Houses Below Grade.
Owing to the improvements on 9th
street. the property-owners on the thor

considerable expense. The old grade Of the
street in some places. especially near p
street, has been changed and the houses
are now four or five feet below the level
Of the street. The owners are compelled to
raise the buildings in order to keep the
tenants in the dwellings. The houses are
Of wood and some are so far gone that the
raising process means the expenditure of
additional money for repairs.
