stupendous figure; the steady rise and
value of New York property; the wide
spread good times which naturally are
reflected in the city's financial sphere.
During the past fifty years AL other
forms Of business and investments have
been exposed to reactions. panics and bad
flnanciering. Yet New York land values
have risen steadily. 1t has called for no
business shrewdness or technical sagacity
on the part of it's owners. 1t has grown in
worth and Importance with the growth Of
the metropolis.
Statistics show an increase Of S516, 904. 944
in the assessed values of real estate in the
greater city during the past year; including
those suburbs which are in the projected
new rapid transit zone, the increase is
$500, coz, COO This enormous sum represents
a total much less than the real increase in
values for one year. The assessors do not
place full market value on the citys real
estate, especially in the outlying districts.
Their figures represent on an average not
more than 60 per cent of such valuations.
Present values in most of the suburbs are
rising under the influence of steady buying.
There are advances every week. Every
month or two adds 10 to 20 per cent to
values in many of the more desirable sec
tions. The work of the city appraisers was

feet long, SO feet wide, and two stories high,
with a basement and attic. Vitrified gray
brick, as in the older portion, Is used in
the front, and on the north side an ar
caded walk. which is continuation of that
on the barracks already completed, the lat
ter being on the west side Of the square.
Arrangement Of Building.
The new building is arranged for the dis
pensary, guard room, gymnasium, pistol
range, amusement hall and band room.
The band room will probably be the fea-
ture of greatest interest to the public, as
this is intended for the practice room Of
the Marine Band. in which Washington
takes much Interest and pride. This room
Is forty-four feet wide. Lightweight feet
long and twenty-six feet high, with alcove
at the east end sixteen feet deep and thirty
two feet wide in addition. In this alcove.
and extending beyond it into the main
body of the hall, is a stepped platform for
q band Of eighty pieces. The hall has
galleries ten feet wide on the north and
west sides, and the ceiling Is broken up
into large panels by deep beams crossing
in both directions. These beams, which

closed before current high prices levels had
been attained. 1t Is believed that they will
show even greater increases for the next
year.
Half of the 5000 900 900 increase on the
assessment books was due to building OPP
erations It represents 3OO.OO0,OO0 which
was placed in new construction during the
19O5-1906 year. This net result Is thus in
creased in land values of $500 100000
The total assessed value of real estate
in all the boroughs of the greater city is
SIS, 73S, 4S7, PAS for 1906. Last year the total
assessed values in the greater city were
s., 211 .5S2, POI and S., 400, 100000 with the
outside suburbs.
The 5000, 600 900 increase in valuation dur
ing the past year is made up of major
amounts for Manhattan, Brooklyn and the
Bronx, leaving 100000 for the suburbs
of Long Island.
All Of the $500. 600. 900 which represents
land enhancement has gone to the profit
account of patient real estate holders.

NEW PRACTICE HALL
FINE BUILDING ERECTED FOR
THE MARINE BAND.

The United States Marine Band, regard
ed as the oldest and best organization of
its kind in America, was this week in
stalled in its new practice hall, the finest
for the use of any service band, here or
abroad. 1t is thoroughly modern in every
respect. and not only roomy, but possessed
of good acoustic properties. It filed a long
felt want, particularly in the winter time,
when the elements preclude the possibility
of working out of doors.
The new building an addition to the
marine barracks, is located on 1 street be-
tween Sth and 9th streets southeast. 1t is
of fireproof construction, with walls of
brick and floors and roof of reinforced con-
crete. Occupying the full length of the

II every land owner would plant In every
available place such trees as would not only
give present beauty, but also insure a fu-
ture supply of valuable timber. 1t would 80

VALUES IN NEW YORK.
Growth In Greater City
During Last Year.

The most startling and stupendous growth
and real estate activity the world ever saw
in one city was in New York In 1906.
Rapid transit improvements at New
York. together with the tremendous growth
of population. were responsible for a total
rise of land values in Greater New York
and it's suburbs last year amounting to
5000, coo, Co.,
And the activity of New York realty in
general is shown by the fact that the total
recorded real estate operations during 1905
involved S2,265, 1876, 800.
That is an ipcomprehensible amount, but
1t conveys the idea of the vastness of the
total annual transactions.
The record breaking activities include
the continuous growth of New York in
wealth and population; the construction Of
rapid transit routes-subways and bridges

CHANCE FOR CHILDREN.
How Pennies Can Be Invested in Real
Estate.

Teach the children how to save by hav-
ing them put their pennies in real estate"
This is a suggestion of a st. Louis real
estate man who Is too modest to father
the idea, but has thought it all over and
concludes that If children are started right
in saving money it is their own fault If
they fail to acquire riches.
1.-The best way to teach children to save
is to give them a definite object to save
for" he says. BUY a small piece of prop
erty for them and help them to pay for it
on the installment plan. Let them under
stand that it is their own individual prop
erty, and that they must strive to meet the
payments.
"They will work hard and save every
penny to meet their obligations, and also

MORE CITY WORK.
A Proposition for Municipality-own-
cd House.

In concluding a series Of lectures on ex-
listing evils and their remedies, DIR. Felix
Adler Of New York advanced q new plan
for the solution Of the rent problem. He
proposes that the city buy large tracts Of
land in the suburbs and build attractive
homes thereon. to be rented at a figure
within the reach of the average working
man, while at the same time the property
might return a fair percentage on the in
vestment. In his opinion. the worst of the
evils now existing in the city is the high
rent that must be paid by the poor. To
this end he would form social league
composed of working people not in the
trade unions. and of thinkers and leaders
to forward this and other reforms AL
though DIR. Adler takes exception to social
ISM he believes the time is coming when
the individual will be replaced by the
group, and says if this is collectivism he is
for 1t.

Editor National Tribune: In your
history of the Army of the Potomac you
pay a high tribute to the enlisted men
of the old Regular Army, and well they
deserve it, for every inducement was Of
gered to them to desert their colOrs. yet
not a man betrayed his trust. For In
stance, the Sth u. S. was serving in
Texas when the traitor Twiggs surren-
dered them to a lot of cutthroats, but
prison and starvation had no effect on
these patriots, and such was the ma
terial our old Regular Army was COM
posed of. The old Regulars had a record
for discipline that was never equaled
by any army in the world. The men
who composed that army have nearly
all passed away, and We VIII never see
their like again. They have left his
tory behind them that can never be
duplicated.-Michael Noles, 18th Pa,
