There are great many houses for
rent throughout the city. We find that
it is the enormous rent charged by the
landlords that causes them to stand idle.
One landlord, for the difference of 12X
cents per month, has allowed his houses
to remain un0ccupied tor over year.
Some time ago there was company or.
ganized under the name OF "Broadway
Real Estate Company" who thought
they had struck bonanza, but since
have discovered that asking an enor-
nous rent and getting it were TWO diff.
ferent things, and since the taxes and
repairs on the unOccupied houses eat up
the rent OF the others there is little
chance for speculation. The fact of the
whole business is the landlords want all
the profits, while the merchants in many
cases have TO work for glory.

an awful stomach ache. Z. S.-Pain in

We have the most positive assurance
that our Public Schools will have no in
terrupuion for lack of funds. The City
Council came to the rescue in its usual
| liberal style, and why not? Although its
action may be termed flank move
ment," such flank movements seem
very agreeable to the people who foot
the bills, even if considered illegal by
some asluJe { p members OF the honor
