DEMAND FOR THEM INCREASING.

That the real estate, business, particularly
the house building portion of it, is going to
be dull this spring and summer, is very
clearly shown by the number of applications
for building permits made to Building In
spector John Macarthur. The majority OF
permits applied for are for the alteration OF
buildings. Permits for dwelling houses are
noticeable by their absence. Frame dwell
ing houses, which will command rentals OF
$50 to $50 per month, are being erected to a
greater extent than any other class of build
ing. This fact is undoubtedly due to the
statements made in The JERSEY CITY NEWS
last fall, that real estate agents were flooded
with fiat houses, but that they were wholly
unable to meet the demand for small frame
dwellings on the Heights. A number of
skilful spectators nave determined to meet
part of the demand, which still exists.
SMALL d ON THE G
On Arlington venue there is considerable
building being done, and more is to follow.
Mrs. Kate Murray has applied for a permit
to erect two three-story frame dwellings
there, at Nos. 16S and ITO, to cost $4,000.
Another builder on that avenue is Daniel
A. Williams, at No. 216. He will erect, at a
cost of $1,000, a two and a half story frame
dwelling. Still another believes in the vir-
tue of small houses on that rapidly lmprov-
ing avenue, is Mrs. Estelle D. Dickinson.
She proposes erecting two magnificent two
and a half story frame buildings, to cost
$1,000.
On Lexington avenue there will also be
| some building activity. Mr.. w. Jackson
will erect three two-story frame dwellings,
to cost $500. Mrs. Mary Reach will also
erect a two-story cottage, which will cost
81 ,343. In fact, in all parts of the Hill there
| will be some building.
