd greater for the long, but will average about tho stme.

Thers are eight traine daily esch way except ‘Sunday, but the 138t train leaves tho city at 10 p. m., 50 that sub- urban residents along the line are debarred from patronizing places of amusement in Chicago.

The rates are scaled differ- s 8 the person in whoze nams they are issued. De- sides these, balf-yearly tickets are issned, the lnet six months being charged at a_considerably lower rate than the first eix monthe. To sur- rounding its tickets with so many restrictions, the policy of the xoad is illiberal as compared; with the Tilinois Central and Chicago, Rock wéstern, which Iays restrictionti‘on‘its tickets. ¥ THE FOLAf OF TICKET 3 in use for commutation purposes is about the ‘same in all cases, and i similar to the horse-rail- . way tickets, tho number of rides- for which the icket is good being numbered in small aquares, the condiictor punching the tickets 18 they aro ased. - ' IS COMPARISON WITH OTHER OITILS, the rates of Chicago roads arenot very low, but in tie removal of restrictiona from the uso of tiek- . ets they are very liberal. thers beingnona of the Eastern roads, with the exception of those run- ning into Boston,that soll'unlimited faro tickets, a8 on the Tilinois Central.

Tllinois Central, From this it appears that Chicago \doss pot have as low rates as either New York or 8t. Louis. - It is essy to undorstand why with their immense suburban traffic the New York roads should be able o make low rates, but it does not 8o clearly appear why St. Louis commutera shonld bave the advantage of us in this respect. Bome explanation may be found in the fact that therr commautation rates extend to longer distances, and it is upon this that the money is madoe.” As the whole train runs the- entire dis- tance, the rates to short distances practipally in- clude. as regards the running of the frmin, the cost for ths whole distance, and it is for this reason that commutation ' rates discriminate greatly in favor of the largest distances. Still this does not afford & satisfactory explanation why Chiosgo railroads cannot serve suburban travel as cheaply as the St. Lonis railroads. Railroacs, in Chicago at loast, have never ‘based their commutstion rates on ANY COMPUTATION OF THE COST OF THE SERVICE, nor bag there been sny systematic endeavor to arrive at such cost, the general account of road expenses comprehiending the cost of all the dif- ferent branches of passcnger service. Probably stricter Inquiry into the economy of suburban trafic may lead to important changes in railway service. 1t is obvious that a great-loss must oc- justment. ~The manner in which raway rates ‘ordinary kind to trade on, proceed to make that Ieland & Pacific, and if the road would follow the example of the latter in removing the re- strictions on the use of the 100-rido tickets, » cause of considerable complaint among its pat- the prescribed ently from all of the other roads, and are the of any, ranging from 2 £04 cents per le.

With the roiling-stock and equipment necessary for efficient servico on our large railroads, it is gen- erally tho case that for every car or engine in actual use twice or thrice as many more areidle, and thus capital to the extent of many thousands of dollars is non-productive. If by the cheapening of rates this capital could be ‘brought 1nto activity, profits would largely in- creass, aud this seems to bs the principle that hias made LA Y : TNE BOSTON SYSTEX - 8o successful. The Old Colony first, soon follow- od by the Esstern Railway, soon swept away the old system of scaled rates, and adopted a system similar to that in use by street-railiays. Alns were run very frequently at a charge of & cents & trip, be it for 1 or 10 miles. Tickets good for any station are sold in packages of twenty for 81, and no single tickets are sold. The system may now be said to be an established success, and has in a. great measure supérsed- ed the old syste= with ~ all the Boston railways. Some of theso trains are run & distance of 15 miles from the city. It may perhiaps in time bs found economical to erect the suburban tratfic into a distiuct branch of railway sérvice, and, by the use of light enginsa and cars built expressly for that service, greatly re- duce the cost. “The present ratos in Chicago seem to have been the resuit.of competition snd mutunal: ad- aro generally fixed is to agree on compoting pointa by consultation, and then scale interven~ Ing stations at ag.high figures as tho trade will sustain, If tho suburbmnn business should be made a. distinct service, and rates based upona compatation_ of cost, they might probably be grestly reduced. In reducing rates, howevor, 1t is necessary to be able to have some dependence on consequent Increass of business, and in new cities like Chicago the business limit is much sooner reached than in a thickly-settled country like that traversed by tho Boston rail- ways. Indeed, tho mianagers of our Chicago lines say they do not £ud that any marked in- crease of travel follows a reduction of rates, and think theirs are at present adjusted o as to se~ cure tho largest amount of patronage that. will remunerate them in the present stage of subur- ban development. =g g SIX-BY-TEN SUBDIVISIONS. WHAT THEY COST THE COUNTE. The great rise in Chicago real estats, and the oconsequent eager deeire of all sorts of persons te speculats thercio, and -to bocome immensely wealthy in a short timeand with a very small ex- penditure of capital, have produced all sorts’ of swindlers, and grown a crop of thieves second to nono in the world. These “shatks,” as they have come to be called, not having capital of the capital out of the credulity of their fellow- men. They sro quick to notethe changes in public taste, and to take advantage of them to lay still better schemes te gull their patrons. The sudden rush of people for suburban bomes which took place about 1868 gave ‘the pirates a new hint.

The real-estate market during the past week' has exhibited a continuunce of the demand for reridences on the part of those in sesrch'at this- season of homes. The transactions reported which & city lot below indicate that values have'besn resdjusted’ with an eye to the nocessities of the times, ana the general movement of all prices toward a- Iower level, but the sgents have all of them pumerous cases to report where the firmness of = owners has prevented the elosing of bargains.@The confidence of all clagses of owners appears to be such that con- cessions will be made only when nacessity com- pols. Owners, whito compelled to admit that war- pricas cannot be maintained in after-war timos, look forward. to a future they bolisve to be not distant when the old ecale of prices will be' sur- puaeq. For all that, the simple truth is that there is & limit to human endurance in paying in- tercst, and the class who have reached the point of exhaustion- is large onongh « to throw some very desirablé property on the mar- ket cheap, a8 the daily transfers show.
