B. McKenna part of lot No. 185 in West Ward, with the building No. 237 St. James street, for Jl and other considerations.

The emplacement measures 27 127, it Is evident by figures quoted In the following that the ratio of Increase In values has been quite as considerable along St. Catherine street from say Amherst street In the east to Guy street In the wen as that chronicled weeks ago when those ol St. James street 'were under review. In the estate P. B.

Murphy sold to L. Payette the southwest corner of Amherst and St. Catherine lor (11.50 a foot and this property was sold quite recently for tlSlMMW. or J18.50 per foot. Another advance is found in the property at the northeast corner of St.

Catherine and St. Timothy, which wag sold in May, 19oi, for $11 a foot; the purchasers, Cuddy and Brodeur, Belling the same at $18 a -square foot. There has also been a good deal of anlmatlun In real estate In that section from St. Denis to St. Lawrence Jjoulevard duivng the past few years.

In 1900 Oeorge AV. Cook sold to L. O. Grot he 3,740 square feet of property at the corner of St. Catherine and Cadleux for $38,000, or at the rate of $10.75 per foot.

Although this wad considered at the time a first rato sale, Mr. Grothe sold the property a year ago for $66,000, or at the rate of $17.50 a square foot. In May, 190S, Mr. Emery Lavlgne sold to La Patrle the property at the corner of City Hall avenue and St. Catherine street, amounting to 4.100 square feet, for seven dollars and a half per foot, or the sum of $31,000.

While the Messrs. Tarte were offered several. thousand dollars on their bargain at the time of the purchase, the site 13 now worth probably times the purchase price. The Hon. T.

Berthiaume wan' also a purchaser at the southwest corner of St. Catherine and Cadleux in 190S. paying seven dollars per foot for feet, or about $33,000, selling the same two years later for $46,000, or ten dollars per foot. The old Union St. Joseph Hall, at the corner of St.

Elizabeth, was purchased In 1909 for $05,000, and Mr. Constanti-neau sold the same property later off at $14 a toot, or a total or $78,000, making thirteen thousand dollars on the transaction. In December, 1906, the northwest rorner of City Hall avenue was sold by the Saunders estate to Monster Le-elair for a good sum, but the value of the property was so enhanced by July, 1909, that the sum secured by the sale was $45,000, or $28 a foot, and Mrs. Grothe sold another small strip adjoining the Theatre Francais in August, 1909, for $24,000, or $16.50 a square foot. BLEURY CORNERS VALUABLE.

There was also a smart increase in values between St. Lawrence and St. Alexander streets. In 1900 Mr. John Allan bought the nortnwest corner of Bleury for $11,750, or at the rate of $14 a loot, and the wiseacres of the timo came forward with the opinion that Mr.

Allan had gone out of his sensrs. Today real estate men say it la a question if fifty dollars a foot would luy this same property. On the same elde Mr. Allan bought from the Frank Hart estate 1,680 feet for or $22 a foot, and other propertywalongEJde for $45,000, or $25.75 a foot Having now possessed himself of 11,500 square i feet at or near the corner of Bleury and St. Catherine, It is said Mr.

John Allan would not take less than $350,000 for the whole, or ht the rate of $30 per foot. In 1907 Alderman Jas. Robinson pur- chased from the reverend ladies of the Sacred Heart what is now known as tne Nickel Theatre for $132,500, ud it is understood that- today Mr. Robinson would not part Xth this property for a sum less than half a million dollars. Then there is another evidence of the very great rise in property around the corner of Bleury when it is remembered that the Blu-menthal property, where the Dominion Bank now stands, was bought for $100,000, or at about $6.30 a square foot.

Another good purchase was the Beau-dry block, by thfi Hon. N. Perodeau, for $150,000, or at the wonderfully low rate of three dollars a foot. The block Is worth today probably a quarter of a million or $100,000 more than the purchase price four or five years ago. In 1909 Mr.

H. S. Holt purchased from the Brewster estate the southwest corner of Bleury, Including the St. Edward street lot, for the quantity being 12,600 feet at $15 per foot, and there is a well-authenticated report that an offer of twenty-five dollars per foot was refused, not very long since. In December, 1908.

Mr. J. A. Jacobs bought from Robert Reld 18,800 feet at the corner of St. Alexander and St.

Catherine street for $160,000, or $8.50 per foot, and In June, the following year, the same purchaser took over the St. Gabriel Presbyterian Church for $85,000. The price refused the other flay for the St. James Methodist Church Indicates very eloquently the present value of the Jacobs' site. There' are 85,000 square feet in the St.

James Church property and they value the front at about thirty dollars per foot. The First Baptist Church was sold In 1906, for $85,000, to the Bennett Theatre Syndicate, while the adjoining property brought $2.50 per foot more, or ten dollars per square foot. There has likewise been a very great Increase In the property bought by Mr. Mark Workman, and known as the Orkney "There were 87,863 square feet In this property, and Mr. Workman bought It at the apparently Insignificant figure of $2.60 a foot, or $37,000 in all.

Along some yards further Mr. Jas. H. Maher purchased the Art Gallery in 1910 for $275,000, and the statement was made yesterday that a profit of $100,000 will be coming Mr. Maher's way one of these days.

CARSLET PROPERTY. A handsome turnover was also made In the Carsley property on St. Catherine street, although the figure has never been given heretofore. It Is understood that the Carsley firm paid the Ogllvie estate $700,000 for the block and resold It to the A. E.

Rae for $900,000. On the opposite corner Is the Merchants Bank building, which was built by Renouf, who bought the land front Vtlferta Thomas for $29,412 a 'oot. Idlr on Col.

"Its usefulness as at present constituted Is gone," Is a conclusion rfoohed by the editor, who proceeds to reorganize it in a thorough manner. directly at variance to the position taken by the oiJicr two medical journals, the bill of Toronto Unlvjsity, which would enable it to confer a license to practice independent of the council, is wholly upheld. The editor says in part as follows Whatever good It accomplished, and unquestionably it filled a place in medical history, its usefulness as at present constituted is gone, and it must undergo a complete reorganization. Times have changed, and when medical schools become parts of great universities, as in the case of Toronto and Queen's, the medical council, if it has been well advised, would have assumed a conciliatory attitude towards institutions which could have but one object in view, that of raisins standards and placing medical education on the highest level possibla. Instead of doing this, it went on its way, fondly believing that the universities were still to be suspected, and taking a position of superiority hat would not allow them to consult with those who alone were competent to decide what are really the great requirements of a first-class medical education.

The council has always claimed that its examinations are a really practical part of a student's knowledge, and yet such universities as McGill, Toronto, Queen's insist that many of their beat students fall, while notoriously weak ones pass. It could not be otherwise under the system of examination followed. "The cleavage between the university and the council has at last become clearly defined, and after years of patient suffering the University ot Toronto, a provincial institution, has turned; and, if rumor be correct, will endeavor to regain its right to license, and incidentally have the same right conferred on the other universities, )f they, keep up to the proper standard. No doubt this action was provoked by the action of the medical council ground rioor and one on first floor up. Apply to Estate G.
