i i | ¢ be cheaper for the city to vay THE CHICAGC TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, JANUARY 2, LA SALLE STREET. How It Came to Be Opened. to Van Buren, And What It Oost the Property-Owners— Benefits Which Did Not Accrne, - Resulis Which Will- Follow the Inevitable Sonth- ward Hove of the Beard of Trade, The claim is made by the little knot of property-owners and the few discontented Board of Trade men who are opposed to the project for the erection of the new Board of ‘Trade building at the head of La Salle street, that that portion of La Salle lying between Jackson and Van Buren which’ the Council ‘will be asked to vacate in order to throw to- gether the. two blocks owned by Col. Scott and to make possible the erection of the con- templated pbuilding fwas opened some years ago, and that the property on La Salle street was assessed to pay for the benefits conferred by reason‘of the extension. It is claimed that the street, having been opened in this way, and not laid out like others by ,the property-owner at the time the property is subdivided, either cannot ‘be vacated at all, or that, if it is vacated, the sums of money.taken from the property- owners at the time the street was opened on account of the benefit conferred by its open- ing must be repaid to them. 1 GIVE THE HISTORY OF THIS BIT OF STREET between Jackson and Van Buren is ty an- swer these objections. In 1806 these two blocks which it is now sought to unite were owned by the Rock Island Railroad Com- pany. When their large passenger-depot, ‘which was destroyed in the fire of 1871, was completed in 1806, the Company asked the Buard of Public Works to present an ordi- nance to the Council for the extension of La Salle street from Jackson to Van Buren. ‘The Committee on Streets and Alleys of the South Division, in reporting favorably on this proposed extension, stated that it would open a direct line of communication from the centre of the city to the depot, and give ad- ditional facilities for business between those two points. It would greatly enhance the value of property in that vicinity, and give nearly 800 feet of frontage for business and other purposes, thereby benefiti the city in general as well as the property-holders di- ‘rectly concerned in the proposed improve- ment, The ordinance_was adopted, the Commissioner of the Board of Public Works set to work to figure out the benefits and damages conferred and inflicted on contigu- ous and adjoining pay, by reason of the ex- tension. The total damage was $25,700, Of this amount $200 was the cost of proceedings. The remainder _was the cost of the property taken from the Railroad Company. THE BENEFITS < equaled the damages. They were distrib- uted as fullows: The six wharfing lots lying right along the river near Water and La Salle paid $2. ‘Water and Madison and Clark ifth ave- nue were assessed. $2,314. Blocks 95, 96, 97, 99, 100, 118, 114, 116, 117, and 118, School See: tion -Aadidon, being the blocks between Mad- ison and Polk, were assessed S64 OF these blocks, 99, 100, 113, and 114, lying south of Van Buren street, belong to the Kailroad Company, and were assessed heavily for the ropused improvement, So that, while the Ruilroad Company got all the money paid for damages, it also had to contribute to the ben- efits. All the property-owners from Madison street to the river were assessed but $2,336. It will be seen, therefore, that the amount Involved is trivial, andy it Swill really back to the owners of the property which «was assessed the amounts assessed upon it than to allow so great an improvenient as this to fall through, This is an instance, it will be seen, where proposed benefits didn’t follow. The Committee fancied that the value of prop- erty in the vicinity of the La Salle street ex- tension would be greatly enhanced. Nothing of the sort was the case. The pro isso cut up, consisting of two shallow blocks be- tween Sherman La Salle streets, and La Salle street and Pacific avenue, asto be utterly useless. That portion of Clark street ay in the neighborhood is. not good, as'is that part of Fifth avenue on the west’ of it of much value. : ‘ But will the property-owners gn La Salle street be damaged by reason of the closing of that portion of the street south of Jack- son? Far from it. eae oe ‘THE MOMENT AN DIMENSE BOARD OF TRADE HALL ae is erected at the end of the street, all the property in the immediate neighborhood will appreciate in yalue 50 per cent.. It will be covered with buildings for offices occupied by persons whose business is akin to that of the Board. The Western Union will be compelled to jeave its present contracted uarters and to follow the Board of Trade. ‘he result will be that LaSalle street, in- stead of ending inacoupleof holes in the rcune as it now does, will end ina grand uilaing, the . centre of busi- ness fe and activity -of the = city. Nor will the value of the property, near the corncr of La Salle and Washington be diminished, Every office there will be oceu- pied by lawyers, and by others whose busi- ness specially pertains to the courts and to the city and coun’ time the Board of Trade is ready to move, be in« full blast. As for the wharfing lots which contributed $2 to the opening of the street, nothing which can be done in the way of ex- tending or closing La Salle street will either benefit or damage them. Nor will the effect of this contemplated improvement be confined to La Saile street alone. It will ex- tend eastward _as well. The block between Jackson and Wan Buren .and Clark and Sherman, now vacant except for res- taurants on wheels, will be filled up with splendid business edifices. Al} that property lying between the Board of Trade and the new Government building will be vastly en- hanced in. value, and the ‘disreputable and only half-respectable population of Clark street will be shoved several blocks further IMPROVEMENT FAILS, How- EVER, .vit will be the end of La Salle streetfora jong time. The Board of Trade must move. ‘That is inevitable. Failing to secure quar- ters on La Salle street, it must go elsewhere. At will move over on Dearborn street, where there is room for it, and that street, and not La Salle, will get the benetit_of the improve- ment, Then values on Dearborn street will jump from 80 to 100 per cen and then La Salle street —_ willl remain stationary. The change must come, and the only question is whether it shall so come as to improve La Salle or some other street. Certainly no property-owner on La Salle can now say, and say with justice, that, because the person who some time ago owned the property he now owns paid an assessment of from SI to $200 for the purpose of extending La Salle street in order to se- cure certain imaginary benefit, now, when there is an opportunity of actually securing south. IN CASE THIS , those benefits without expense to anybody,. the street thus opened shall not be vacated. ft is but a step from ~the City- Hail. to | those — two empty and desoiate _ blocks. All the Aldermen certainty have seen them in their present condition, and know. how valueless they are, and how worthless is the street which sepa- rates them. Certainly when the ordinance for the vacation of this bit of a street is pre- sented there will be uo hesitancy in yoting for its vacation. BE SURK AND HAVE ENOUGH ROOM. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. Cnicaco, Jan. L—Referring to the inter- view your reporter had with Mr. Parker (see TRBCNE, 30th ulf.), he (Afr. P.) said: Mr. Scott has signified a willingness to put up his north walls in ‘such a way that if it ever be- come necessary we can run into his building to the depth of seventy-five to 100 feet by tearing out the offices that he would make on the north part of the building and turning them into an additional Chamber of Commerce room by clos- the thirty-footcourt. If, in other words, tha proposed building should not prove to’ be larze 2nough twenty years from now, we could then pave the advantage of going into the other building for additional room without changing the external walls. ” It would appear from this that there is a be- fief that before many. years our rapidly in- ar business will necessitate the acqui- sition of more accommodation. This being the case, the Board’ of ‘Trade ought to ac- quire sufficient space now before the land is Duilt on. If the proposed thirty-foot court should ever be built on, it would deprive the Board of Trade Building of light on. one whole side. ‘This would never do. Besides, ast experiences show that tinkering with a Building to enlurge or alter it often costa as Those. blociss Sying between Bey is offices, which will, by the |] much nearly as would build a new one, and seldom gives satisfaction. The suggestions made in a letter signed “ Receiver” in THE TrrBune of the 3ist ult. are worthy of con- sideration, and at least 200x250 feet ought to be acquired. Many beop) le are of opinion that a buildin; twice the size of the present one will be suf- ficient. They do not,-perhaps, take into con- sideration that at present the members of the Board of Trade use far more space than the present building. The present Call-Board is rented and maintained by a large number of members of the Board, who are willing to pay a fair rent for the hall they would oc- cupy in the new building and thus make it a source of revenue. The space covered by the ‘present Board of Trade building is 20,000 feet; the present Call-Board occupies, say, 10,000; and the offices at present used as ‘settlement. rooms in the adjacent building, say, 3.000; a total now in use of 33,000; 200x200 feet pro- posed new building is 40,000; a gain in space of only 7,000 feet.. So that in reality the gain in space would only be about 25 instead of 100 per cent as would appear at first sight. “TRADER” LAKE MARINE. The Lake Casualties of 1880. Detroit Post, Dec. 30. From the files of our own and other papers we glean the following results of the season just closed: So faras has been ascertained there were fully 1,000 disasters, which in- cludes several of a minor character, and up- wards of 900 of a prominent feature; 23,933 tons have been lost and 36,687. tons_commis- sioned. The number of vessels and amount of tonnage lost is much larger than in.1879, while the new tonnage is an increase over 1879 to the extent of 12,769 tons. ‘The loss of life is greater than formany years past, while the valuation of hul! and cargo loss falls little short of $2,000,000, which is a large increase over any former season. The ‘greatest amount of losses occurred on Lake Michigan. Lake Huron follows next in or- der, while Lakes Erie and Ontario are pro~ portionately the same.

It seems that she was divorced from Martin, who is 2 manufacturer in Pittsburg, about five months ago, afterwards coming to Atlanta, where she has relatives and friends residing. It is also said that the lives of Martin: and his wife are somewhat tinged with the romantic; that they have been al- ready married five. different times. Mrs. Martin is a lovely and accomplished woman, the eldest daughter of a Presbyterian clergy- man of Baltimore. a —— A Trick with a Hole in It. ‘A Michigan farmer invented a trick witha hole in it.

The Attorney-General Believes It Has Forfeited Its Charter. Friday the Attorney-General filed a peti~ tion in the Criminal Court asking leave to file an information in the nature of 8 quo warranto ‘against the Dyer Mining Company. In the aff- davits annexed to the petition it is, among other things, alleged that in February, 1879, the tirm of Heed, McDonald & Co., of Chicago, made an agreement with parties in Colorado to purchase the Dyer Mine for $80,000. Then Reed, McDonald & Co. called the mine worth $100,000, divided it into shares of $1,000 each, took contracts from parties subscribing for shares to pay one-third of the ‘subscriptions in cash by cee et ot dary , tained contracts of jnd for se othe as ors Oh Se $20,000 in money, the other four-tenths they re- served for themselves. ' The $20,000 was ‘ic id to the parties from whom the mine had becn bought, and the rest of, the purchase-money secured by a mortgage dn the mine, then made by them for $10,000. The parties then, to place the mine before the public, organized @ corporu- tion under the laws of Illinois, called.the Dyer Mining Company, with A CAPITAL STOCK OF $1,000,000. This stock was delivered tothe holders of. the contracts of sule in the proportion of $10,000 of stock to each sbare of $1,000, $600,000, or thirty times the umount they bad it Fata in cash, and Reed, McDonald & Co. took $400,000 of ‘the stock for which thoy had paid nothing. The mine was conveyed tothe Com- pany for the’ stock, and the fatter put upon the market as full~paid non-assessable stock. so the Company owned the mine for which $20,000 had been paid, subject to a mortgage for $40,000, which the Company assumed and agreed to pay, and for this $20,000 ming the Company bad issued $1,000,600 of its paid up stock, and repre~ sented to the public that its stockq#9s;,paid uy in full, when not a dollar had ‘been pald upon it in any form. : The atliduvits further alleze that the parties managing the concern then begun to put the stock upon the market and sold the same in large quantities to persons who were. ignorant of the fraudulent character of the organization, all of which was an abuse of the privileges and franchises of the corporation. In September, 181, the corporation bad no money and no property except the equity in the mine, the mortgage was coming due, and payments had to be made, soa caliwas made upon the stockholders for a loan of 50 cents per share to meet necessities of the hour, About this time Reed, McDonald & Co. and the persons whe had beed instrumental in getting up the scheme got contro! of the mort- gage and declared itto be due and payable at onze. E . ‘The outside persons to whom stock had been sold declining to come down with the money to pay up the mortgage, a meeting was called to REDUCE THE CAPITAL STOCK. Such a meeting was held, and Reed, McDonald & Co. and others in their interest, voted to reduce and did reduce the stock to $100,000,—a silent int that the million-dollar. business was wrong. Now having reduced the stock they called upon the holders for money to pay the mortgage, but the stockholders did not respond. So the mort- gage men agreed to take stock for their debt. Now another meeting was called to increase the. stock to pay the mortguge, and they voted to in- crease to $150,000, and the holders of the mo gage took the $50,00u of new stock. . ‘THE STATE WANTS TO KNOW whether its citizens can be treated in this way. A man bas purchased $10,000 of the stock fully paid up of this magnificent corporation, and by a sweep of the pen 39,000 of his valuable prop- erty is wiped.out of existence. It wants to know whether one of its corporate bodies can, upon incorrect representations as to the character.of its capital, place that stock on the market, sell itat par,and then cut off nine-tentbs of it, or in other words, whether a corporation shalf be permitted to abuse its powers by such acts. Jt is also alleged in the affidavit thatthe Dyer Mining Company was organized in Illinois to do business exclusively in Colorado, but it has 10 | preperty, business, or anything else in tnis State, and the inference is that such a corpora- oe is not authorized by the laws of. this State, an . YTS ORGANIZATION: 18 ILLEGAL AND VOID. Several circulars written in the office of the Company and sent out to itsstockholders are at- tached to the petition, which show the peculiar methods by which this kind of a corporation manages its business. Mr. George RK. Clarke is the President of this concern; Mr. B. ¥. Clarke is the Secretary; Mr. H.V. |. T. G. Warden, Samuel Piho, H. L. Penney, and C. A. Knight are the Munaging Di- rectors. £ : ‘There is also attached’ to the petition an aff- davit of Prof. E. Warren Ciarke, who says that in November, 1879 (when the stock was yet 000,000), he was in the office. of the - Mining “Company, when he, was iimportuned by one B. F. Jacobs to pur- chase stock: in the Company. Benjamin F. Clarke, George R. Clarke, and H. V. Reed were present, Jucobs represented to him that the stock of the Company was full-paid and non-as- sessable, that the Company owed no debts, and thatit wag a safe and first-class investment; that the Clarkesand Reed indorsed the repre- sentations made by Jacobs, and that, relying upon these statements as true,-deponent, for himself and a friend, H. D. McCulloch, invested $5,000 in cash in the stock. Mr. Clarke is of the Opinich now tbat the stock is unsalable and is & permanent investment. : it is understood that the object of the present petition is totest the legality of a corporation organized in Ulinois to do busifess exclusively in another State, and if such organization shal be held to be valid, then whether it hus not for felted. its charter by its alleged frauduient cot uct. : The Court eutered on erder to show cause on the lath of January why the prayer of the pe- titioner should not be granted. me DR. W. P. DUNNE. A Narrow Escape from Death—Hit by a Locomotive, Dr. W. P. Dunne, City Physician, narrowly es- ecaped a violent and sudden death Friday afternoon. He and bis driver, William Moore, were on the way to the House of Correction, and at 10 o'clock were run overat the Twenty-sixth street crossing of the Pau-Handle Railroad by a locomotive attached to a long freight-train. The Doctor and his employé were lightly muffled, as the ride over the open prairie to the House of Correction is a cold one. The crossing isa very dangerous one,, and there are some six or seven tracks laid closely together, and trains’ are con- tinually passing toandfro.. A flagman ig sta- : tioned..at the crossing to Warn teamsters: and other drivers when there 18 any danger, but if be does his duty no better than he did yesterday he is not very well fitted for his | position. * As the Doctor appronched the crossing he saw a long freight-train backed up close against the roudway on the track nearest him. ‘fhe flag- man was in his shanty, and the Doctor descried through the window what_he took to be a mo- tion for him to come on. Just us be passed the end of the freigbt-train he saw a locomotive and train attached runuing at a fair rate of speed, the approach of which he had not scen owing to the intervening frejght-train, The horse was already upon the track, aud only a few fect away was the engine. The only safety was in making the horse cledr the track at a bound, but. this fafied, and the locomo- tive caught the buggy just about the hubs, .and tossed it through the air a distance of some thirty or forty feet, and completely torn and smashed into small frag- ments. The Doctor and young Moore were vio- lently thrown a portion ‘of the distance, and, yery fortunately for themselves, fell outside the tracks upon which the engine was running. Moore found himeelf only slightly braised, but the Doctor: appeared to ‘be very seriously in- jured, and was biceding profusely from a couple of scalp-wouuds. The horse ran direct to the House of Correction, and those who ‘found the animal at the gates, with the harness tora from his back, knew at once that some accident had befallen the Doctor, and therefore started ‘out aloug the road to hunt bim up. In| the. meantime the tor had been cared for in the vicinity of the ac- cident, and Dr. Hutchinson, had Leen telephoned to come his assistance. Upon the arrival of Mr. Felton’s party, however, it was deemed best to drive at once to’ the city, and Dr. Dunne was taken to his own home on Desplaines street. There his injuries were dresced by Dr. Fleming. The wounds about the head, though severe, were not dangerous. The muscles of the legs ‘and one side were badly: strained and bruised, and pained ‘considerably, and’one finger on the left hand was broken. ‘4 ‘will be days and perhaps weeks before the Doc- tor is again able to be about. a ‘The easiest, quietest, ad surest way to cure a cold is to use Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup.
