About 500 Apartment Houses.
The apartment house situation In this
city still continues to be one OF the most
Interesting phases OF the market. This is
the case from almost any standp ONT one
chooses to look at 1t. Although during the
past ten years. including the present year.
nearly 500 of these structures, from the

money in them. and while 1t is not claim

1t Is believed there will be a change IN
THIS particular and that apartment houses
