St. Louis, Chicago and Boston Capi- | talists in the Venture. “THE KAUFFMAN PROPERTY ON NINTH AND OLIVE SECURED FOR A SITE. - Architect Roeder Is Already at Work on the Plans for the New Hostelry—It Will Be One of the Handsomest Hotel Etructures in the Country—An Idea of the Plans. Two years from now St. Louts will have two of the finest new hotels in the country. By the time the Planters’ is opened another million dollar hotel will have been built on the Kauffman property, the site of Pope’s Theater. The premises, embracing half a block, wasto have been the place forthe Fall Festivities Association $1,000,000 hotel. A lease of the property was secured for that purpose for 100 years at 5 percent per annum on its valuation of $750,000 but owing to requirements of the Fall Festiv ties Associa- tion regarding the deposit of $500,000 from the «owners of the lease the negotiations dropped. The lessees are Chicago parties, represented by Mortimer F. Taylor and Charles Sutter, by whom the lease was secured from Mr. John Kauffman. One of the conditions of the lease was the execution of a bond of $400,000 now held by Mr. Kauffman to insure the construc- tion of improvements to the extent of at least $1,000,000 upon the propery within a limited period oftime. When the negotiations with the Fall Festivities Association fell through the Chicago parties had already obligated themselves to such an extent that they could not throw up the Kauffman lease, and they went to work to fulfill its conditionsto the letter. To accomplish this St. Louis capital- ists were called upon to furnish a part of the money to put up the building. They re- sponded and some money has also been put into the enterprise by Boston hotel parties, who will most likely have the management ofthe house. All the financial arrangements are now perfected, and the fact that the first attempt to put a fine hotel building upon that site failed, with much general regret at the time, was a good thing for St. Louls after all, for instead of only $1,000,000 being expended for one new hotel, $2,000,000 will be expended, and the city will be proviaed with two very fine hotels. Plans forthe structure at Ninth and Olive are now being made by Mr. F. W. Roeder, who ts in dally consultation with Mr. Sutter and Mr. Taylor regarding the design to be adopted. Two different designs have been blocked out, but it is not yet decided exactly what kind of a epee gi will be erected. It will be fire-proof and ten stories high, at least, covering the whole area of the half block opposite the Custom-house, between Olive and Locust, Ninth and Tenth streets. Both the plans provide for a com- bination building. One plan contemplates a theater in the proposed structure. The adoption of this combination hotel and theater building depends upon negotia- tions now pending with ae promli- nent theatrical manager who wants to lease the theater for twenty-five years. A controversy about terms with the manager may lead to an abandonment of the theater plan altogether. Inthat event the building will be constructed forelegant retail stores on the first floor, adapted to the growing Dusiness character of the locality, and over these trade marts willl be the hotel. The improvement will be the finest architec- tarally in the _ city. It will greatly enhance the value of property in the vicinity and do as much for Olive and Locust streets asthe new Planters’ House will for Fourth street real estate interests. Mr. Roeder, who is making the plans, is an aspiring young architect who has had a great deal of expert- ence for hisage in the construction of builld- ings of this character. The Railroad Purchases. The account given in last evening’s Post- DisPaTcu of negotiations in progress for the purchase of property between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets, from Morgan street to Wright, and thence east to connect with rail- way terminals entering the city along the northern city front, was the leading topic for discussion in real estate circles to-day, and several agents admitted they had sold, or optioned property along j within the past few weeks. ving been suggested tnat the property s being acquired for the Chicago, Burling- Quincy system, an effort was made to the local representatives of that line.

PDO you know whatit costs?’’ he asked. **We experienced its costliness when we were buying a right-of-way throughthe northern part of the city. The peso pers handi- capped usall the time. Such publications make the property wanted cost millions of dollars more. Last night’s paper said the Merchant’s Terminal people were the buyers along Nineteenth street, and the morning pa- pers, to getup something new, have made the ©C., B. &Q. the purchasers. The prop- erty is no where near our road, It is eleven or tweive blocks away.’’ Among the real estate agents it was learned that within the past ten or fifteen days M. A. Wolff & Co. have sold property on Wash street, between Nineteenth and Twentieth Streets, on Carr street, between Twentieth and Twenty-first streets, and on Nineteenth street, between Biddle and O’Fallon streets. In addition to these transactions the firm say they have numerous clients all oa pa 8 the fine and fifteen or twenty of them who have been approached to sell by different parties have been into the office asking for advice as‘ to their best interests. John F. Storm says the whole of Sarsfield lace, between Nineteenth and Twentieth ‘has changed ownership lately. Adam Boeck & Co. say they lately sold Property at Nineteenth and Wash and at No. 909 Franklin avenue and at 1915 and 1917 O’Failon street. Another agent says the German church property at the northwest corner of Twentieth and Morgan and the er adjoining it are now under option. . V. Cartan & Co. say {they have had a great deal of inquiry about property all along the line, but would not say that they had sold or optioned any of it. estus J. Wade was very emphatic in his statement that the Merchants’ Terminal peo- ple are not the purchasers. Real Estate Sales. The Niccolls-Ritter Realty Co. report the sale of the ten-room detached stone-front house, No. 2930 Olive street, with 265x181 feet of und for $7,260 from Levi Stern to Martin s F.

HE DETAILS THE DEPLORABLE CONDI- TION OF THE CITY INSTITUTIONS. Sections of the City Hospital, Poor-House and House of Refuge Said to Be Unfit for Human Habitation—Plumbing and Down Spouts Causing Ruin on All Sides—Bath-House Plans. Building Commissioner G. B. Reid, submit- ted his annual report to the Mayor to-day, and in it he reports the condition of the pub- lic institutions, with recommendations for additions ana repairs and also the revision of old city ordinances and the introduction of new ones. During the past year permits were granted for improvements, aggregating in value $14,325,750, a decided increase over the preceding year. As the figures given by builders are generally from two-fifths to one- half the actual value of the improvements, it is estimated that the true value is about $25 ,000, 000. The ordinance governing fire escapes are not defined as completely as necessary, Mr. Read states, and he suggests the introduc- tion of an ordinance fixing rules for the placing of electric Hight wires in buildings and an increase ofthe force of inspectors. His report on the conditions of the city’s buildings, though it does not mention all the defects noticeable to an observer, shows in what a wretched state of repair they are in. The Oourt-house needs a complete steam-heating plant, he states, as the old one is rotten and does not heat the building, He suggests that the dingy and badly scarred stone coping around the Court- house be removed and granitoid be laid over the entire area of the yards sur- rounding the building, and mentions inci- dentally that it will cause the loafers to de- sert the place and deprive tramps of their lodgings, or ‘*O’Brien’s flats,’’ as the coping and steps of the Court-house are generally known. He recommends that the building be painted outside and inside, a new floor be laidon the gallery of the second floor, new steps be put in at the Chestnut and Market street entrances, court-rooms papered ana ae and the leaking broken plumbing re- aired. “ As the City Hall will be deserted ina few years he ——— that it be only papered, ainted and whitened in the interior where tis necessary. THE MALARIAL FOUR COURTS, The Four Courts, he says, are badly in need of repair.Leaky downspouts are hidden in the walls and the water seeps through intothe rooms. The roof and gutters leak, the plumbing is rotten and the money to be spent for necessary repairs, he says, would pay for anew system. Painting and cleaning Is also necessary. The jail is also in a bad state and unhealthy as gases escape through broken sewer pipes and corrode the tron floors around the cell floors, making them unfit for the confinement of prisoners. An appropriation to finish the new building at the House of Refuge is asked and he also recommends the repairing of gates, walks, fences, ovens and brickwork of the old build- ing. A DILAPIDATED HOSPITAL. Mr. Reid follows the example of other building commissioners who have served during the past twelve years, in recommend- ing the destruction of certain parts of the City Hospital and the reconstruction of new wings andadditions. The building at present used for infectious diseases is unfit for habi- tation, he says, and a new building of four wards should be erected atonce. A brick boiler-house to re- place the frame shed now used is recom- mended, also an apartment, for surgical operations, with three wards for treating such cases. New floors are needed in almost every room and hall in the building; the steam-heating apparatus _in_ the old bullding should be replaced, the woodwork outside needs painting, the roof, gutters and downspouts are worn out and leaky; the deadhouse needs.a new fioor, a new fence to replace the tumble down affair enclosing the premises is necessary to keep out intruders and improvements are needed in the criminal ward from which so many prisoners have escaped. A WRECK AND RUIN. The Poor- house comes infor a large share of the money necessary for repairs. Mr. Reed suggests that the building now used for female paupers be abandoned at once,as it is unsafeand dangerous tothe lives of the in- mates. New boilers are needed, rotten floors in the basement should be torn up and replaced with granitoid, plastering forrooms in the main building, where large patches have fallen off are needed, and allthe wooden wainscoting in the building should be removed. At the Female Hospital,a new boller-house, new boilers, and steam heating apparatus is required. ihe plumbing atthe Insane Asylumisina bad state of repair, several rooms need plas- tering, the wainscoting inten halls and ten rooms requires repairs and the gutters and downspouts are demanding attention. Last year $41,000 was spent in repairs at the city instétutions demanding immediate at- tention. In payingthe salaries of janitors and meeting the current expenses of the City Hall, Commissioner’s office, Four Courts and Court-house, $53,350 was spent and $76,- 260 was paid out on contract work. The total expenditures amounted to $170,567. During the year3,119new brick buildings, valued at $12,717,600, and 14,021 frame build- ings, valued at $118,800, were erected and $9,582 was collected in fees. Board of Public Improvements. The bath houses ordinance and plans as printed in the Posr-DISPATCH yesterday were recommended by the of Public Improvements at its meeting to-day. The plans will be forwarded to the Assembly and the ordinance will be read ior the first time Tuesday night. No delay is expected andthe three bath houses will probably be opened to the public Aug. 1. The bid for sprinkling Forest Park boulevard between Boyle av- enue and King’s highway was rejected. The lowest bid was about 9 cents a foot, and the property owners made such a decided protest the board will not award the contract. New bids will be opened May 10. The reconstruction of Pestalozzi street, be- tween Ninth and Thirteenth streets, was awarded to Allen & Veith for $11,077, and the same firm was also given the contract to re- construct Ninth street, from Arsenal to Pes- talozzi streets, for $7,729. The specifications for cut stoneto be used in the new City Hall were approved as sub- mitted by thearchitect. They call for the best select No. icream buff Amherst sand- stone. The estimated cost of the cut stone for the entire building is $75,000. The petition of the Tower Grove property owners was referred by the board to the City Counsellor for solution. The property own- ers want Tower Grove avenue improved and claim the city Is under contract to doit Dy an act of the Legislature of March, 1867, entitled ‘*‘An act to estab- lish and provide for the government of Tower Grove Park.’’ This park wasinthe county at the time, but as it was near St. Louis the city, it is claimed, agreed to pay for im- roving the avenue ifthe county contributed o the support and improvement of'the park. City Employes’ Salaries. Considerable anxiety is being shown by city employes over the chances of not receiving their April salaries on May 1. The appropri- ations having become exhausted, a tempo- rary appropriation bill will be mtroduced next Tuesday night, April 26, tb for the ment of the salaries, to the c meet every Tuesday and Fri and pass the Dill by May 8.

MAGNIFICENT STOCK CARRIED BY Scat Fu FROM CASHIER TO PRESIDENT, C. W. Bullen of the Contineutal Bank Goes to the National Bank of the Republio. C. W. Bullen, the cashier of the Continental National Bank at. Fourth and Olive streets, has tendered his resignation to the officers of that institution to take effect on or before June, when he will become president of the National Bank of the Repuoplic at Ninth and Olive streete, TPhis bit of news will be asurprise to the patrons of the Continental, who have forthe past nine years transacted business well - known cashier. Mr. is a native of Kentucky for thirteen years was connected with a bank in Sedalia, Mo. He came to St. Louis nine years ago this month to accept the position of Assistant Cashier at the Continental, and @ year later he was made Cashier. His twenty-two years’ experience in_ the banking business eminently fit him for the py he 1s about to _ accept. He wiiltake the place of Mr. H. C. Hiatt, who has been preparing to retire from active business life for the past yearon account of falling health. Mr. John Caro Russell, the cashier and organizer or the National Bank of the Republic, will \ retain his position. The bankis only twO-.\years old, but has made remarkable progress \and now has a deposit of $1,200,000 and about 1,400 patrons. How Mr. Bullen was sel¢cted for the head of the concern’ was told by Mr. Russell this \morning. Over a year ago, while Mr. x Russell and Mr. Bullen were both/ solicting business for the banks they represented,\ Mr. Russell remarked that if he could get Mr. Bullen out of the way he would find it éasy to bulld up his bank. Mr. Bullen satd-he could be bought off with a bank presidency, but nothing less. Remembering this remark not long ago, Mr. Russell made the proposition and Mr. Bulien was thus **pought off.’*’ Both men are well Known and quite popular. A successor to Mr. Bullen’s position in the Continental has not yet been selected, but it is understood the selection will be made from the force in the bank. As Mr. Graham has been assistant cashier for some years, itis supposed he will step into the position. He Is Not Responsible. The $30,000 damage suit of John W.
