number Of pensions or boarding housed
where for a dollar a day and upward
you can have furnished room and al

rent a room without board for from 20
to 90 francs a month service included

stores are on the ground floor and the
apartments above. The latter range IN
size from two rooms upward, and vary
in price from a few francs up 10 thou

payments being made quarterly. either
