sOoitous In regard to the renting Of houses any ots
bearing upon the probability Of rise and fan IN rents
must be interesting so far we can learn we DO not
believe rents will decline much, at ALL IN Orange our
reasons for this opinion founded mainly the Tact
chat We have at present and have not had Tor many
years past sufficient number of houses 60 accommodate
the increasing number OF applicants who yearly seek
home within the limits Of pleasant and heathiul
town and its enyrOns Consequently 80 long as the de-
nand continues be pressing It cannot he expected
chat rents will be reduced for houses will likely be TAKEN
where there are so few be had at prices really above
what they fairly worth under other and more
favorable circumstances Bat here, have already
intmated the demand exceeds the supply ana so long
this state OF things exists It ia not probable tha re-
duotion In viii take place in Orange much as TINS
might desired reasonably expected III these tunes
Of general business depression and dizziness We know OF
one family whe have resided here for several years past
who have resolved to to Newark account OF the
npossbty of securing proper residence, conveniently
suated at reasonable rent 1t seems tha'
desirable dwelling houses can be rented in the popnious
and extensive business city OF Newark at much lower
rates for equal accommodations than they can be m
Orange and yet this know to be the case What we
need then is the erection OF greater number OF houses
9iere None OF our capitalists need fear to invest
IN the erection of dweinghouses for the people
All classes OF houses needed, from the plain COM
Portable tenement house for the mechanic ana aborer TO
the more pretenous edifce for the business man or
capitalist All classes seeking residences IN Orange
aud none should be overlooked We need to-day as much
"a ever we did a class OF houses which viii rent from
$50 t. $3.50 per annum and some OF these so arranged
architecturay, that two small families may occupy
single residence where circumstances require IT, such
houses would command occupants readily, and would
never be unOccuped We have mechanics and labofers
who come from Newark daily TO work In Orange, VINO
wOud gladly live here II they could, and save the time
and expense necessary go and from their work in
neighborng town. Besides. as matter OF economy on
the part Of business and property owners here II
would result very much to the advantage OF
lho town TO have these persons reside here,
where they would spend the money they
earu instead Of taking 1t all ont Of the place,
IS they necessarily do at present Another class OF per
SONS prevented from living among as and sharing III
the benefits and responsibilities Of community and that
class Is composed Of those who occupy aavied situations
an New York many persons with families who
would gladly come to Orange TO reside provided they
could attractive houses here ranging in prices from
1850 $780, Add the price Of communication between New
York and Orange to these rates, and h viii be readily per
ceved that such rents would be sufficiently high for
large Of persons who would cheerfuly here,
and whom 1t would DO beneficial to the community TO
number among their permanent inhabitants There is
s another class OF persons TO be regarded and that EN-
persons of large means who desire to locate here
temporarily until they purchase to suit themselves,
or to build. Houses, stables and grounds which would
rent from $1,000 to 1850, sell from $4,000 to
siSOoO are also needed; but believe more OF
thus class OF residences being provided than Of the
and perhaps at the sacrifice Of less expensive,
out equally as much needed Nothing that
perceive viii much retard the growth Of Orange the
want OF sufficient OF comfortable and inviting
residences for strangers reasonable rents prices
except be- perhaps insufficient railroad facilities and
good roads With Satisfactory provisions at al times in
reference TO these important aduncts Of prosperous
and hOurishing community we cannot see why Orange
should not continue the highroad of prosperity.
Nothing but indifference the part OF responsible
citizens to the interests we have hastily but plainly
pointed out prevent growth for the next 10 years
remarkable, even than that which has character
fzcd the past TO- and therefore, trust these sugges
tons will be duly considered"
