MORE SMALL HOUSES WANTED.

He will do most for st. Paul at this
moment who shall provide the city with
a few thousand small houses for rent
at reasonable figures. The measure OF
the wonderful growth which 1t is en-
joying just now in the pressure upon liv-
ing accommodations. Houses We're never
so scarce even in the years when we
were pushing most rapidly to the front.
Rents have risen and are still jumping,
under pressure of the unprecedented
demand. Although host of fiat build
ings have been erected, most of the
apartments are under lease some time
before they are ready for tenants. And
still the cry of the houseless goes forth,
and houses are scarcely to be had at
any price.
While this is an evidence of sub
stantiaI increase in business and popu-
lation, an advance all the more re-
markable in that it comes at time
when there is nothing but the adj
vantages of the city to account for it,
it is also a condition which we cannot
afford to have continued. 1t eats too
largely into the wages of labor when
rents go up inordinate1y, and people
seek other centers where the cost Of
living is less. If we want to keep the
advantage we have won, we must have
more houses.
This is the opportunity for capital
and public spirit combined. Real
estate at present prices is a good in
Vestment even though it brought in no
regular income. But land can be
bought and houses built for an
amount on which the present scale
of rentals will pay higher rate
of interest than even the most
seductive of other enterprises can
offer. Our people should look to it
that the occasion be not neglected.
Give us more houses, especially of the
cottage variety, such as can be rented
at modest figures and still yield a good
profit, and we shall be improving our
city, increasing our business, adding
to ourr population and finding most
profitable occupation right here for our
surplus, capital - e,<4 -

This is one of the points that Mr..

were started by a mans throwing a
gallon of crude oil in the firebox to
