IL can be seen that Il rate based on Il
21U-Inilc haul must necessarily seem
excessive when We consider the actual
distance between towns a and ID.
This Is also true Of the rate between
and G: pole line 200 miles, direct
line III miles: and between B and ID
rs well. where the pole line route
amounts to $50 miles, while by direct
ur AIR line" IL Is only 40 miles.
II Is clear from the above illustra
tiun that. aS our lines were extended
aud rates based upon pole line mileage
nr routes, taking it throughout the
whole system, there have grown up in
many cases, what appear to the public,
high charges for comparatively short
distances; while between other points.
as To Il, the charges are consistent
in nearly all cases.
However, this company has decided
that the only solution Of this impnr-
tant problem will be straight.

basis: such basis, it has been deter.
mined, to be entirely just and equit.
able To all, must be figured, approx
matcly, on air line distances between
all points, altogether disrcgarding the
pole line routes.
We have, therefore, cut up the terri
tory by dividing the whole into sec

by Figure No. ,.

WHO PAID FOR sKYscRAPERs.
Who Provides the s25o,ooo, 900 Invest
ed in Wall Street Facilities?

take Il that no effective denial
can be entered against the assertion
that many of the superb buildings
which are massed in Wall Street DIS
trict of New York are largely de-
voted to housing concerns which draw
their revenue from the speculative
public. This same public partially
paid for their efeciiOn-it continues
10 contribute the funds which make
such investments profitable.
The reader will be appalled, by the
facts | am about 20 cite and the un-
answeratle proof | am about to sub
nit:
II is not alleged that what is known
as the Wall Street district is en-
tirely devoted 10 the purpose OF spec
ulation. II includes hundreds, and
possibly thousands of firms which
have no direct concern with the va
rious exchanges; but ii is possible to
arrive at a reasonably close approx
nation TO the total paid by those who
defray the cost of the Wall Street
Game.
The tax books Of New York City
show that the Wall Street district is
assessed at a figure between $2OO,OO0,-
900 and $500, 100000, the exact
amount being dependent on what may
properly be included in the term,
wall Street district" Within the
most reasonable boundaries for this
district must be included property
worth at least the former figure; and
II may be assumed that the real sell
ing value is nj least twenty per cent
in excess OF that assessed against the
owners.
1t is ultra-cOnservativc 20 assert
that one third of this capitalization is
employed in catering TO speculative
enterprises and employment. This
constitutes an item of s75.O0O.O00 for
New York City. alone, and the nation
will swell this TO $1O0,000,000 and
more.
We have taken no account of the
cost of the fixtures in the thousands
of offices in these buildings: neither
has mention been made of many other
items which properly belong in this
calculation. The total amount OF
fixed capital invested in the specu-
lative game in the United States Is
approximately indicated in the follow
ing:
Invested in Exchange Buildings,
Tickets. 500. 900 Invested in Of
flee Buildings. s100000000. Figures

BUILDING Operations in 1903.

The total cost of the buildings
erected in the principal cities OF the
United States in 1908 was $546.461
800 according to Jefferson Middle
ton, of the United States Geological
Survey, who has collected statistics
on this subject in connection with
his investigations Of the clay working
industries. In 1907 the cos of build
ings in these. same cities reached
total of S62eSfs.s90. The decrease
in cost in 1908 therefore amounts to
s79, 500. 1913 per cent.
Rank of Cities
The relative rank OF the cities in
cost of building operations is inter
esting. New York is first. the cost
of its lrlildings exceeding the cost OF
those of its closest competitor. Chica-
go. by $50 1852. or more than 10
per cent. If the cost of operations in
Brooklyn. the third city in rank, is
added to that for New York, the total
will be s163.6S4,G22. or 80 per cent
of the cost OF the building operations.
OF the cities included in the table.
San Francisco is fourth in rank, Phil
adelphia is fifth. and 81. ipuis Is
sixth. Seventh in rank is the small
though rapidly growing city. Seattle,
which spent more for buildings in
1908 than PittsbuTg. which was eight,
Boston. which was ninth. and other
cities much larger. This great ac-
tivity in Seattle is ascribed to the ex-
tremely low prices of buiiuing materi-
ais and labor.
