The corresponding nine lota fronting west on Michizan avenue, beginning at the corner of Thirty-seventh court and ulendlns’nur\h, went to Mr. Wood for $53 A foot. All the 24 lota 1n Block 2, which ia be- trveen Indisna and Michigan avennues, sonth of Thirty-soventh street, went to tho same bidder at 850 per foot for the Michigan avenae and 840 for the Indlana avends front, excepting Michigan avenno next to the corner, which was purchased Senator Robinson for $51 & foot. and ons on the corner of Indiana avenne and Thirty-seventh conrt, which was aold to Jobn Nejlson at §0¢ foot.

REXTING OR OWNING. Attention has been called, daring the discnsslon abont the school question, and the lack of proper accommodations for children, to the fact that there are 5,000 children in rented bulldings, for which 212,000 annual rental Is pald, It has been nrged, &4 an econamic measure, that it wonld ba wiser for the city to buitd schools of ita own for the putpore of accommodating them. Tt s claimed, and donbt- leen with trath, that the structures which the clty wonld pot np would bo better adapted for the purpose than thote which It rents, bot, so far as absolate monetary emmm‘eh concerned, it is erhaps questionable whetber it is cheaper to uild, as the following figures wili show, According to Superintendent Dul'(. a twelreo room primary-school bLullding holds sbont 750 acholars, DBut Mr, Doty thinks it ahould hold only about 760. In fact, he 11{: down the gencrsl principle that that thero should aiwavs bo 1,000 reatd for 000 papils, the reason being that when a room is crowaed to Its uimost capacily there Is no chance to promate children, but they are wedged n Ao s to Lte Immovable, In a grade #chool system thero should be plenty of room {n schools In order not to interrupt the reqular promotion of scholars, The Superine tondent wonld wish, therefore, to have reven twelve-room buildings to accommodatathese 5,000 children, The cost of ane of these buildi furnished, is sbont $10,000. The costof of them, therefore, would ba $173, 000. The cost of the school lots necessarlly depends upon tho lo- cation, running all the way from $4, 000 to 15,000 each, the averags beingabont $9, 000, which wonld make 000 for the ground. ‘The lot and rounds, therefare, for these scyen school build.
