BUILDING BOOM CHECKED.

High Tax Rate in City and County Does
Harm to New House Projects.
Real estate men agree in saying that the
expected building boom in the city has dis
integrated only through the exhorbitant city
and county taxes, which arc imposed upon
property.
Those who prophesied the erection of from
800 to 1000 houses during this year, are now
prepared to be disappointed. Early In the
season predictions we're that Whining
ton would be the scene of such building
boom as had never been witnessed by the
younger generation.
1t is firmly believed by many that tn is
boom In houses would have been a reality,
had 1T not been for the great increase in
taxation.
William e. Hawkins, George R. Townsend
and other promiuent real estate men are
authority in confirming the general belief
that landlords will increase rents in proper
tion to the tax rate.
