The large advance in-rents which began early in 1850 and was continued last spring was also n ‘great inducement to moneyed. mon to jinvest- in real . estate. Probably. however, the multitude, magniti- cence, and yreat cost of the buildings now in process of Crection may be traced in a great de- urce directly to the funding operations of the Government. When the Ss and 63 were with- drawn to give place to the .4 and 3% per cent bonds hundreds of bondholders cf the United States, discouraged at the insiznificance of the returns received for their moncy, decided to invest in real estate, which is popularly supposed to yield 6 or 7 per cent net, and in exceptional cases as high as 18 (oF 9 per cent. Possibly also, these persuns were more or less influenced in their investments by the hope and prospect of a possible reduction of the rate of taxation in the hear future. The ease witn which money may be raised on mortsage when securities are high and the rate of interest is low is another induce- ment to building investment that should not be overlooked, and this condition of affairs exists at this time. At the present time (the figures bere quoted are based on the ollicial records of the Depart~ mentof Buildings froin Jan.1 to Aug. 1, 1881) the amouzt of capital which Is belag converted into brick. mortar, and stune is $27,469,220, 13 against $16,900,0s5 at the samo date last year. in considering these flzures it should be remem- bered that the year 1880, when tho * boom" in rents berun, was also a great building year. ‘The building-permits fssued yesterday were as follows: A.

Street improvements are being carried on with great vigor. The Michigan avenue boulevard will be done to Thirty-first street this fall. The grading has been done as far south as Twenty-fourth street, and the build- ing of the roadway is steadily progressing. ‘The block from Park row to Twelfth street is finished as far as the roadway.is concerned, and presents a very fine appearance. The work of laying the granit gutter is keeping well up, about 1,000 feet being already in po- sition. The flagzing has been laid as far down as Twenty-tirst street, and the sand-" Stone flags are now being put down between Tventy-third and ‘Twenty-fourth streets. Gi the West Washington street boulevard, between Halsted street and Union Park, the wooden pavement has been all taken up, and the grading has been done to Robey strect.. The curbmg bas been set from Halsted strect to Elizabeth, ana west ot the park from Ashland avenuety Pagestreet. A force of about sixty men and twenty teams are constantly employed, and more wi] be put on when they can be made available. The stone is now hauled from the further end of the boulevard, and each day de- creases che distance to be traveled by the teams, 80 thut more mipid progress will soon be made, ‘The contractu: expects to bave the boulevard between Halstad and Rockwell streets tinished before the frostsets in, Property-owners on West Wasnington streot must see toit Usat their service water pipes are Jowered to the new level of the six-inch water- main now being laid by the city between Sheldon streecand Union Park. The city will make the connections if the seryicc-pipes arc lowered. BETTER TRANSIT. - A bridge over the ‘river at Washington street is again under discussion by the prop- erty-owners in the vicinity. The tunnel is at present of very little use, Washington street open across the river would be'a great high- way of travel. Long use has dulled the ap- preciation of the fact that there are too few connections between the South Side and the West Side of thecity. The bridges that al- ready existare crowded, and more are needed. It will. not. be necessary to close the tun- nel to foot passengers if the river is bridged. Engineering skill can easily combine the bridge and - the tunne! Members of the West Park Board ure in fayor of having the whole of Washington street turned over to that Board, and having the street bridged at the river. It’ would make Central Park accessihle from all parts of the city. City= Engineer Cregier,vouches for the feasibility of bridging the rivét without abolishing the tun- nel. A movement is on foot among tns property~ owners on Adams street to have the West Side Cur Company, come over the Adamsstreet bridge and down Adams street toward the lake with a doaple track. Messrs. Field, Leiter, Steuri Osten & Sheldon, and the Connecticut Mutual have given their consent, and the permission of the Coun- cil is soon to be applied for. Some of the prop- erty-uwners object vigorously to the incursion of the strect-cars, as the Strect is so narrow that they will interfere with its regular business, Adams {sa narrow street. Hvom will not be ieft for carriages and wagons between the car-tracks and tHe sidewalk. Passengers going to the Guten Depot on the West Side will be certain to be irretrievably delayed by tho Jams that con- linually occur on streets Where horse-curs run. ‘The car company has nearly all the bridges now. ‘Taat at Adains gtrect must beleft for the ac- commodation of other people. Superintendent Holmes, of the South Side Car Company, promises that the. cable system will be in complete operation on State street before winter. Half 3 block of double track willbe built every day. The Company have now ut work on State street over 3) men en- gaged in digving trenches, placing the yoxes, Tails, and stringers, and preparing a nuuiber of other interesting but utterly indispensable op- erations in connection with the cable roud. The work, which was un at Harmon court, is now: done as far as Fifteenth street. The South Side Street-Railway Company has compicted its new double track on Root strect, from Wentworth avenue to the Stock- Yards. The Hyde Park Trustees buye under cunsider- ation the ordinance which bas been prepared for granting the right of way to the Sauth Cai- gaco & Western Indiana ftullroad Compauy. The route is to be as follows: Commencing ata point where the railroad crosses tho strand at Harbor avenue, under au ordinance heretofore granted to the Company. it ‘will run northerly along the cast thirty-three fect of the strand to Eighty-seventh street, thence fn_a northwestly direction to Rallrosd avenue in Sec. 9), Town- ship 3S north, Range 15, thence northwestly on Railroad nyenve to x point at or near the Juuc- tion of Seventy-first street, thence northerly on or along Yates avenue to Seventteth street, thence northwesterly wod westerly by the most convenient route to Sixty-eignth street, theace on or along Sixty-elghth strect to Linden ave- hue, with dutbority and permission to make a curve conucetion from some convenient point on Sixty-cighth street west of Stony Island nve- nue to some convenient point on Sixty-seventh street enst of Sheridan avenue, thence on or along Sixty-seventh street to the west line of the township.

Pullinan stated that the Pullman Association owned very nearly 4,0u0 acres of land. Not anacre of it, Mr. Pullman said, was for sale. He continued: “We will only lease to par- whom we are well satisfied will conform with our ideas in developing the place. We will-not allow any saloons or drinking-re- sorts in the town. We shall do all we can to cultivate the better fires of our work- men. In short, weshail do everything that is possible to improve thom. My idea has always been that it was to the employer's in- terest to see that his men are clean, corf- tented, sober, educated, and happy. They make better workmen, and they develop the employ- er'sindustries more. I shall try to benefit hu- manity where it isin my power todoso. Here + we shall have every attribute of atown exempli- fied, and Lhope to provide euch und every at- traction that can be desired churches, schools, gymunsiums, rend.ng-rooms, ete.” About $3,000 bave alcendy been spent on tho improvements at.

Mr. George M. Pullman met the Board of Trustees of Hyde Park last week ata special mesting, for the purpose of discussing a plan to furnish the. new Town of Pullman with water from tho Hyde Park works. Mr. Putlmun said that he wanted to take the water to the ‘Town of Pullman on One Hundred and Eleventh street, aud from that poiut {t would puss into the lofty water-tower erected at Pullman, and would be perfectly distributed throughout’ the town by a Water-miaia system ulready [uid. He was will- Ing to advance the cust of a main from Sixty- seventh strect to One Hundred and Bleventh street, a sua of $99,000, provided the main could be laid immediately vin Cottage Grove avenue. A committee consisting of Messrs.

Notice is given by the Controiler of New York, through the press, of the sale, under an old and curious fand law, of 4,509 houses and lots for default in the payment of taxes. All kinds of delinquents, among them the Astors, are in default for all kinds of taxes from water rates up to boulevard assessments. Where such defauits are not settled by Oct. 10 the property willbe sold, When the sule comes on the vari- ous lots und houses and lots go to the one who will pay all arrears and charges, and who will take tnem for the shortest number of years. When u man bas bought a house or lot be does not come into immed.ate possession. The de- Mnquent owner has tho right to redeem his Property in two years, paying interest at tho rate of 14 per cent. The taxbuyer does not get a fee simple. At ‘tha end of the period for which be bought the possession of the property. the owner or bis heirs may appear, turn out the tax-purebaser, and resume possession without paying a cent. Butin case no owner or heirs appeur, the ety comes tnto possession without paying anything. The tax-purebuser must make good nis Investmeut while he is in possession. He cannot sell the property, for be tus uo title tocouyey. In case of redemption tho tax-pur- chaser Cun take away any improvements he may have made on the property, but these are usually the subject of barguin, and remain with tho reil owuer. ‘The lnvzo dealers in real estate seldom trouble themselves with these wx suies: there is too much red tape to suit them. The ordinary pur- chasers appear to form a clique and make a business of it,one mansometimes buying dozens of lots. Theso men are well posted and are cer- tain to make money, Thon there is a strone temptttion in the chance ot getting a fine house and lot for a song; for if itis redeemed there ® Ui per cent interest, while if it is not the pur- chuser moves from n hovel, perbeps, into a pal- nee and flaunts forth a rich man atouce. The reason for bidding a thousand yearsis, of course, to.make sure of a long title; for, though those sold now will expire in the yeur 233i, that is about as far uhead as must people care to look in this world. It was not alone the Northwestern fur trade that guve the elder Astur his start in accumu- Jating millions, Immediately after the peace with Englund in 1783a large number of con- fiscated estntes were suld py the Federal Gov- ernment in this eity and State and io other States, Astor invested heavily in this property, which went fora soug,and was uble tobold: it unulit bad risen in value from hundreds to thousands of doliurs. He also had an eye, nnd a keen one, for real estate on this istwnd, and wns ready at Koy time .to buy and wait fora rise. Tho earliest ‘of these sules for unpatd taxes Would not fail to attract bis attention, and go, in one way and another, he came to be the owner of hundreds. if not thousand3, of acres in tho City of New York, the greater part of which yet remains in the family. A YANKEE TRICK. z A shrewd Yankee real-estate speculator has been at work in Niantic, Conn. The principal beauty of Niantic is its expansive bay, seen from the main street which runs along the front of the village. separated from the water by the track of the Shore- Line Railway. This street-is much above high-water mark, and the value of © the: property upon it chietly consists in the unob- structed view of the bay and the Sound, and it is a sweeping view, commanding Long Istand, Plum, Gardner’s, and fisher’s isiands, Whith innumerable small isles and all the fife that the busy commerce of the Sound produces, A modest-appearmg Yaukee from Hebron, a small interior town in Tolland County, cime here a year uzo on a prospecting tour to' builds smali summer house. in somo ingenious way he became possessed of the fact. that the owners of land in the main streetdid not own, as they all sungzosed ther did, the water water murk. He hunted up old deeds, and at last found the person in whom the title to the whole ‘was Invested, and bought it for a comparatively “small sum of money, His purehase covers tho ,entire distance of the street where it keeps by the bank, und extends westerly beyond the street course, giving him 2,000 or 3,000 feet of frontuge. One morning the villagers woke to the fact that it was possible for the new ownor- toerect cottages in front of thelr bouses ana shut off their prospect, and they were very in- dignant about it. At frst legal mensurcs were threatened, but as good counsel as Waldo, Hub- bara, and Fiyde, of Hartford, und Judze Lippert, of New London, xdvised that nothing bo done, as the Hebron man had the best of it. The owner bas made satisfactory terms with some of the residents, and probably all the others will bo willing todo somvthing handsome to save the value of whut they ulready owned. FALLEN FROM GRACE. An Agent of the Citlzens? League Jailed + for Being Drunk and Disorderly. Mr. Hugh Scott,’ who is—or was—the ageut at the Town of Lake for the “ Citizens’ League for the Suppression of the Sale of Liquor to Minors,” furnished un illustration yesterday of ridiculous inconsistency which was most laughable, while much to be re- gretted. In other words Mr. Scott had the sublime audacity to go and get drunk,—an officer of an organization formed for the pur- pose of rescuing the young from fhe vice of intemperance” ‘got so ott rageously “ full’ that he could not distin- guish 2 saloonkeeper from a preacher or a imiuor from 2 contenarian! ‘fo be sure, Mr. Scott is not n minor, being well nigh on to'two- score and ten, but, while the League wus formed especiully to protect minors, it never almed to instruct the youth that he could drink all be wanted to after becoming a mun, and particu- larly the League did not intend to sho within its Very fold un example of maturo*iutemper- ance. And the worst of it all is that Mr. Scott now languishes in juil because of bis shocking frreg- ularity. It appears that yesterday be was to have Prgeccuted a _saloonkeeper before some Justice on the chargo of- selling liquor to minors, but for some reason he re- colved a wessugo from headquarters to have the ease disunssed. [t fs supposed that the news of his uccertain condition hud reached headquar- ters, for on the previous day he hid been in court drunk, to prosecute some saloonkeepers. But Mr. Scott bad ~ too much aboard " to cun- cextl himself sagaciously, and he was seen zig- zugeing the streets by some of his enemies, the salconkeepers. Tho result was the swearing out ofa warrant against. him before: Justice Hotaling churging him with bemg drunk on the streets. “The execution of the warrant wits fn- trusted to Constable Kuhn wbo found Scott in bed at bis home, No. 2706 Buttertield street. ‘The accused, however, did not want his slum- ver disturbed, and be objected in a most vin- phatic munner to accompanying the officer to court,—resisted tho officer, in fact. But he wag finally brouzht Into the presence of Justice Hotaling, and arraigned on two charges, beng drunk on the street and resisting an otlicer. Oo tho latter churge he was examined forthwith, found guilty, and neld to the Crimianl Court. ‘The other case was continued to. Monday after- noou atl o'clock. Being unable to give bond im elther ease, the prisoner was brougat over to jail. A ‘TRIBUNE reporter saw Mr. terday afternoon und bad a talk wi ‘Tho prisoner was still too drunk by far to tell any- thing like u connected story of his troubles, and the ndor Gf bis breath was Hike unto tho per- fume of a four-story distillery, and was so strong that it must have aided bim materially in his struggle with the Constable. The etfect of Mr. 3 th on the reporter was akin to that of a champagne supper, thouzh. not 80 pleasant to tak Mr. Scott expinined that he was as tight as a Lord, but not from: drink—from cure and trouble lovking after the saloon me He satd he bad not touched a drop of Iquor “for two du, aud that bis arrest “waz nnoutragz!
