wssh the renting season near ct hand,
The real estate dealers are distributing
rent isis to all who apply az the offices,
ana It will be seen tina, there are more
houses vacant this year than We're at
the same time last year. This is account
ed for by the fact that scores of new
residences have been erected within the
past six months. and many who We're
formerly renting are now moving into
their own houses. In Lee District this
is especially true. Many beautiful homes
have been erected in this section. and as
result there are for rent cards on sew
eral handsome dwellings in the West
End.
TO one who would walk about the
streets in the residential portions of the
city at this time, 1t would appear that
\ there Is large number Of dwellings for
rent, but such Is not the case, Many of
The dwellings upon which signs are tucked
have already been rented. The renting
season opens at the first of September
Those who have held leases on property
notified the real estate men some weeks
u ago that they would move, and imme-
4 ,diately there was tackled up a for rent
card. In many Instances the card would
nottbe on the house for more than a day
II when some one would sigma lease for the
dwelling for thc5,ncxt year. The card
would remain on the building, however,
K for several days, and often more than
Il week before being torn down.
Perhaps the most important transact
tion during the pest week was the clos-s
+ ing OF the contract for the ground upon
which the Jeff Davis monument is to be
erected.
Monument Avenue Boom.
Last week the foundation was started
s for several new residences on Monument.
Avenue. Within the past two or three
= years aatJ3least twenty-five costly and
handsome homes have been erected -on
this beautiful thoroughfaro. At the cors
q snerTof Monument Avenue and I4ombardy
g Streets the Stuart monument is well,
way, and the date for the laying
Of #thc cornerstone, November Sth, for.
the Davis monument on Monument Ave.
nue. extended, has been definitely de-.
cided upon.
1t is estimated that at least 100000
orthfof improvements are being erected
upon Monument Avenue lots, and a build-s
cr stated that he thought that, conscrva-
lively estimating the improvements now
being erected in tho West End, he would
put them at at least one-hnlf million
dollars. Il
