FORTUNE IN REAL ESTATE
story of n Lot That Increased in Value
5000 per Cent.

There is SAYING that on the whole
more gold has gone into mines than has
come out OF them. says the New York
Times. Such is not the case with we'll
chosen New York realty. In the news
papers recently was the report of a
legal valuation Of a corner on And street
at Times square which has increased in
value 1000 per cent. In less than 20 years
In 1897 1t was sold for $500 at a public
sale. where anybody might have bought
who had the price, and some would have
bought without having the price If they
could have foreseen what followed. Now
the land alone is assessed for $3.50 nD
and meanwhile the property has been a
good Garner The increment is SO unusual
that there was a charge Of collusion in
the auction Of 1897. The court dismissed

property were absolutely unforeseen"
Who Is wronged by this "unearned
increment" Not those wis we're the
cause Of their own loss by demanding
the sale at the sacrifice price. Not the
city as corporation, for IL takes its
share of the unearned Increment IN the
tax. the assessment being $4,000 Not
the city as a community. because as a
community It enjoys the conditions which
make the value. The individuals who
might have bought at the auction had
their opportunity, Their grievance is
not the Increment in value, but their own
lack OF foresight or means. The single
tax would not supply either foresight,
or capital TO those who lack them, and
would not create other similar values

conditions which caused this great griev-

THE DETAILS OF GRATING

Grating is process whereby a por-

the two plants being closely related bo-
tanically. The purpose is to unite a
superior plant, or variety. to an inferior
one. the latter forming the root portion
and the former bearing the flowers and
fruit The superior plant Is known as
the graft or scion. The stock must be

satisfactory plant may he made to as

varieties Of apples are grown on a stock
OF the wild crap apple, or OF the Para

brter, or manetti stock, etc. The scion
which is Joined to the stock is twig
or small branch OF the selected variety,
from four to twelve inches long, bearin &
several plump buds and Is usually Of
