own observation the bonus has ranged from
500 to 500 for a tenement for a moderate
sized family.
1t must not be inferred that the exorbtau,
charges for rent and the extras paid as bonus
money go into the pockets Of the owners of the
houses in Washington. The great bulk of
these extra profits is gained by Spectators and
adventures, and many old residents, men of
business and mechanics, have been compelled
this fall TO submit to their extortions. MANY
houses have been taken up by spcculators and
rented for Illicit purposes for the sake of great
bargains.
The reign Of "Bonus," however, will be
short. The eyes of capitalists have been turned
10 the field of enterprise and investment OPEN
cd by the increasing wants of this city
and in a few months we shall have hundreds of
new tenements erected. There Is land enough
unoccupied in the heart OF the city TO accommo-
date many thousands more residents, and the
extraordinary opportunity for safe and remu-
nerative Investments will not long be overlook
ed by men Of capital. As we said before the
eyes of number of gentlemen of means
have been turned In this direction, and
the time is not far distant when our citizens
will be able to rent houses at reasonable rates,
and at the same time paya liberal interest OIL
the money invested by house builders.
