Values as Indicated by the Record
of Fifteen Years.
SOME IMP ROW EME n I S

this reason, as well as, perhaps, the gen.
eral interest which is taken in property
values on what is regarded as the princi-
pal street of the nations capital, more at
tention is paid to sales when they are
made than Is usual with similar transac-
lions in other localities.
Last week The Star added to its property
holdings on the avenue by the purchase
of premises No. 1105. for which $3.50 per
square foot was paid. This week deed
was recorded transferring piece of prop
erty on the avenue between 9th and 10th
streets the consideration being $40 a foot.
The further details of these purchases may
be found below, in the list which is given
of the transactions in avenue property run
ming back over a period of fourteen years.
AS will be seen, the movement IN properly
en- this thoroughfare has not been, during
the time referred to, very active, and 1t
will TO doubt be surprise to many to
know that the transfers have been SO linz
tied in number. 1t is not claimed that the
list is complete one, but 1t is very nearly
so, and includes all of the important trans
actions in the period indicated. The list is

ing first given and then the price paid per
