WHEELING REAL ESTATE.

The Very Decided improvements which
Have Been Made During the Past Year.
Real estate in Wheeling shows a marked
improvement for lsS7, over l~S6, in a
variety OF ways, notably in the stiftening
of prices, the active demand, and the
great improvements which have been
made in tie way of new buildings of both
a public and private nature. The
transfers made show an increase OF l@l
over ls-5. not Including the old Far
Ground sale of l73 lots, with corrcs-
ponding increase in the figures reFrys"nt-
ing the total value Of the property boaght
and sold. In the opinion OF those most
competent to Judge, the value "i the prop
crty in the city changing hands within the
yea: ia not far from one million dollars,
an increase of about two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars over the preceding year

some Of the Things Wheeling Has Accom-
pIIshed within Recent Years.
Wheeling is slowly but none the less
surely moving forward \ few years have
wrought many and important changes in
the town, although they have for the most
part come So quietly and been received in
such matter-ot-Course spirit that their
full effect has been lost. It is not many
years ago that Wheeling was nothing more
than an ovcrgrown town, with unpaved
and luadequately lighted aud policed
streets, volunteer fire department" OF
uncertain value, restricted water supply,
and very Indifferent public facilities
generally. From this condition we have
come to have all the advantages of great
city, with corresponding increase in the
general welfare and happiness. To besure,
some OF these additions to our comfort and
safety and convenience have not been made
possible without more or less energetic oh
iectious on the part of some, hut they have
come all the same, and little by little those
who opposed them the most earnestly have
come to see that the innovations We're good
things. and that their hostility was uu-
called for and not justified. Let US see
what some OF these improvements were.
BEGINNING with the paid fire depart
ment. there followed the city control of the
cos works. the increase OF the police force.
and the institution OF a night force, the

,yLS not dollar OF loss by fire, in July
there was bat eight dollars, and in No
yemher hut seyenty-twO dollars. The
largest number OF alarms of all classes
w,S in March, fifteen, but the aggregate
loss i0g that month was but Sl6j, or
but an average OF eleven dollars to
each alarm. Had it not been for the ex-
r.Fuonal tires al the hinge and bung tao
tories. tie Isl tire loss would have been
below that OF l--G, when it was 81, 1875
But even the actual loss OF $40, 922 is very
small for city OF the size Of Wheeling
aud u is q subject Tor cougratulatiOn, Is
pecially when il Is remembered that the
total value of the buildings on fire, with
property therein contained, was about
$500, 600. During the year the department
was strengthened by the addition of mag
nIticcut hook aud ladder truck, new hose
wagon and sixteen hundred feet Of new
lose, giving the department over seven
thousand feet of hose. The department
has in contemplation the purchase OF q
oue-horse chemical engine for the coming
year, to he stationed at the Hope house.
POLICE.
The police force have done excellent
work during the year. There have been a
total Of 1852 arrests in the twelve
months ami the fines and costs assessed
foot up lO,3'S 56. The men have upon
several occasions distinguished themselves
by prompt work, both in their legitimate
line aud at fires, and are entitled to all
praise
