RENTS NOT DECLINING,
But Accommodations for Small Fam
lilies Improving in New York.

Cyrus G. Adams, in Ainslee'S Magazine.
Rents are not declining, on the whole.
owing to the rapid growth of towns and
cities. But none the less a remarkable
advance has been made in the way or pro-
viding modest homes for people OF small
incomes. New York presents an extreme
case. for rents are higher on Manhattan
island than in most cities of the world.
1t would scarcely be expected that great
progress would be making in Manhattan
in the way of providing more comfortable
homes at comparatively low rentals. Such
is the fact, however, and ii is due chiefly
to two circumstances. one is that the
fiat has at length become a civilized
abode. These latter-day apartments are
no more to be compared with those built
twenty years ago than IS the comfortable
Philadelphia cottage with the log cabin of
the Yukon miner. The problems Of light,
air, sanitation. convenience and comfort
have been solved in scores of moderate
priced apartment houses erected within the
past few years. Architects believe that
every attainable advantage in this class of
buildings has now been provided. The
other circumstance is that apartment
houses are beginning to supply. under one
roof. suites of various sizes TO MT the differ
ent needs Of tenants. Great buildings. for
example, south of Observation-Disclosures
ty-ffth street, with elevators that make
the seventh floor more desirable than the
first, have suites renting at from $3.50 to
$500 a year. the smaller consisting of four
rooms and bath, with hot and cold water,
gas ranges and all the housekeeping con-
veniences of the larger apartments. Rooms
for servants are supplied in the basement
at a small additional charge. II is expected
that, in future, small suites like these will
solve the problem of rent for many young
couples who desire really attractive sur
roundings and can live without discomfort,
for awhile at least, i'm a very few rooms.
Another large class of flats is interme-
date between these improved and more
expensive apartments and common tene-
ments and large capital is finding
investment in tenements that pro-
vide for laboring men and their
families light and sanitation, larger
rooms. and other facilities for living in de-
cency and comfort at prices no higher than
many workpeople of New York have paid
for the most wretched accommodations.
Thus. even on Manhattan island, more
comfort may now be secured for the rentals
paid than formerly. and the most welcome
features of the improvement are the eff
forts TO provide better homes for the COM
mon working classes, and also for refined
persons of moderate means"
