which comes to

property in the fire limits will increase
Joe of |troperty outside the li
its ? Candidly, we think not. Let
look at this position.
The increased valuation of property
within, tho limits will Ik- due, if pres-
enf at all, to the superior advantages
offered and the greater convenience af-
limifx. This would create a greater
for property within the fin-
limits. People seeking to invest
real estate, it seems, would naturally
seek to purchase property within th<
fire limits, to get the lienefit of this
perior advantage of the fire limits
the property outside. * It would,
consequently, just in proportion to the
mnt the fire limits would increase
aloe, depreciate the value of prop
erty outside of the limits. This
clearly demonstrable. In exact pro
portion as property in one part of
increased in demand
other part because of advantages whi<
that part may have over the other part.
that proportion is the property
decreased in value that
advantages. Simply to illustrate, with-
meaning in the least to say that
the amounts we name would lie those
actually resultant, suppose this office,
being in the fire limits, would
bring <1,000, without water-works, but
would bring on the market <1,100
water-works are built, then this office
Would lie increased in value <100
erection of these works. Now sup
pose that this office was outside of
Are limits, its material value being the
advantages for the purposes
Used Wing the same, Wfore
works were built, it would W worth
<1,000. Upon the building of
works in the fire limits, therefore,
maketable value at the present site
would W increased because of a great-
demand, to the amount of <100,00*
In proportion, therefore,
ope place is greater,
the demand in another place
having the advantage whith enhanced
its price would decrease in valne, and,
therefore, it is reasonable to 'suppose
that the valne of the office if outside
imits would drop jnst <100,00.
will thus bo seen that the building of
-•wotks in one part of the town,
while it may enhance realty in that
part, instead of enhancing in the other
part, would actually decrease it. This
makes it clear that our citizens owning
property outside should not W deceiv
ed by the fallacious -rgument that
value of this prof L-rty would W
creased. It seems remarkably clear
that in proportion as
property, formerly of the same price
another’s, is increased by causes
which does not operate upon tho oth
er’s, in just that proportion '
other man’s decreased. Prices
the world are gnaged by the
mand, and as the demand from
transferred to another,
proportion that the demand is changed,
the price of the one goes up and *’
other goes down.
Do those who own property outside
of the fire limits fully appreciate
fact that as it now stands, when there
are no water-works or other superior
advantages, for resident
limits over the property outside, that
their property is the equal if not the
superior in price of houses in the fire
limits for the purpose of dwellings?
This is because, other things Wing
equal, people gradually gravitate for
their honses/re* and not to their places
of business. But in order for this
W the case, all things must W equal.
