SMALL HOUSES. Every day we are more
and more impressed with the necessity existing
ia the community for small houses. We do
not mean shells aud sheds that cost more to
keep them 10 repair than their annual renta,
but good substantial brick tcGements, With all
the modern couveniencas suitable Tor small
families, aud which can be rented on moderate
terms. Experience has proved to capitalists
iu Northern cities that there is money in such
investments, aud certainly nothing adds more
to the general prospects Of city. Small houses
are in demand, and VIII built with an eye to
making comfortable and tasteful home, land,
lords will fud plenty OF good tenants, who will
take pride 10 keeping their property III order.
The above, from the Richmond Enquirer, Is
equally applicable to Alexandria, Those who
have given attention to the subject, and have
provided small, comfortable tenements, adapted
TO the wants of persons of limited mcaus, have
no difficulty in retaining good tenants and IN
receiving u good return from their investments.
