Places to Live.

Washington has many fine apart
ment houses. They are adapted to
the needs of the rich. In these build
ings the rent of moderate suite
amounts to more than the income OF
the average citizen These apartment
houses, of course, represent the re-
Spouse to a demand, and they afford
a safe investment. They do not meet
the problem of homes for the wage
earners who could live comfortably
within their earnings except for the
payment of rents altogether out OF
proportion to the other expenses,
granting these in many instances to
be higher than they could be made
by any legitimate economic law For
a large number of commodities con-
suners are forced TO pay a price not
only extortionate but artificial. This
does not apply to Washington alone,
but to all cities.
A great lack in Washington is OF
homes, modest, comfortable; homes
III small houses in the suburbs. or in
apartment houses not designed for
taking from each tenant the utmost
dollar that can be exacted. Money
invested to meet this demand would
be certain TO return good interest
Good houses at reasonable rental
would be taken faster than con-
tractors could put them up.
There is not observed any DISPOSE
ton to eater to the large class of men
whose salaries are from ST 800 tC
$500 year. Such men. unless they
have some additional resource cannot
under present conditions suitably
house their families, or do more than
meet the bill of the landlord Wash
ington has many thousands whose in
comes are in the neghborhood OF
$1,000, and who find existence a hand
to-mouth affair, because too much OF
this must go for mere place OF
shelter
