could by throwing it out of reach of

siderable. The most lamentable part

THE POOR MAN SUFFERS.
Lack of Facilities on the Suburbs
Keeps Him Coopcd Up.


Mr. E. a. Catlin, real estate broker,
said recently that the present congestion
of the city has created conditions which
are a downright Injustice to the poor.
To-day young men with families, working
on moderate, If not small salaries. are
forced to come within the city limits in
order to educate their children. The in
justice, however, comes from the price
they are forced to pay for property. On
one side of an ina ginary line, within the
corporate limits. good building property
sells for $50 to $40 a front foot; on the
other side, often within one square Of
the h!gh-pr:ced land, the same grade of
property can be purchased at one-thIrd Of
the price.
There are now a large number of peo-
pie employed in the city. according to Mr..
C1tln, who really want to get away from
bleak walls and out Of the congestion, but
they cannot do SO and work in the city:
therefore, these men, while longing for
breathing space and small yards for their
children, are forced to remain coopcd up
in the crowded sections. paying high
rents.
The opposition to expansion comes from
some people who now have their entire
property holdings near the center of the
city. The county opposition Is prevalent
on account of the mistaken idea Of high
city taxes There is no occasion to IN
crease the tax rate Of those county peo-
pie admitted until their neighborhood is
improved and they get some substantial
returns for the increase in the tax rate.
A show of public spirit. according to
MIR Catlin, is demanded. Not only is it
needed to cope with the problem of con-
gesrion, but the present system of taxa
ton is injurious to some ana an outrage
to others.
