In some in- stances people are ol4ering landlords 1 big inducements to oust old occupants | and turn the places over to them, but so far very few if any such things have l occurred. The only appreciable effect l the scarcity in rents Is having is the ] raising of rents, which are going up at a rate that is surprising. In addition to this taxes are high and owners of 1 buildings are obliged to get more out of them or go to the wall. Under ex- 1 isting conditions the man who is rent l ing tenement is much safer than the landlord, for there is not much in the business. especially in parts of the town where rents do not command as much as they do in others, although there is no difference in the price of water and the basis of taxation.
