Overbuilding of Cities.

Z. v. Smalley in the New York Post
A real estate man who goes about this
city good deal tells me that there are
today in Chicago 10000 vacant flats and
dwelling houses, and that on West Madi-
son street alone. thoroughfare tina: runs
far out to the city limits and is the chief
business artery of the west side, 800 empty
stores can be counted. When you go a
little way out of the business center by
cable or electric cars you notice tall build
ings and small buildings on either hand
that are speckled with signs of For Rent
In fact. this big. growing city was about
as badly overbuilt during the period Of
excessive speculation as were any of the
new and bOastful towns of Kansas or OF
the Pacific coast, and it will probably take
four or five years of steady development to
bring the population up to full occupancy
of the existing facilities for housing it
and furnishing it with business offices and
stores. Tine result of this zeal for building
has been a heavy decline in rents. For
flats and small stores the decline ranges
from 80 to so per cent. Office rent in the
new tail buildings has gone down about 70
per cent. II any properties now yield their
old incomes they are such as are very
favorably located in the immediate center
and whirl of the business movement Chi
cago. like New York. has its best business
district pretty closely limited and cor
rallied. Here the boundaries are set by the
river on two sides and the lake on third.

UNCLE SANS FIRST POSTAGE STAMP
Josh billings" Father Was tn,
First Purchaser. Fifty Years Ago.
Er,,m the Ladies' Home Journal

Josh billings" Father Was the
First Purchaser. Fifty Years Ago.
From the Ladies' Home Journal.
Fifty years ago-in July, 1S47-Uncle Sam
issued his first postage stamps In Eng
land, seven years before, Rowland HILL
father of the penny post" introduced the
sticking plasters," as the stamps were
contemptuously called. John NJ Niles, our
Postmaster General at that time, tried
heroically. but in vain, to move Congress
to authorize stamps for this country. His
successor, Cave Johnson, was more fortu-
nate, and the bill desired was approved on
March ), 1917, the stamps not being issued
however, till August, though the time ap-
pointed was July 1. Only two values of the
new stamps were introduced in 1S47-a 3
ard 1o-cent stamp, bearing, respectively
the portrait of Franklin in bronze tint
and Washington in black.
The first purchaser of stamps in the
United States was Henry Shaw, the father
of Henry Wheeler Shaw DIETER known as
Josh Billings" the humorisU. Mr. Shaw
was in the Postmaster Generals Office on
August q. 1917, when Mr.. Johnson entered
with the printer from whom he had Just
received sheets of the new stamps. Mr.
Johnson passed a sheet to Mr.. Shaw for in
spection- After giving the stamps a hasty
glance. Mr.. Shaw, perhaps with an eye to
fl ture fame, took out his wallet counted
out 10 cents, and purchased one of each
variety. The five" he kept as curiosity,
the ten he presented to Gov. Briggs as
an appropriate gift.
