The Real Estate Journal has the following sen

It is clearly within the power OF our municipal
authorities to declare any unsafe buitdfn. or

NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS.


CHICAGO, Sept. 4.-The growing demand for
1ow-priced fats and houses renders it necessary
that the city should be supplied with much
larger number OF apartments that can be rented
for from SIS to $50 per month. Rents Of this
class ofproperty have advanced from 3335 to 50
per cent this year, and apartments which
brought SIS last year rent readily now at $40 to
SIS. The applications to rent this class of prop
erty arc enormous. If landowners who are
holding unimproved lots In the locality adjacent
to the Ogden avenue Twelfth street, and Indi-
ana street horse cars, and also in the locality be-
tween Western and California avenues would
improve their lots with neat brick cottages. they
could receive net income Of from 10 to Il per
cent from the investment. The demand for
flats on the large business thoroughfares and
good residence streets is also very great. Hav-
ing in our charge over 500 tenants with not
single vacant tenement at less than S35 a month,
Is a conclusive evidence that many more low
and medium priced flats and houses are needed.
We have in our office plans Of a number OF
buildings now in process Of erection On the West
Side, and will be glad to show them to any one
contemplating building. GRIFFIN & DWIGHT.
