Cheap Flats.

C. R. Il. Davis. president Of the Federal
investment Company. discussing the real
estate situation. says:
" The values Of real estate are nSeo py the
sEalues of surrounding improvements. Cheap
lats or cheap houses are a positive detrl-
lent to progress, and positive hlndrance
- real estate enhancement
I firmly believe the character OF indl-
viduals, and the happiness OF home lie are
as much influenced by cheap flats as the
values Of real estate are by the character
of such buildings.
Cheap fats have demoralizing tendencies
and influences. They are a constant ad-
vertfsement for false economy. They are
occupied mostly by people who mathemaa-
caliy. calculate to reduce to minimum the
cost of human endurance and human exist
ence whose sole object In life is to see
not how well. but how cheaplg they can
live. Cheap flats create poor housekeepers;
Every poorly planned. poorly constructed
and poorly lighted room creates thousand
new thoughts of neglect of homo duties. OF
discomfort, of apologies to friends and Cos
sipfng neighbors.
The finest locations.sfn so far as the lay
of the land convenient street car service
md other natural advantages and favorable
Sconditions are concerned. can be completely
SYuhed by a few cheap fat buildings. So
ON believe; the moral mental and nerv-.
tous condition OF human kind be changed
completely by adopted environment /,
Cheap fat buildings are therefore not only
ruinous to neighborhoods. to progress and
the better development OF real estate values.
but TO all that is cheerful. bright and pleas
ant in a home life.
