TENANT PAYS TAXES.

THE taXes!" the American repeated /:
you don't mean to say that the ten
ant has to pay the taXes?"
Precisely" the Londoner answered
you know told you that in America
you don't know anything about land
lords. A landlord never has any taxes
to pay in this country except for the
premises he actually occupies. AS long
as land is unimproved and unproduc-
tive there are no taxes on it. You may
own fifty thousand acres of land out in
the country, but if you get no rental
from it you pay no taxes. AS soon
as it is rented the tenant has the
free in any case.
Putting the house in complete order
at the end of a lease is a serious mat
ter often involving new doors and
windows, sometimes new roof,
new drains, new plumbing, or what
not. 1t is no unusual thing for
such repairs to cost several hundred
pounds. And that affects the value of
the house in case 1 want to sublet 1t.
/ cannot get as much for 1t as / paid;
and the nearer the end ofsthe term,
the less II is worth. If / rent the
house for seven years and stay in 1t
only four, l cannot get as large a rent
as / paid, because in three years more
the house must be completely over
hauled, and the cost Of that falls upon
the new tenant. For that reason peo-
pie do not care to take up nearly ex-
pired leases.
But that is not all. The houses are
old, and II is two chances to one that
when go to the agent he tells me
such and such alterations have been
ordered by the board OF health, and

COMPLICATIONS.

"Then you rent from the ground
landlorG?" the American asked.
Not at all. 1t is a dozen times re-
moved from the ground landlord be-
fore the tenant of a single house ap-
pears. The land was all open fields,
you understand, when the ground land
lord leased it, Then It was sublet in
small tracts to other tenants, who
built rows of houses upon it-contrac-
tors perhaps you would call them in
your country, or SPECTATORS. Then
each house was let separately to a
long-lease tenant, and let and let and
sublet a dozen times till we get down
to the present generation.
Now we come 10 the actual present
day renting, as it affects me. l find a
house to suit me; the one, for instance,
that l am living in, and begin to nego-
tiate. Not with the duke of Westmin-
ster of course. nor with the ground
landlord, but with the agent of some
tenant many degrees removed from
them. That later landlord (who is only
tenant himselD has assumed all the
liabilities of the former tenants, and
if rent from him, those liabilities de-
scend upon me.
What liabilities? All, many more
than a tenant ought to be burdened
with. To begin with, 1 cannot rent
the house for single year. as you can
in New York. must take it for seven
fourteen or twenty-one years"
''Impossible!" the American exclaim-
ed. Suppose you want to give it up
meanwhle?"
~ cannot give it up" the Londoner
continued, but l always have the op-
tion of subletting, providing 1 can find
a tenant. Unjust take that risk. Then
my lease has various little clauses in
it that you never find in an American
lease. For instance: / bind myself to
keep the house insured for a certain
sum during my tenancy and to pay
the premiums; to pay the taxes, the
water rate, and keep the drains in or
der; to paint the house inside and out
orce every three years. and to put it
in complete order to the satisfaction of
the agent at the end of my term
And all repairs are to be made at my

TOUGH ON SERVANTS.

IF you had a house in New York
like mine in London you would have to
do without servants, for your Ameri-
can servants would not stand the labor
for week. The fires are enough to
keep one servant busy. You see there
and no sleeping rooms on the ground
floor or drawing room floor. The near
est bedchambers are in what you would
call the third story, and If there are
many in the family the top-story rooms
must be occupied also. Do you know
what 1t means for servant to carry
scuttles of coal from the basement up
to the top story, keep the fires in order,
polish the fireplace every day, and car
ry down the ashes? No American SER
want would stand that, to say nothing
OF the daily busting and cleaning nee
essary in each room on account of dust
and smoke from the hre.
Our old London houses are servant
killers in every respect. The dining
room is invariably the front room of
the ground floor, and Immediately be-
meath 1t is the kitchen. But there is
no such thing as a dumbwaiter; every
thing We eat must he carried up from
the kitchen on trays and the dishes
carried up and down. Then there is
the knocker. You know how 1t is with
London house; every five minutes
there Is knock at the door, and the
maid must climb the long basement
stairs to answer IL. 1 always feel sor-
ry for the poor maids; by bedtime
they are well tagged out.
"These objections, of course, do not
apply to the more modern houses in
the suburbs. There Won can find nc
many conveniences as you have in
New York-bathrooms, hot and cold
water, dumbwaiters, everything but
electric lights and heating apparatus
London is very backward about using
the electric light; some of the provin-
cial towns, indeed. have more electric
lights than the metropolis"
And do you mean to tell me-" the
American asked, that if | should wish
to stay here for year or two with
my family could not rent house for
less than seven years?"
MANY of the suburban houses you
can rent for a single year." the Lon
doner answered. Thousands of them
were built expressly for that purpose.
And you can always find a furnished
house to be let for a few months while
the owner is away, But when you want
one OF the old houses right in town you
must take 1t on long lease.
so, on the whole, think the ten
ant in New York has very little to
complain Of. If he had all the worrl-
ments of a London tenant he would
be glad to pay almost any price to
shift them to the shoulders of the land
lord"

London Letter in the sun.

London Letter in the sun.
"It always amuses me-" said the
London householder to the Jubilee tour
ist from America, ito hear you New
Workers talk about your high rents and
find fault with the landlords. If your
rents are high, you get something in re-
turn for your money; and as to land
lords, you don't know what a landlord
is-not a real one"
But you tell me-" the jubilee tour
list interrupted, that you pay $40 q
year rent for this house in a central
and very respectable part of London
a house four stories hight, with base
ment beneath. Such a house in a sim
liar neighborhood in New York would
rent for at least $2.5OO year.
mo, it wouldn't" the Londoner re-
torted. Excuse me, but you are so
far wrong that 1 cannot help contra
dieting you. Such a house would not
rent at all in New York, unless it might
be peasemeal to poor families. 1 in
vestigated the rent question the last
time I was in your city and found that
your tenants have nothing to complain
of as compared with ours"
'"The figures show for themselves"
the Jubilee tourist insisted" This house
would rent for $500 a year in New
York; here you pay f70, or about $3.50 a
year for it. There is no gainsaying
that"
SYSTEMS DIFFERENT.
"And that is precisely where a mis-
take is generally made in comparing
New York and London rentals" the
Londoner answered. THE systems of
the two countries are so entirely diff
ferent that it is hard to make a fair
comparison. When you pay your
81, 500 in New York that is all you have
to do. If anything goes wrong with
the house you send for the landlord or
his agent. You have no more trouble
with the premises"
And don't you do that here?" the
American asked. His experience in
London at that time was confined to
Euston Station and Northumberland
avenue and Trafalgar square.
what, send for the landlord" the
Londoner exclaimed. BLESS your
heart, we enjoy no such luxury in this
country. The landlord sends for us
sometimes, but we never send for him.
He would laugh at us, unless so much
presumption on our part threw him
into fit"
The $50 a year that I pay" he went
on, " is only small part of real rental.
l can hardly make that plain to you
without telling you how the land lies
as you say in America. The land. to
begin with. belongs to the Duke of
Westminster. 1t was leased to some
body many years ago (by the present
dukes ancestors, of course) for ninety
nine years-not only the land that my
house stands on, but many acres be-
sides. The holder under that lease we
call the ground landlord-a term that
is a little pathological, to be sure. but
sanctioned by custom"
