Real Estate in stockho

An article on real estate and real estate
mathods in Stockholm, in the Chicago Real
Estate Bulletin, says the most valuable
land in Stockholm is worth from $40 to SIG
per square foot. The value of improved
property is based on what it rents for, and
it is considered that it ought TO yield a
yearly gross income of or per cent. on
its value.
Annual taxes amount to OF ~ per cent.
on the value of the property. In selling
real estate "a contract OF purchase is gen
orally drawn up, as with US, and letter
of purchase" so-called, is used instead
Of a deed. When party buys
real estate, in order 20 de-
fend his right against previous owner and
all others, he applies for so-called legaliza-
ton, and a certificate of Equalization" is
issued by court of the city, where the
records are written up. Before said court
the buyer exhibits the documents by which
he claims rights of ownership, and after
examination, if found correct, he receives
the above mentioned certificate Of legali-
cation" A stamp tax is levied, amount
ing TO six-tenths of per cent. on the price
paid for the property, and for the extract
of the minutes charge is made varying
from IS to SO These costs are paid by
buyer and seller alike, each paying one
half, unless otherwise provided in the
CONTRACT OK purchase. Inc owner Oh
real estate desiring to borrow
money on his real estate executes bond to
the lender, which runs something like this
viz; "Six months after either side giving
notice. l agree to pay the bearer so much
money. with per cent. interest per year,
payable semi-yearly from this day until
paid, value received, which is certified, and
/ give consent that to secure this obligation
mortgage may without notice be taken out
against my property" Said bond is there
after exhibited before the proper court,
where it is entered aud certified to be in
force after such a mortgage, or whether it
is q first lien, etc. For making
said Endorsement stamp tax of
4 per cent. of the amount involved is paid !;
also fee OF about 81 % for the minutes. A
mortgage is in force for a period of ten
years, during which time it can be renewed
for another ten years from the date of re-
newal. Mortgages are foreclosed much the
same as with US. In case Of death, unless a
will has been made, the surviving husband
or wife receives oue-half of the property,
while the other half is divided equally be-
tween the children. Husband and wife
generally have half interest in the real es-
tate of their consorts, regardless Of whether
there are children or not.

Value of newspaper Property

Hardly any kind of property has increased
more IN value during the last fifteen years
than newspaper property. There must be
in every one Of our leading cities news
papers that could not be purchased for
million or more; many Of them could not
be purchased for any price. George NJ.
Pullman is said to have offered lately
Joseph Medill 81 900, 900 for his controlling
interest in the Chicago Tribune--a little
more than half. Medill, who is about 6S,
and in rather delicate health, is willing to
sell. but asks 81, 500 900 for his stock, and is
unwilling to take a dollar less. II he was
twenty years younger, and entirely robust,
no amount of money would tempt
him to part with his interest.
journalism is to him as the apple
of his eye. Although he studied and
practised law in his youth. he founded the
Republican, a free-soil wing paper, at Co
shOcton, o. when be was 26 He was always
opposed 70 slavery. In 1854 he was one OF
the twelve men who formed the Republican
party in Cleveland. Tie same year he went
to Chicago and bought with others the
Tribune, with 81 ich he has been connected
ever since, having been its controller and
