ROMANCE OF REAL ESTATE

Capitol was made to front in that direc-
ton The Goddess Of Liberty was made
20 face that way. and the founders OF the
city thought the trend Of growth would
be in that direction But the speculator
got possession or the land there, and Il
was held at what then seemed such fabu-
lOus prices that the tide OF growth was
forced back into the less desirable di-
rections.
The railroads have been among the
greatest factors IN the development OF
real estate values in the United States
When the first railroad was built in
America the extent OF the continental ter
ritory was OF the United States two-thirds
OF what II is al present. and although bill
lions OF dollars worth OF natural re-
sources have been taken OF the earth and
out OF its bosom since then. that part OF
the United States Is now worth more than
sixteen times as much as II was then.
seventy-fye years ago.
A fair estimate Of what a railroad
means 70 a community may be reached
IN another way. Suppose q new line OF
road Is built into an undeyelOped section
OF country, and that the resulting en-
hancement OF land values amounts 10
only $40 per acre for FIVE miles on either
side OF the road. on that basis every
mile Of railroad built would result IN an
increase Of $4,000 In real estate values
Compare this with the cost OF the average
mile Of railroad in the United States and
Canada. and 1t VIII be found that even
on this basis community gets a direct
benefit equal 10 the cost OF building a
railroad through *. 10 say nothing OF the
indirect benefits conferred.
Canada realizes the extent 20 which
railroads increase realty values. and Is
now aiding in the building of hundreds Of
miles OF line into undevel0ped territory.
She is making steel rails the advance agent
OF civilization. and expects 10 reap golden
harvests OF increased taxable values
She Is getting thousands OF the best citl-
zens Of the United States, and they are
taking with them millions OF dollars OF
wealth.
Incomes derived from real estate vary
remarkably IN some cases II goes into
the hundreds OF thousands per acre. as
In the skyscraper. and from that 20 moth
ing. Most cities place the net income
from business property at from 70 Z
per cent II must be remembered. how
ever. that this takes no account Of en-
hancement OF values. which sometimes
amount TO more than the net income from
rents
The average annual savings Of the peo-
pie OF the United States amounts 10 some
thing more than thirty dollars a year. as
shown by the Increases in wealth. More
than half % this comes from the enhance
ment OF real estate Statsticians figure
that the forthcoming census viii show an
Increase In wealth OF 500 per capita dur
ing the present decade.
