DWELLINGS FOR THE RICH.
"The rich grow richer in New-York and the poor
uoorsrn said a well-known real estate dealer re-
Gently He thought the real estate market IN this
oitv would prove this, as the time would soon como
when poor man could not own a homo in New
York and pay the expenses of maintaining 1t. At
the rate of increase in taxes during the last twenty
wears there may be some truth IN this assertion.
The popularity of cooperative homes, as French
flats and apartment-houses might be termed, is sn-
other evidence Of the fact. In 1869 there was one
F repch fat building erected partly as an expert
mani. These houses were not in demand, and there
was not an other one erected until 1872 and then
only one. It took three years more, or until the
ninchinU times of 1878, before there was q real
demand for this class of building; then 112 were
erected The number erected has increased every
year with the exception OF 1873, Wnen tneIe was o
considerable decrease. In 1879. however, 253 such
buildings were erected, and last year this number
was more than doubled.
The number of first-class dwellings, erected each
year with their total cost given below, is another
evidepce of the rapidly increasing popularity OF this
CITY as place OF residence for the rich. There were
more frst-cIass buildings erected in 1880 than in
any wear since 1868, except 1871, and there was
four times as much money invested this way "a in
1874 The table shows the number of frst-class
dwellings, with their total cost and the nunbar Of
French fats erected in each year since 1858, the

PLAN FOR AN UNDERGROUND ROAD
TALK WITH THE TREASURER OF THE CENTRAL TUN-
MEL RAILWAY COMPANY
With reference to the Central Tunnel Railway
Company, for which articles of Incorporation have
been filed at Albany, H. c. Stetson said yesterday to
a TRIBUNE reporter that no doubt was entertainer
of the charters being granted. All OF the capital,
$4,000, 900. had been subscribed by some OF the
wealthiest men in the city. General John Cochrane
was president, William E. Worthen, vicepresident.
William Kent, secretary aud he himself treasurer.
Before work was begun it would be necessary to
gain the consent of the property-Owners along the
line Of the proposed tunnel. AS the objections
against elevated roads did not prevail against those
underground no trouble was anticipated IN secur-
ing tho right Of way.
"The company was organized last Friday" con-
tinued Mr. Stetson. and the following day the art
cles were sent to Albany. Il is premature to give
many details of the plans but the route as
tends from the CITY Hall to the Grand Central Depot
The lower terminus will be at or near the Clty han
Square. Thence the road will extend TO CbamDersy-
st.; through and under block to Em.st.; thrsugn
Elm-st. to Spring-st.; under the block 10 Treas
Jonesst.; thence through Lafayette-piace 10 Nlntn
ST. under the block to Ienth-st:; ana up sav
where the intermediate stations will be placed, out
they will be as close together at least as those on
the elevated roads, The design Is 10 MAKE qu'Ck i
transit and to that end large engines Will Do em-
ployed The stations will be made to suit the con,
yenience and comfort of passengers. PROVISION
against smoke and cinders will be made by supply
ing the engines at the ends OF the route with water
sufficiently hot to be converted into steam Oy ineauS
OF coke fire."
"Yes Freight will he carried as well as passen-
gers especially during the night hours 1t is thonght
that such facilities will meet want by reducing
the expenses Of trucking, and VIII secure quicker
transportation" On
Have the passenger rates been agreed ppon ]"
"That is 9 detail that has not been settled AS
matter of course IL would not do to charge nlRher
rates than those on the elevated lines; II ,they
should differ at all it would be in the other dreG,
ton One of the great advantages of the road VIII
be that Brooklyn people desiring to reach the Grand
Central Depot can cross by the bridge twhen II u
COMP eted) and take train that will 20 through
without change"
MT. Stetson said further that tho company did not
anticipate any interference with the proJect on
legal grounds. Although he could rot state den.
nitey when work would be begun, he could say tnat
the company was good faith organization, and
that the steps had not been taken with view OF
forestalling anybody else. but for the purpose OF
building the road as soon as practicable IL was not
at all improbable that work would be begun some
ti.ae in the spring or early summer
