ARE THERE LOTS ENOUGH?
Real Estate Men Are Divided on I'm
portant Subject.

Ten members Of the Minneapolis Real
Estate board, as an appointed commit
tee, are Investigating the subject Of
new plats, which has agitated the mem
hers Of the real estate fraternity since
the passage OF new ordinance requir-
ing streets In the new additions to be
graded before the plats are accepted by
the council. Something like q dozen
or more plats are held up by the ordi-
nance. ::
Opinion in the board is divided on
the question. Several strong members
believe that there are enough residence
lots on the market now, and that the
supply should be sold off before any
more are plated for sale. Other mem
bers. think this attitude is wrong, be-
cause certain class Of wage earners is
unable to pay as much as 5000 to $3.50
for lots, and the new plats placed upon
the market lots that can be sold with
profit at $100 up, and on easy terms.
the plated area are advantageous, they
argue. - ~ I =.
What riles the real estate men who
oppose the Duryea ordinance is the fact
that under the new law lot owners will
have to pay for grading the streets in
the new additions, which hitherto the
city has paid FOR. Thus, they say, the
citizens are divided into two unequal
classes, producing an unconstitutional
condit The agents who propose
TO plat additions say that they are
willing to forego any possible claim for
damage in case the City should change
when the plat is made. They want
| the city to pay for the grading as here
| tofore, 80 as not to have hardship
