Striking as it may appear to persons who
have not kept q close watch Of the building
operations OF the year. it is nevertheless q
fact that more storerooms have been built
this year than during the big building boom
OF last year. While many of this years
buildings are of q temporary character they
have already had the effect Of giving bust
ness elbow-room and easing down rents,
which last year were clearly out OF proper
ton. IL was fortunate that rents came
down TO living standard, as IL enabled
many small shops to tide over q dull year
who would otherwise have been closely
pinched or perhaps crushed
