As striking instance of the rapid increase Of the
value Of real estate at the West we notice sale
few days ago by the Trustees of the Illinois and Mich
gan Canal Of piece of land just within the city limits
Of Chicago for s62 OO0 which offered seven years
ago for $4,000. Another significant fact Is that about
year since the lands of this trust were estimated to
be worth half million of dollars. The Trustees have
since sold lands 10 that amount and the remainder are
now valued at half million. These facts have very
important bearing upon the question OF the value OF
the lands Of the Illinois Central Railroad Co., and
upon the result upon that value of the gradual settle
ment OF portions of those lands along the line of the
Road.
