SOUTH B
WHY DO RENTS co UP 2
Question Being Asked In this
Borough by a Great Many.

People are asking what has taken
place i'll this borough to cause q raise
in rents. They say work has been
dull all winter, merchants have COM
planned all the season and yet it is
said rents are going up. Whv? Here
is n instance. Chris Rehfuss' house
with store is almost completed, people
arc wondering who is to have the
building. AS neal as can be learned
Chris Straub, jr. is to have 1t, though
others want it and to get it for their
business no doubt would be willing to
pay W more than has been asked
for it. 1t Is told that the flats will
not be sub let for less than SEQ and
$50 each. That, when q number of
people who are looking for n house,
desire that rents should be lowered
according to the amount OF business
d inc in the place. One would think
that the landlords and those who sub
let houses would try and find n reason
able excus5 for keeping up rents, as
they nre doing here without the
slightest reason for it. A story told
Monday of one landlord raising $40
per month for one side of q double
house, knowing that the family can
not find q house to suit them, seems
almost unbelievable. $35 per month
for an ordinary half of a double house
ina borough, is outrageous. Rents
are lower than that in Perth Amboy-
a city. The Dreamer dreamed that
the people would be compelled to fly
to the suburbs for homes appears to
be coming true sooner than anticipat-
ed, but not through the p. r. r.
Company, it is through the cupidity
of landlords who do not appear to
know when they are we'll off. There
may be a change soon, when the new
trolley comes. it will be easier living
out of town whore one will not have
to pay the price of a house in rent
when living in it for a few years.

pected to arise over the renewal Of
Cheeseman's license. A remonstrance,
was read by the clerk, against grant
ing the license. 1t was signed by
about 300 names, the only eason given
in the remonstrance for not granting
the license was the fear that it was
the cause of bringing 30 many of the
younger generation to ruin. In be-
half OF. Cheeseman Lawyer J.. A. Coan
said that he noticed that with the ex-
ception of one the signers of the re-
m~onstrances lived in various parts of
the town, three and four blocks at
least from Cheeseman's place of bust
ness, while he had presented a petit
tion signed by the neighbors of
Cheeseman and those in the immediate
| vicinity, that Cheeseman's license be
renewed. The petition, which had
about fifty signers, all residents of
Broadway, was read. Councilman
| Haines made a motion that the license
be laid on the table until the numer-
GUS signers of both petitions should
present arguments for, and against
the renewal of the license. The date
set for the presentation of such argu-
ments was fixed by the Mayor for
March 80, at s O'Clock.
The trolley ordinance was taken up
for it's second reading and, on motion,
of Hoffman, was continued until the

Rooseyelt's possession OF rash procliyi-
ties dangerous 10 the American people,
his late dealings with congress In the
matter Of DR. Crum's appointment fur
nish additional absolute and convincing
evidence.
Following his habit OF threatening
extra sessions, the president sought to
bully congress into confirming Crum's
appointment to the port OF Charleston;
declaring that he would reconvene the
body for no other purpose than TO deal
with the matter. unless his will should
be obeyed during the session Just closed.
In declining To confirm Crum's ap-
pointment in 1903 the senate stood
firmly upon the principal that appoint
ees must be acceptable 10 local opinion.
Upon the same principal was the re-
cent refusal based. Mr. Roosevelt has had
abundant opportunity to consult local
opinion concerning Crum. and the pat
ent fact is that he knew OF Charleston's
antipathy; but was too eager TO fling
wide the door Of hope" since the ap-
plicant had a dark complexion and
looked like a yote-getter. The second
even more than the first refusal OF the
senate emphasizes the erratic dogma
tism OF Mr.. Roosevelt Having gone
out OF his way 10 make unfair color dis
ordinations. the president insisted In
urging his selection upon the senate. and
the senate replied unmigi akably. The
Roosevelt rashness is seen clearly In at
tempting to force Crum down the sem
atos throat after the first refusal: more
clearly in the bullying menace OF an
extra session. To call an extra session

Mr. Roosevelt cannot claim that II was
