Realty in Minneapolis

Edmund G. Walton gives the following
on the ratio Of rent to assessed valuation:
The relation Of income to real value is a
very interesting subject to real egtate men
and owners Of property, and as the assessed
valuation is so graduated as to eqUalize the
weight Of taxation, it may be interesting to
many to study the relation per square foot Of
value as fixed by the assessor and the income
as fixed by the landlord. The figures used
are for ground floor rents only, computed as
nearly accurately possible.
No. 246 Nicollet avenue has a rental value
on the ground floor of $1,600, which is 70
cents a square foot income as against $6.3
a square foot assessed value, while No 324
Nicollet avenue has a rental value of So, ,000
which is $1:21 a square foot income as against
$506 square foot assessed value.
Comparison in this way should act wonder
fully in keeping purchasers from making mis-
takes when investing; inasmuch as my fig
ures plainly show that, although No S24
Nicollet is less valuable than No. 246 Nicol-
let it actually rents for much more-the
real percentage in its favor being as S75 to
418.
Take the store, No. 524 Nicollet, which has
a rental value Of $4,000 a year, being 22xSS
feet, it's rental value square foot Is S1.54
as against an assessed value of $787, The
store, No. 407 Nicolet, occupied by G. D.
White, only 22x66 feet rents for $240O a
year, or $1.65 square foot, but is assessed
at $10.23, quite a difference and one that re-
duced to actual comparison shows in favor
of No. 524 Ncoller as 620 to 511.
One does not necessarily have to compare
Nicollet avenue properties with themselves.
We can take a store on First avenue for
instance. No. 225 First avenue S has floor
space of 22x100 feet; its assessed value is
$293 a square foot and income 54 cents; No.
622 Nicollet is assessed at $3.50 a square
foot and has an income of $1.15, showing favor
once again to upper Nicollet in a ratio of
SAP to All.
However you figure and however you twist
around it is plainly shown that for low tax
alton and large income, you want to hover
around Sixth street and Nicollet avenue. 1t
may be that rents are wrongly adjusted, |
myself think rents far too low and am max
ing every effort to double up on them, but
ttakeg time and good judgment, However,
it will come.

sen does not seem to have the hold on the
voters that he had when mayor before.
Hugo's reelection will make him a strong
man in politics. The opposition to Page Nor
ris is building up some hopes on him, but
Hugo's friends say he will not be in Morris
way next year Hugo has always been a
Morris man, and while personal ambition
might lead him to seek congressional nomi-
nation, he is weather wise enough to see the
poor policy of tackling Morris under the
primary law. He might lead Morris in Du-
luth, but in the rest of the district Morris
would snow him under Morris declares that
he will retire after one more term, and that
will be Hugo's chance.

Illinois Central Credited With Pro-
posed Purchase of Nj. & st. L.
NEW YORK, March 25.-The Mail and
Express says:
1t is stated today on authority that a
deal for the acquisition of the Mime
apolis & st. Louis and Iowa Central by
the Illinois Central will shortly be closed
Negotiations have been pending for some
time. There was a hitch in the matter
of price, but it is expected that a COM
promise will be reached
The Illinois Central offered to guar
antee per cent on the common stock of
the Minneapolis & st. Louis, while the
owners of the latter held out for five,
claiming that the company is now earn
ing upward of on the common The
plan is for the Minneapolis g. St. Louis
first to absorb the Iowa Central, with
an exchange of Minneapolis & ST. Louis
stock for Iowa Central stock on an
agreed basis.
There will be no trouble about the
merger of the two smaller roads, for
both of them are controlled by the same
group of capitalists. The acquisition of
these two roads would give the Illinois
Central an entrance into St. Paul and
Minneapolis and also give it better con-
troll of Iowa and Southern Minnesota ter
ritory
The Minneapolis & st. Louis has Sc, 00O-
GA of common and 100000 of per cent
preferred. The Iowa Central has So, 512 900
of common and Sc, $4,000 per cent pre-
ferred. The deal in behalf of the Illinois
Central is being conducted by E. II.
Hartman, who is one of the controlling
men in that property"
