SCARCITY OF HOUSES
Presents a Serious Problem Fol-
Future Solution.

Perhaps there never was time in
the history of Grand Rapids, when
desirable houses were in as great de-
mand, as at the present time. Early
last spring houses commanded pre-
MUM, and there has not been a time
since then, that really desirable
houses, did not bring their owners
from thirty to fifty percent greater
returns than ever before. In some
cases even 100 per cent more rent was
obtained by very little expenditure
for Improvements.
What is true of dwelling houses in
Grand Rapids is also true of store
buildings. Last summer several de-
sirable store buildings could be had.
This spring, however, there was a
great movement of mercantile estab-
lishments and when proprietors had
settled down in their new quarters,
it was found that all the desirable
store buildings had been taken, and at
the present time there is scarcely a
store room which is unoccupied.
In view of this condition there is a
great deal of talk among men of
means, about the erection of new
store and Office buildings. Several
have been projected and unless some
unforeseen circumstance should arise
to disturb the present generally pros
porous conditions, Grand Rapids may
see several handsome business blocks
erected within another year.
While there is apparently move
ment to build new store and business
blocks, there is very little talk among
the moneyed men, that would indi-
cate anything like a movement to
provide homes for the people who are
bound to come to Grand Rapids with
in the next year. Several hundred
men are sure to be employed by the
factories and mills now in course of
erection. There will be an increased
force in every factory now in opera
tion in the CITY next year, if the
bookings are any criterion. The
question of homes will then be a
serious one, and the erection of new
dwelling houses will have to be rap
pid. The serious problem of provid
ing homes for those who are sure to
come to Grand Rapids in the next
few months, will not be trifiing one
if present indications are not mis-
leading.

TWO-CENT RATE NEXT FRIDAY
In Effect Generally East of the Mis-
souri, River.

Chicago, July 1.-THE long talked
of reduction in interstate passenger
rates of western railroads will actual
ly be made next Friday.
Generally speaking, all rates east
of the Missouri river will be on a
basis of 2 cents per mile, while to all
points west of there rates will be re-
duced by the difference between the
present basing rate and the new bas-
ing rate in effect next Friday.
The reduction of interstate fares by
the western lines is the natural result
of the passage of laws by Arkansas,
Missouri, Nebraska, Illinois, Iowa and
Minnesota.
The eastern roads propose to make
similar reductions in their interstate
fares. Their rate clerks will meet
here today and continue in session
until they have checked up all the in
terstate fares on the basis of the maxi
mum legal mileage of the various
states.
