The possibilities Of usefulness to society in

ment on the labors of individuals or of cor
porations The greater the expenditure of
labor the higher is the estimate Of value.
This is the rule of civilization. Land has
reached its highest price on this side the Ii
lantic in the lower wards of New York.
When the D1exel building, at the southeast
corner of Wall and Broad streets, was
erected, the price per square foot OF the
ground whereon it stands was the highest
paid up to that time When, in 1882, Viii
liam H. Vanderbilt gave $40 per square foot
for the lots on Fifth avenue, Fifty-second
and FIfty-third streets, on which the family
mansions stand, that was the highest price
ever paid for residential purposes. For store
sites on Fifth avenue sos per square foot was
paid in March, 1886. D. .. Mills paid SSt

magnificent building on Broad street, the
