HOUSES ARE SCARCE.
Rock Islands Most Serious Draw
back.
Losses to the City's Growth by Reason
ofthe Lack Of suitable
Dwellings

Houses are scarce. That frequently
stated fact is as true of Rock Island this
season as ever, and the most unfortunate
part Of it is that there appears no remedy
In sight for this condition of
things. True. number of dwellings are
TO be erected the coming season, but the
number in prospect does not begin to
come anywhere near filling the require
msnts of the times. Fifty new houses,
conveniently situated, would find prompt
ana ready tenements. Capital complains,
however. that it does not see how it
could realize sufficiently on such nvest-
ments. The fear is entertained that the
Income would not warrant the outlay. To
such people the appearance of unsightly
vacant lots, with money invested in OUT
SIDE enterprises, seems to be preferable
to the building of our own city and the
retention of people who come among
US to live and only ask a home.
Is this the spirit that builds up cities
and stimulates home pride which is es>
sential to the encouragement Of stran.
gers? THE ARGUS was yesterday inform
ed by member of leading furniture
firm that he had received inquiries from
at least half dozen strangers in the CITY
as to where houses could be secured the
sale OF complete household outfits being
contingent upon the securing of honses.
The merchant was obliged to say that he
could not provide the information desired
and hence repeatedly lost sales. The
ARGUS has also learned of several Rock
Island families who are thinking of NOV
ing TO Moline or to Davenport unless
they can secure suitable living accommo.
dations here
The paving extensions have dobe much
to remedy these unfortunate crcumstsn-
ces. Property owners having vacant lots
facing on the streets to be so improv ed
have begun TO realize the necessity of
either selling or building in order to re-
alize something of an income TO meet the
cost of paving. Thus does this im2rov e.
ment manifest its advantage in another
way, but the number of houses TO be
provided from this improvement is not
sufficient. Rock ls'ard needs 50 new
houses which will bring from Sl2 10 $40
per month and needs them quick. Will
property holders erect them or let the
city suffer? That is the question.
