If there is any tightness in the money
market it does not seem to retard building
in st. Paul. In every direction new build
ings are going up and old ones are undergo

ing population and furnish them with shelter.
DR.. John Steele after years Of litigation has
at length got possession of the Bond property
atthe corner of Fourth and Washington,
and has contracted for the erection of four
tenement houses fronting on Washington
street. The beautiful trees have been cut
down and cellars are now being excavated
by large force of men. 1t is expected that
these buildings will be ready for occupation
early next spring.
The attention of our capitalists has been
called frequently to the necessity for more
cheap tenement houses for the accommoda-
ton of men of moderate means. When it
is known that many persons engaged in
business in our city are compelled to lodge
in the neighboring cities the necessity be-
comes evident, and should be remedied at
once. Gentlemen of means cannot find a
more profitable investment for their surplus
than by erecting houses for the use of men
whose incomes are not large enough to JUS
tify the payment of more than $25 per month
