Changes In the Value OF Real Estate I'm shs
Lower Wards OF the City OF New York.


1t is curious to notice the changes which have oc-
CURED in the value of real estate in the CONNER
cia part Of this city, during the last thirty year.;
and to observe that, notwithstanding the constant
Increase of the city in wealth and population such
are the whims and fsncies Of men Of business, some
locations in the lower wards, where the trade and
commerce of this emporium carried on, are
actually valued at less than they were twenty OF
thirty yean since. This is shown by the rate
at which such property is constantly sold, or IL
valued by the assessors for taxes, the compare
tive rents paid thereon. We propose to give q
few instances as the result Of inquiries
and observations-6rst remarking that the in
crease of the value ofreal estate in the lower part
OF the city has been great in the aggregate, a.
might be supposed, from the general removal OF
families up town, and the conversion of dwelling
houses in the lower wards into stores, hotels and
boarding houses.
The following is the comparative valuation Of
real estate, assessed, in the four lower wards in
1882 and 49,

Another evidence Of the petty manner In which
IT was expected Colonel Collier should conduct kis
Office az Collector is the fact that he was Hsstsd
to an expenditure Of $50 for safe, in which 10

chase one at that rate, but without success. He
was offered one for 81, ZOO, which at public auction
realized $500 Being restricted, he was obligsd,
therefore, to get on as we'll rs he could and keep
the public moneys in his room, without a vauls,
and without safe, having upwards Of q million %
dollars in 1t at time, and afraid to leave his over
sight OF 1t for moment, lest il might be stolen.
This was the condition Of things when the first
great IRE broke out in San Francisco, and but
for Colonel Golfers resolution the flames weuld
in all probability have consumed the Collectors Of

stolen. AS it was, it was with great dificulty No

gated round the building, and dema nded com pensa~
ton for assisting him in saving the Office lie was
attacked by these men, and was obliged TO cali
upon the officer Of the cutter in the harbor
for protection, which was promptly rendered.
In conclusion, from what we have heard, We think
that Colonel Collier perfectly justified in all he
did. He did not hesitate to assume responsibility.
when it necessary for him to do 20, for the in
terest of the government and the mercantile com
munity. If he had been timid or IL he had a.
ciined to disregard for the time being. the strict
letter Of the law, chaos would have rcigned SUI

vernment would have lost everything and properly
to the value Of several millions Of dollars would
