PETER GROGAN, 817 -19-21-2 23 Seventh Street. Bet. H and | Sts. not fail to a reliable NEGRO PROPERTY OWNERS IN PHILADELPHIA. The Negroes of Philadelphia own 802 pieces of property valued at $2,438,675, which is an average of about $3040 each The largest number of properties are valued between $1000 and $3000, and nearly three-fourths of them are $3000 and under. The highest single valua- tion is $28,000 and the lowest a lot for $75. Though the assessed valuation is supposed to approximate as nearly as possible the rea] value of the property, still, after careful comparison, I am of the opinion that the above represents an investment of between four and a half and five million dollars by the Ne- groes concerned, Besides the above there are about forty church edifices owned by Negroes valued at from $1000 to $500,000. There are many Negroes who own real estate outside of the city. known to the writer to have more than 25,000 worth of real estate in other places, while many others own a lot or smali farm outside of Philadelphia. The largest individual Negro property holder in the city owns not less than twenty- three city houses, assessed at from $9000 to $18,000, and own property also in| New Jersey and Virginia. He was born in Virginia of slave parents, and came j to Pennsylvania after he was twenty-one , years of age. He has steadily built up a good business, and amassed a large | amount of real etate, besides being finan- ' cially interested in many of the business and industrial movements among the Negroes of the city—Richard R.Wright- Jr, in the Southern Workman. Our old friend, W. E. Fletcher, car- rier at the Postoffice, has been assigned to day duty. He and Bill Champ have been on night duty for a long time They are now now able to travel by | daylight. (This is for the information of their friends.) Mr. Champ is the historian of the Amprion Glee Club, and one of the boys.
