stands, for the time being, as substi-

There are probably more houses above
the average in comfort, costing, say,
from $40, 900 to $50, 900, and fewer pro.
rortiohAte palaces, than in any other
city in the country. As to the matter
OF rents, they are less than in New

Baltimore,i aand perhaps higher even
than in Chicago. They are not az low
AS they ought to be: and the same may
be said cf the general expenses Of 1ivl

here in the very heart of the food re-

1t is ascribed to high taxation and high
interest on money, which are both
above the rstes where they oughtto re-
