A HOPEFUL VIEW.
The Real Estate journal las the following
hopeful view of the real estate values of the
city. based upon our having all honest City Gov
ernment:
The market was inst recovering from the shock
that came in 1879, when by sheer neglect OF duty
on the part Of honorable citizens the Peoples ~
party Of rarscal:ons we're elevated to power. They
were. for the most part, men unaccustomed to
honorable positions and by nature incapable Of
usin" their privileges without abusing them. Ne
do not wish to repcat the nauseatIng account OF
their de;ngs, their lavish expenditures. DOWN
right tievcry on a mammoth scale, their creation
Of innuuerahle sinecurea for political abetto1s,
etc. Suffice it to- say, that ere long capital drew
backin genuine alarm, and would not risk itself in
city cursed with mikrule. This put real estate
investment at lower pulse than it had before
Immediately Investments in land began to increase
Then came the dates of maturity for city notes
and obligations: and the City Treasury was found
to he empty OF funds to meet them. This, again,
ruined confidence, and purchases fell OF greatly.
An honorable government has since that time been
thinking, toitng: and struggling to bring order
and the rigid economy inauguzated on every hand
resulting in reducing the expenses Of the city
nearly s., 600, 600 per annum-has, aided by the
pay every dollar it has had from Others, almost
completely restored confidence, and again capital
il knocking loudly nt our gates for entrance, and
In the prosperity which is looming up
In the future for this growing city,
