INVESTMENTS. Real estate was again quiet last week, owing in patt to the abominable weather, but all the signs point to a great change very soon. Several impo.tint sales are being made that cannot be givenio the’public, but which will show that men with money have begun to buy real estate in the belief that it is now the cheapest security tobe had. Everything promises the best kind of tumle in Chicago thistfall. Where are the profits ofour merchants and manufacturers to be in- wested? Capitalists and epeculitors are both asking this question, and both find the answer in real estate. Since the beginning of summer one investor in this city has put nearly $500,000 «into = business-property, improved and unimproved, and into unimproved residence-property.. _Anoth- cr great capitalist and successful busi- ness-man tells his friends that real estate is now the only cheap thing to buy. Inside business- property and wetl-selected acres are the best investments and the best speculation. Last rar the stock market was the attraction to @hrewd men, who saw that the rising prosperity of the country was sending up values in Wall street with arush. But conservative men now Delieve stocks and bonds to be too high. United States 4 per cents pay less than Bi per cent; Chit . Burlington & Quincy: 43 have been selimg at #2, a price which yields less than 4 per cent. Chicago, Burlington & Quincy stock is selling at a figure which gives the buyer about 6 percent. A recent investment in Jand and building in the new wholesale district on Franklin street nets 9 per cent, and the owner has the prospect of a large advance in values besides. Another purchase that we ee this week nets. 15 per cent. The contrast between these results speaks for itself. , THE MARKET. ‘The market for real estate during the past week cannot be said to have been a very lively. one, nor, on the other hand, has there been the slightest sign of depression. Sultry and rainy weather, such as Chicago bas been subjected to for the past ten days, isnot conducive to ac- tivity in any branch of trade, and in conse- quence the dealers in real property have not found themselves at all pressed with business during the past fortnight. The most marked feature has been an inquiry for buildings for both business and residence purposes, although the latter class of edifices has been most in demand, and agents generally report that where houses are vacant a decided increase in rents is being asked over the figures of a_month ago, and that, in-view of this fact,considerably more than the averageamount of building is to be done between now and the time snow tiles. A slight increase in building material will probably result from this move- ment, as the stocks on hand are not particularly large, and a slight stiffening of rates all around could be easily maintained. -Among the sales of the week were 53x16 feet on the southwest corner of Cass street and Dela- ware place, $6,500; 394x183 feet cn North Clark strect, 337 feet south of Grant street, $3,758; 50x. 100 feet on Van Buren street, 50 fect east of Fourth avenue, $30,000; 376x215 feet on the southwest corner of Fourteenth street and New- berry avenue, $10.000; 44x80 feet on West Con- gress street, 148 eet west of Aberdeen, $2,700; ‘the entire block on the northedst corner of den avenue and West Twelfth street, 50x185 feet on Lincoln avenue, 276 teet north: west of Sophia strect, $7,500: 31x160 feet on ‘Wabash avenue, 574 feet south of Fourteenth Btreet, $8,500; 120x297% feet on Centre avenue, 137 feet south of Adams street, $18,000; 50x170 feet on Michigan avenue, 150 feet north of “Gwenty-third street, $10.600; 164x75 feet on Van mites of the Court-House filed for record during | the week ending Saturday, Sept. 4; City—Sules, 85; consideration, 905.

There were also 63 transfers of property south of the city Hmits for $277,100; west of the limits for $20,568; and 15 north of the limits for $1,018, making the total sales 50, and the consideration $1,604,041. : ‘The sales thus far this year show an increase of 1,487 in number and $6,774,365 in consideration #8 com) with the corresponding period in 1879. The record by months is as follows: B15} Eee 511) Loudest 4,024) $21,205,002] | 3,455] 814,431.527 CONDEMNATIONS. ‘The Appellate Court has rendered an opinion on the question of condemning land for street purposes that will be of interest to property- owners. Tho Court held that in vroceedings to condemn property for streets, the city has not such an interest in the appointment of damages. ag between landlord and tenant of the land con- demned, that it can assign the same for error; if no greater damages in the aggregate have been awarded than the landlord and tenant are entitled to, it is wholly immaterial to the city how the amount awarded is distributed between them; that it is the duty of the jury after duly considering the process by which each witness arrives at his Judgment of value, to give such judgment the weight to which, in their opinion, it is fairly and justly entitled, and adopt the theory or mode which should appear to them to ‘be best and fairest; that as regards the tenant of Jands condemned, his obligntion to pay rent ceases when the land is taken, and unless his leasehold interest is worth more than ‘the rent reserved, the condemnation of such interest can result in nothing more than nominal dam- age. a BUILDING. Among the more important building-permits issued during the week were those to B. H. Barker to erect a two-story addition, No. 304 Prairie avenue, to cost $4,000; to F. Frost to erect a two-story dwelling, No, 3723 Halsted street, to cost $4,000; to A.B. Linn to erect a two-story dwelling, No. 182 Dearborn avenue, to cost $1,500; to Adams & Spaulding to erect a two-story store and dwelling, No. 521: State uers may go in and fill up the country, thus ee their investment remunerative and val- uable. STATE STREET. rm _ The widening of State street south of Twelfth is progressing finely. The owners thereaway seem fully to appreciate the importance of the work. When completed it will be an avenue of which .the whole city may well be proud. The most valuable property in the city is on this street, say between Adams and Randolph strects,and the increase in values will rapidly extend south when the improvements on this fine avenue are. completed. Between Van Buren and Twelfth street matters are for the present at a standstill, mainly through the ob- stinancy and the stupidity of a single property- owner, who aspires to be an Alderman, and whose’ obstruction movements have damaged property: owners: in his ward more than his serv- ices for even two lives cnn possibly be worth. ‘Through mere technicslities he:.has been able to defeat the improvement year after year; but bis “tricks that are vain” cannot serve his purpose much longer, as the matter will doubtless soon be settled for the last time by the Supreme Court of the State. On Wabasb uvenue improvements are going ‘on apace, and from present prospects the burnt district of 1874 will soon all be covered with good buildings. Property is in demand on this street: at improving prices. 4 2 THE BORDEN BLOCK. Ground has been broken fdr the erection of the Borden Block at the northwest corner of Randolph and Dearborn strects. The building is to be devoted entirely to office purposes, and Will be six stories and basement in hight. ‘The main entrance is to be at the centre of the Randolph street front, and will be level with the sidewalk, The main cn- trance-hall 1s eleven feet in width and Icads directly to the elevators, two in num- ber. A wide stairway also starts from this hall, and after a landing for ‘the first story offices, follows around the elevator-shaft. between the several stories. ‘There will be an innér court 28x81 fect, which will afford abundant light to all rear offices; and,in addition, there will be a large skylight over the elevator-shaft, and transom-lights and glass-paneled doors to each office, rendering the interior of the building light in every part. ‘The offices are to be heuted by steam, and ventilated Pivough fireplaces, of which there will beone ineach office. There willbe four stacks of double ‘vaults, running from basement to roof. The offices are groupe: around the ¢levator-shaft in such manner that the sirens on nearly all the doors may readily be seen from the elevators, and in addition a bulletin-board will be located in each story directly opposit the elevators, ‘The materials of construction will be Berlin sandstone, St. Louis pressed brick, terra cotta and cast-iron for the interior; the windows will be filled with he glass, and the cornice will be of stone. ‘or the interior wooden joists will be used, supported on iron pillars and’ neams. The floors throughout willbe of hardwood, and street, to cost $1,500; to C. Zerka to erect a two- story store on Milwaukee avenue near Wood street, to cost. $4,000; to J. Sedlack to erect a two-story dwelling on Nineteenth strect near ‘Throop, to cost $3,600; to S. B. Williams to erect a six-story apartment building corner of State and Ontario streets, to cost £40,000; to P. Upton toercct a two-story dwelling, 3,658 Indiana avenue, to cost $2.500; to J. H. Reeves t» erect 2 three-story dwelling. Nos. 26 to 310 Milwaukee avenue, to cost $10, Among the buildirg permits issued yesterday were the following: One to the Board of Educa- tion to erect ‘a three-story school-house, 06x84 feet, corner of Douglas avenue and Thirty-tifth street, to cost $30,000; one to D. W. Hinckley, to erect a one-story planing-mill, Robey street, to cost $4,000; and one to L. B. Schuefer, to erect a three-story dwelling, Clark street, near Sophia, to cost $5, : ROTTING FRAMES, ‘The Real-Estate Journal has the following sen- sible remarks concerning the dilapidated frame structures that disgrace so many portions of the elty: It is clearly within the power of our municipal authorities to declare any unsafe buiiding or row of rotten frames surrounding valuable im- provements @ nuisance, and to ubate the same y ordering their demolition or removal. In every part of the city poewept by the dames there are long rows of old frame structures rotted in the sills and twisted out of all shape by decaying supports. For the most part these are owned by miserly men, too stingy to rebuild so jong as they can wring from the poor who aro forced to occupy them, exorbitant rentals. Many of these houses have stood for twenty Fears or more, and besides being infested with vermin and rank with murderous gases are a constant menace to the inhabitants and a ais- grace to the locality. Great buildings, into which thousands of dollars have been put by enterprising citizens, stand all about them, insurable only as “extra hazard” and in constant danger of destruction by these _fire-traps. Tt is rea- sonable to suppose that but few frames which ante-dato the fire are now safe to occupy.

BQUALIZATION. Last Tuesday the County Board of Equaliza- tion of Taxes met and received the assessments made by the Town Boards. The three Assescors reported that in each division of the city assess- ment had been increased 10 per cent over that of last year. It was finally agreed to adopt a resolution, offered ny President Senne, of the County Board, by which the assessment of the South Side was reduced 2 per cent, the WestSide increased 2 per cent, and that of the North Side increased 5% percent. The result of this action will be to modify the assessment as follows: South Chicago—Original assessment, $34,407,- 7M est Chicago Original t, $28,825, esi inal assessment - OR orth Chicago: Oneinal it, $10,325, Nor ri assessment ,325,- 910: increased to $10,893,654. ‘The report also recommends reduction of 5 per centin Evanston, 10 cent in Lake, and in Palatine 2 per cent; an increase of 20 per cent in Lemont, 5 per centin Leyden, 3 per cent in Maine, 10 per cent in New Trier, 2 percent in Demcineld, 4 per cent in Orland, and 15 per cent jos, SATURDAY’S TRANSFERS. ‘The following instruments were filed for rec- ord Saturday, Sept. 4: CITY PROPERTY. > Fillmore st, 153 ft w of Western av. 8 f, 2: fpgated Sept. 205 and E.

This would de- the hundreds of old tenements in the Bridgeport region are without exception unfit to live in and dangerous to the public, both as fire-traps and disease-breeders. Our city can never be healthy while this state of things continues. In one locality in mind there are six blocks, built solid, every available foot, with these structures excent where they have given way to new build- fis 8 strange inconsistency to forbid the erec- ton within the city limits of new frame struct- ures, and yet permit the people who own the old ones to patch and prop them up in every conceivable manner and keep them standing. Either the fire ordinance should be modified so as to permit the thorough renewal of these structures, or they should when found foul and unsafe be ordered taken down by the city au- orities, THE LAKE-FRONT. © It would seem that an “irrepressible conflict” must be maintained by those who would pre- serve the Lake-Front as a healthful breathing- spot for the people. Efforts have been fre- quently made to steal this property outright, and thus divert to the pockets of unprincipled sharpers what was given to the city by the Gén- eral Government asa park for all its citizens. Judge Drummond, of the District Court of the United States, in a most learned opinion has de- cided that it can be used for no other purpose. The débris from the great fires of ‘71-'4 fur- nished the material to fill up the basin between the Illinois Central Railway andthe old break- water, and, after various vicissitudes, the space bas been leveled off, and with walks and grass plots it affords an inviting retreat on sultry evenings for all classes, the working people especially ‘finding there much needed rest and_ recreation. It is hoped in the not distant future that stately mapies and elms will replace the starveling poles that now dis- grace it, and make it one of the most beautiful, as itis the. most inviting, resort that can be found in any city in the country. But now comes a proposition to make ita stroy the fine grass plots, and render it a nuisance instead of a blessing to ‘those for whose benefit itwas given to the city. No one will accuse Tae TRIBUNE of opposmg anything that can contribute to the comfort and efliciency of our military organizations; but the use of the park for this purpose is entirely unnecessary, for the space north of the Exposition Building is ample for all drilling and parade purposes. By com- mon consent base-ball has usurped a part of this north end of the park. Certainly if shows and circuses are. permitted there, our ‘regiments should have the same privilege. A strong remonstrance has been prepared, and it is hoped the Council will agene it nt the rap ue tent fotever. for the ople. ley need it, and it is the! ht they should have it. seus wast EXTEND THE HORSE-RAILWAYS. The City Railway Company is extending its tracks on Suuth Clark street below Twelfth, exactly how far we are not informed. This is a wise move, and it should be done on some other streets. These corporations have received a most valuable franchise from the people, and for itthey should render an equivalent by ex- tending their lines generously to distant parts of the city. It will not ao to stop where they are in order to make larger dividends aad force their stock to a high figure above par. For some years to come they should be content with comparatively small divi- dends, and use their surplus earnings in extending their lines to the outskirts of the city. By this means they would largely increaso their usefulness, and at the same time greatly enbance the value of theirproperty. The South Side Company should have extended their lino Several years ago on Archér avenuc to the Brighton House. . There is already a large pop- ulation south and west of that place who need the accommodations a raliway would afford them, and if the extension to that point would not pay now, it very soon would do so were the line opened to the traveling public. If the road, in consideration of its almost invaluable fran... chise, will not do it, they will find before the end of another yeur other parties will be fonnd to make the improvement, ‘The West Side Railway should extend its lines at once, or certainly before next summer, to the beautiful parks on which the taxpayers have aid so large an amount of money. They ong lo it at less cost than it will take to defeat the other Company, who claim the right to put down competing lines. They should do it in order to quiet the restive spiritof the people, for they are determined in some way to be accommodated. We are confident that the best interests of the two companies require an early completion of the improvements we have suggested. They should lea:n a valuable lesson from the at Continental lines, who build through uninha! districts for hundreds of miles in order that ited mote the main entrunce-hall willbe laid with a floor of incaustic tiles. 33 ‘The dimensions of the build are 80 feet front on Randolph street and 90 feet on Dear- born. The hight from sidewalk to top of cor- nice will be 103 feet. Mr. D. Adler is the architect of this building. IMPORTANT LEASE. A tease has been made by Mr. Shepherd Brooks, of Boston, to Mr. Amos Grannis, of this city, who represents himself and others in the transaction, of the land lying immediately south of Portland Siock, fronting ninety feet on Dear- born street and being 120 fect in deptn. The term is forty years, The rent for the first twen- ty years is “ thirty-twopounds and three ounces, by Troy weisht, of pure, unalloyed gold.” This is the equivalent of $5,000 present standard United States gold coinage. Appraisals to be made in twenty, twenty-five, thirty, and thirty- five years -of date, aud rent’ on such uppraisiis 5 per cent. Lessor to take building on ap- praisal at the end of the forty years. ‘The prop- erty is to be at once improved with a first-cluss office and banking building. The gentlemen in- terested with Mr. Grannis bave decided to em- ploy Messrs. Buruham and Root as their archi- tects. The lease was negotiated with and drawn by Mr, Owen F. Aldis, the attorney of Mr. Brooks in Chicago. NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. Carcaco, Sept. 4.—The growing demand for low-priced flats and houses renders it necessary that the city should be supplicd with a much larger number ot apartments that can be rented for from $15 to $30 per month. Rents of this class of.property have advanced from 33% to 50 per cent this year, and apartments which brought $15 last year rent readily now at $20 to $25. The applications to rent this class of prop- erty aro enormous. If land-owners who are holding unimproved lots in the locality adjacent to the Ogden avenue, Twelfth street, and Indi- ana street horse-cars, nnd also in the locality be- tween Western and California avenues, would improve their lots with neat brick cottages. they could receive a net income of from 10 to 12 per cent from the investment. The demand for flatson the large business thoroughfares and food residence streets is also very great. Hav- Ing in our charge over 500 tenants with nota single vacant tenement at Jess than $35 a month, isaconclusive evidence that many more low and medium priced flats and houses are needed. Wehave in our office plans of a numberof buildings now in processof erection on the West Side, and will be glad to show them to any one contemplating buiiding. GnirFin & DwicHrT. a HOPE.
