RENTS ON THE EAST SIDE.
Exactions Of New York Tenement
Owners.
From Charitics and the commons.

From Charities and the Commons.
Dr. Charles S. Bernheimer, assistant
head worker of the University settlement
in a recent investigation of typical East
Side block, found the average rentals to
be $1O.66 per month for two rooms. $14 .Oa
for three rooms. S1SG3 for four rooms and
$20.56 for five rooms.
The cause of the present situation is
not difficult to find. Rents on the lower
East Side would necessarily be high in
any case. because of the high land values.
But this is not the only reason for the
large amounts demanded Speculation in
tenements mas been an important factor
| The Real Estate Record and Guide for
| November 81. 1906. in an editorial on the
/ real estate market in Manhattan states
| that during the three years of 1853 1904
and 1903 almost every tenement house in

must come out of the tenants. and this is

speculative builder of new houses who

resented by the tenants, is the sO-called

The great demand for living quarters
resulting from the constant inflow Of i'm
