Sixty acres on Archer rond, corner of Reuben strect, cold in 1870 for $30,000, retailed within two Fears for $200,000. “A single block, five acres,in Clark's Subdi- vision east balf of northwest quarter, 25, 33, 14, retailed readily in lots, bringing 100 per cent advance. ‘Twenty acres lying in the northwest quarter of 15, 38, 14 sold in October, 1887, at $500 per acre. It is now worth $10,000 per sinzle acre. It fronts on the avenues, south of Fifty-pinth street. In the fall of 1863 ten acres between Indians and Pruirie avenues, south of Forticth street, sold for $27,200. The lot sales have since made an average acre price of $10,000. The following year ten acres adjuining were bought for $50,000, sold within six months at the rate of $9,000 per acre. ; An 1861, one five-ncre block lying south of Thirty-eighthstreet soldin 1868 for $10,000; again in 1869 for $25,000; and again in 1370 for $75,000; and is now worth $130,000. Eighty acres in 2, 33, 14 cold in 1868 for $20,500. ‘The lots in this subdivision are selling ut arate which would indicate $25,000 as the yalue for the entire tract. Nincteen acres sold in 1866 for $10,000 total bas since, in lots, seld at $8,000 per acre. In 1868 twelve acres were bought in 10, 53, 14 at$X8. That portion of this land fronting on the parks is worth now $10,000 per aere. In 1869, seventy-five neres in the cast bait northwost quarter, 2, 59, 13, sold for $32,000. In Asi? the property, subdivided, sold for $110,500. ‘The lots are now worth 820 per foot. One of the most remarkable subdivisions isthe Latin & Loomis subdivisions on tha West Side, west of Loomis street. In 1819, Messrs, Latiin & Loomis purchased the elghty acres for $24,000. In J6t8 the average value was $60 per foot, and in 1880 it was considered worth $100 per fuot uy- erage, without improvements. The total value of the subdivision is thus shown tocmbrace many large fortumes. The investinent of $24,000 is now worth $2,500,000. ‘The office building 1:8 and 190 Madison etreet, or the southeast corner of Fifth avenue, 50x100, has been converted * FLOM AN OFFICE BUILDING into a whoicsale store, The forty offices yielded about $2,400 n year. In ils new shnpe tho build- ing has been rented to a cloak house for $5,000 a year for three years. ‘The store and basement at 167 Madison strect have been rented to Mr. Marshall, tho stationery dealer, for $2,000 TI LAKE FRONT. Representative Davis, of Chicago, has intro- du ced into Congress 2 bill to contirm to the City of Chicago title to the Fort Dearborn Addition to the city. This bill, unlike Aldrich’s bill, simply provides that the’ public grounds located in Chi- cngo, and known ns the Fort Dearborn Addition, are relinquished and granted to the City of Chi- cago, with power to lease or to sell and convey that pornon located east of Michizan avenue. It leaves to the City of Chicago disposition of tho grounds, while Aldrich’s bill provides that the grounds can be sold for railroad purposes only. Mr. Davis sends his bill to the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds, instead of the Committee on Public Lands, to which the Aldrich bill was consigned, and which Commit- tee aro familiar with the subject. ‘The interesting fact is mentioned by a con- temporary that only: twelve years agonlarze Portion of the now business heart of the city was occupied at that time | WITH PRIVATE RESIENCES, and the thoronghfares for great distances were vacant. Twelve yenrs ago where the Union Na- tional Bank now is, corner of LaSalle and Wash- fugton street, was the residence of Dr. Horton, aman well known in the city. The residence hag been removed, and the muynificent building that now covers the site erected. Where the Mercantile Bullding now fs, on the northwest corner of La Salle and Washington strects, was the resfdence of Tuttle King. The gentieman lived there for some years. Inthe rer ot his residence on Washington strect was the home and office of Dr, Brinkernsot and William B. King. Dr. D.S.Smith lived close by the same Vicinity also, The residences of each of these gentlemen have given place TO THE HUGE STRUCTURES now to be seen on the sites. Where the Drake Block is, on Wasbington street, in 1864 were the residences of Mr. N. P. Wilder and Gen. S, Lock- wood Brown. The corner ot Washington street and Wabash avenue twelve years ago was cov- ered with the edifice of the Second Presbyterian. Church. Immediately north of the church on Wabash avenue one Jobn High lived. The cor- ner of Randolph street and Wabash avenue was the residence of Henry W. Hinsdale. The cor- ner df Medison street end Wabash avenue, now covered by the ChicagoCarpet Company's build- ing, was the site of the residence of Judge Skin- ner. These residences were all destroyed by the great fire, and business blocks alone have since been built up. But the complete change in so short 2 time from restdences to the large busi- ness structures that now stand fs astounding. ‘All the property-owners on Lu Salle street as far north as Madison bave signed a petition to the Common Councll asking for the VACATION OF THAT PART OF LA SAIEE strect lying between Jackson and Van Buren. It appears to be no lonzer a question as to whether the Board of Trade will remain where ft is, but whether it will stay on Ln Salle street. "The edvocates of removal decinre they will not stay in their present quarters. If the southern end of La Salle street is sbut to them they have THREE OTHER SITES) * open,—one on Wabash avenue, between Van Buren and Harrison strects; another at the cor- ner of State and Van Buren.streets,on which formerly stood the St. James Hotel; and the third, the block bounded by Jackson and Van Buren streets and Tuird and Fourth avenues. Ortho property to be uffered at the next sale of the Chicago Real-Estate Call Board, thy num- ber that will probably uxcite more curiosity than any other on the list, the Real-Estate Cir- cular says, is a Sherman street lot, between Jackson and Van Buren streets, that is upset at £500 per foot. This 1s directly opposit the ground that THE BOARD OF TRADE has Intely voted to remove to, and {s the ofly lot frouting upon that property that bas been or probabty will be offered to the public at auction sale. Of course, as the managers state in thoir catulog, thére. js much dilliculty in fsetting 9 price upon such property. Nearly all the land that was for sale in that neighborhood was taken up before tha vote to remove to that lo- eality was had, and since then no property near there has been offered for sule. But, in view of the prominenco that the action of the Board of ‘Trade hus given to the neighborhood, and of the fact that ull agree that.us soon as the new building i3 crected and occupied, any land so situated will probably pay a satisfactory inter- eston $1,500 to $2,500 per front foot, the mana- gers think thoy are justitied in calling this, at the upset price of $800 per foot, a bargain. LOANS. There is a fair business being done in real es- tate loans, though the rates nre weak and with- out change. Money is being freely loaned at 6 and 6!3 percent.

The total number of per- mits issued during the year wns 3.268, agninst 2,908 in 1679 and 2,769 in 1878. The general char- acter of the structures Was much more sub- stantial than those erected in previous years. The report zoes on to say? “It is expected from the Indications ‘THAT 1$S1 WILL ECLIPSE 1890, and that the number of permits issued will be not less than 4,000, or neurly 3) percent more than during any previous yeur ‘since the erea- tion of this Department, - There has also’been a marked increase in the removal of frame build- ings during the past year, Which may be attrib- uted to two causes: first, to.make room for the erection of permanent structures, which have been in excess of last year; and, second, the re- moval of a largo number of wooden buildings which stood on the right of way of the Western Indiana Railroad track.” ‘The following is a statement by divistons of the number of permits and estimated toral cost of improvements: Number of — Estimated permite, cust.

Renl estate has, therefore, advanced, and speculation in that line has made great strides within the past sixty days. Boston land stocks are in gen- eral request, and are good to buy at present, as they are cheap yet. ‘The subject of STREET IMPROVEMENTS is covered by a Dill prepured by the Select Com- mittee of the Council, to be .gubmitted to the General Assembly, It {3 a8 follows: SECTION 1. ‘That when any city shall by ordi- mance proyide for the improvement of avy street by the filling, curbing, and paving, or either of them, of such street, in a permanent maner, by special assessment or speciul taxn- tion of ‘contixuous property, or otherwise, it may by the sume ordinance provide that when the same shall be improved in the manner and ‘by the means prescribed in the ordinance to the satisfaction of the proper olficer ur department of the chy, it shall uot thereafter be filled, curbed, and paved, or either of them, us the case miy be, by means of special assesment or special taxation. Src. 2. That any efty may, by ordinance pro- vide for the improvement of any street by the filling, curbing, and paving, or either of them, of such street in a permanent manner, to he prescribed in the ordinance, by and at the ex- pens¢ of the owners of property abutting on or contiguous to the strect, or by nny individuals under the superintendence and direction of the proper officer or department of the city, and may also provide by the same ordinance ‘that after such street shall bave been so Improved to the sutisfuction of the proper oflicer or depart- iment of suid city, it shall not therentter be filled. curbed, and paved, or eithor of them, as the ensu may be, by specia! assessment or by speclul taxation of contiguous property. ‘Sec. 2. No improvement sbatl be ordered by virtue of this uct, unless the same shall be of a substantial and permanent character, and when any street shull be filled, curbed, and’ pnved, or efther of the accordance with an ordinance passed as afuresnid, such street shill not there- after be filed, curbed, und paved, or elthor of them, us the enge may be, by speciil assessinent, or by special taxation of contiguous property, but only by general taxation. Commissioner Waller objects to this bill that ft fs indefinit as to what is A GOOD PAVEMENT. He says that if tho bill should pass as at present framed, it would Ieave room for no end of ‘Aldermanic jobs. A few property-owners ona street could combino together and bave a very cheap’ pavement put down, which, by Alder- manic influence, would be accepted as a perma- nent improvement. while, as a matter of fact, it might wear out in threo or four years, and then ever afterwards tke city would be obliged to muke a good street of it, The bill should have some test of merit, and the Commissioner of Pubtie Works thinks that it should remain in rood condition for twenty to twenty-tive years before the city uecept it as a permancat im- provement, and bind itself to keep it ever after- wards in repair. Vinducts have been applicd for that would in all cost nearly $1.500,0W, Itis likely that tho Chicago avenue, Twelfth street, and Centre ave- nue yinduets will be ordered, andappropriations made for them. A company has been formed in New York to eupply SUPERMEATED WATER TO PRIVATE HOUSES through pipesfor cooking purposes. The water is tobe kept at a temperature of 386 degrees Fabrenheit. Already some 3,0W feet of pipe have been laid in the vicinity of tne trial station at One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street. through which the water is drawn with such rapidity that it passes through the entire length in fifteen minutes. The pressure in the pipes is about 160 pounds to the square inch, 2 much more moderate strain than tbat first talked about, but still sufficiently great to demand the most anxious cure in testing the conduits through which the water Is curried. [f this care can be depended upon, the system of heating by water-coils in place of steum-radintors, as is now suggested, would have many advantages. An important steam-heating enterprise in con- neetion with 2 novel REAL ESTATE PROJECT {s under consideration in Boston. There is in that city a large tract of land situated In what ig now the centre of the best residential quarter, and adjoining the new park, which baslong been held by a wealthy association, and this assoctu- tion now,proposes to improve it after a very well-considéred and promising plan. Instead of the deep and costly lotsinto which the greater part of the West End is divided, thls Huntington avenue district is laid out into lots of only sixty feet in depth, and on these lots tho Assocation intends to build dwelling-houses, uf various widths, but moderate depth, all furnished with the best of drainage. plumbing, and ventilation, and all to be heated by pipes trom boilers sta- tioned in the principal squares. The intention is to build up a quarter enjosing the same ud- vantages of spacious streets and freedem from annoynnces of a! kinds which have made the rest of the Rack Bay so popular; and adding some attractions pecullarly its own. The prus- pect seems favorable for the aucccss which such an undertaking, if well carried out, deserves. A New York dispatch states that the year just closed i WAS THE MOST PROSPE! the New York building trade has known since A large part of this money was invested in the building of first-class dwellings and French flats. Quite a large num- ver of the buildings are banks. insurance oilices, ete), erected on Broadway. and on Broad and William streets. Under the head of second- cluss buildings there is 2 groat falling off, while the value of the newly-creéted flats is nearly double that of the apartment houses builtin 1879. The prospects for building this year are exceedingly good. Arehliects ure now busily engaged in drawing plans for new private and public buildings, and contractors and builders are expecting plenty of work. The number of real-estate transfers placed upon record in New York City during 1880, it cluding the annexed district, foots up the total money consideration expressed in the sane amounis to $15,505,306. This exceeds in value the amount of 1879 by about $25.0W.000. Inthe annexed district proper the number of transfers is comparatively = the previous year; the value of the 180 trans- ters in these wards surpasses those of 1879 by about $3,500,000. The total amount of real estate sold at the Exchange salesroom during 18s was $15,017,000, against $18,738,191 sold during 169, COMPENSATION OF ANCMITECTS. To the Editor of The Chteago Tribune, Cmeaco, Jan, 15.—Anything relative to the building up of the vity isnow interesting to cap- ftalists. On speuking to-day with one of our largest property-owners, he mude the remark that the great fault with (he Chicago architects was insufficient superintendence. I told him that I thought it could be explained in one word, —insufficient remuneration. So long as the amount paid for the services of architects was one-hilf that of New York, Boston, oreven St. Louis, just so long would the evil complained of continte. He then asked me what wus the prac- tice in England. I told him that the great ditfer- ence between the practice of architects there and hero was that the proprictor there always em- ployed, in addition to bis architect, a “clerk of work,’’ who was puid by the month and who re- mained on the building aff the time during working hours, and whose duty it was To see that the plans, and specifications, and instructions of the arebitect during his visits to the building were faitbfuily carried out by the contractors. Tam glad to see that the St. Louis architects have lately issued and published in the Ameri- can Architect and Building News n schedule of charges lately adopted there, and bave long wondered why something of the same kind was not done here. I am convinced that the com- plaint above referred to will exist until this 1s done and adhered to. ARCHITECT. $$ ELEGY. For The Chicago Tribune.

Mrs. Caroline Carpenter, a middle-aged widow of determined disposition, owns a house and lot on Stockton street, On the adjoining corner of Sutter street Robert Ewing, a contractor, has nearly compieted n block of stores. In making exenvations for a foundation, Ewing compelled Mry. Carpenter to continue the foundations of her house fourteen feet lower, and, us suede ler than during | clared, wouid not let ber prop up her wall while doing the wark. The result was that she spent a good deal of money unnecessarily. The sumo workmen engaged on ber premises were stopped by Ewing, who charged that they were tres- passing on bis property. 3{rs. Carpenter wasn't at home, but ber niece was equal to the occa- ston, and with a reyolyer In. band sallied out and intimidated the contractor. He had the young womun arrested for assault. Open war was declared by Mrs. Carpenter. Ewing removed a temporary fence in front of the new building, and workmen begun to lay stoue walk. Mrs. Curpenter feund that they had made arrange- ments to carry the sidewalk seventeen inches beyond the fine of the new building iu frontot the lot. ‘To allow thetn to do tbis would be to acknowledge that they owned astrip of that width directly through to the rear lot. She ordered the workmen to stop and -remove the material. They kept on und. hurried tocom- plete the job. Mrs. Carpenter, reinforced by her servant-girl, again ordered them to desist. The Hirt placed ber foot across the narrow space which haa not been paved, when one of the workmen deliberately set a slab of stone on ber foot, Infuring it severely. Mrs. Carpenter threw herself down on, the ground and defied them to build a sidewalk over ber body. At the same time she summoned the police and ber attorney. Agreat crowd gathered, and a squad of guards was hired to defend her property trom invasion. ¢ guurds remained an duty until a truce was entered into.
