THE RECORD OF 4 YEAR.
The GLOBE this morning, sums up the
record of st. Paul for 1882. This is the
Fourth Annual Review which the GLOBE
has presented on the 31st of December
The work of previous years has paled into
insignifcance compared with the task Of
making the report of 1882. The progress
of the city has been so great that 1t IS
almost impossible to keep pace with it,
even in Imagination.
The resident of this city, or the stranger
from abroad, who inspects the ample pages
OF the SUxDAY CLOSE, viii find cause for
won1er and srrn-isc. Wonder 81 the ir,-
mense progress here recorded and surprise
that so much could be crowded into sin
gle year. A brief epitome viii lie perused
with interest:
A detailed statement CT al the buildings
erected in the year 1882, shows that there
were 2,825, costing IL the aggregate ten
million and forty thousand, seven hun
bred dollars.
The Manitoba road has expended $780,
600 in permanent Improvements in St.
Paul in 1882. The Northern Pacific has
expended $I50,G00 besides purchasing over
two hundred acres adjoining the city. The
St Paul and Duluth mas expended $150,000.
The Omaha road mas expended $4,000,
making nearly a million dollars that these
roads have expended in permanent i'm
provements il St Paul in 1882.
In St. Paul, street work is assessed upon
the property benefited, and is only ordered
upon petition OF the property desiring it.
It is significant, under the circumstances,
that st. Paul graded in 1882, fifty four
streets covering eighteen miles and costing
g over 100000. Four miles of sewers cost
the property 100000. Twenty-slz miles
of sidewalks were also laid in 1882.
There were 1898 sales Of real estate ag-
gregating nine million and thirty-eight
thousand six hundred and thirty-four dol
lars. These were not speculative pur-
chases, but almost the entire real estate
traffic has been fo- absolute improvement
There were $4,000 guests at ST. Paul
hotels in 1882.
The returns Of rostonice receipts show a
gain in each month of 1892 over 1881
ranging from $4,000 TO $4,000.

799,898. The deposits $10.920,369, and
$91,00O,OoO of exchange was sold in 1882.
The wholesale business shows several es-
Establishments dong three or four million
dollars business in the year, the whole ag-
gregating sixty rine million dollars, an in
crease of eighteen and half million.
Manufactures aggregate twenty -four
million, an increase of eight million.
The custom receipts for imported goods
doubled in 1882, and were four times as
great as in 1879.
The population OF St. Paul is from sew
enty five to eighty thousand, while the
deaths were but 1889 for the entire year.
This is remarkable showing when it is
remembered that ST. Paul is a great resort
for invalids, and many come too late. Our
death rate is also swelled by parties in
jured on railroads terminating here being
brought to our hospitals.
