More residence houses are needed in
Cheyenne and our monied men who de-
sire to invest their money could not do
better than to put the same in houses
that, when built could either be sold to
advantage and profit, or rented out to
families who desire a not too expensive
home or residence. OF course large,
elegant, or costly buildings are not
what is wanted, but medium sized
houses, large enough for a good sized
family or two small families.
There is scarcely a day that we do
not hear inquiries made for houses to
rent, but none are to be found except
instances of elegant residences which
can only be had &C high prices. This
is a want which is sadly felt and need
ed and one which ought to be supplied
at once. If the heavy monied men of
the city do not care to invest a portion
of their mean in this way, a number
of those whose purses are not quite so
heavy, ought to club together and form
a builders association and take hold of
the matter. In our judgment it would
pay them to do SO, and pay them well,
and we hope to see the matter agitated
and talked up at once.
