MORE SMALL HOUSES

Arc Needed and More win Probably Be
Erected-A Good Field in Which to
Reap Handsome Profits-Reports Of the
Building Inspector and the Agents.
The demand for small houses and lots on
which to build them is steadily increasing.
While great deal of building is going on
at the present time, the greater portion of
the buildings being constructed are in the
line of large and costly dwellings, "Though
the sale of these residences does not decrease
in the least" said prominent agent to-day,
''it occurs to me as very singular that some
OF the investors do not give this TACT

erected, which could, when completed, be

reach of persons OF moderate means.
and would, therefore, in my opinion, find
prompt sale. 1 know of, in fact am inter-
ested in, a odeal that is under way at the
present time for the sale of r. beautiful tract
OF land that is not q great distance from
either cable or an electric line, and am
OF the opinion that If the sale is consum-
mated the purchaser will take advantage OF
the opportunity offered to make a good
proht by building and placina on the mar
ket some medium-sized and medium priced
residence properties; We need more O.
them. The demand is largely in excess of
the supply, and wherever such conditions
prevail there are handsome profits to y
made"
