Upwards of 5000 Minneapolis fami.
lies have moved, are moving, or will
move during the fall, on the basis of
removals in past years. The moving
fever is costing an average of $40 a
family or between $4,000 and $780,
600 as sum total, to say nothing of
the money value of time taken, worry
undergone, and household goods lost
and damage in transit. In order for
the movers to leave one place and be-
gin to live in another, the gas COM
pany in one month was required to
make $500 meter changes and to
install more than 700 meters for new
customers. Accounts to the number
OF $500 had to be closed and reopened
on the books. Mailing machine adj
dresses had to be changed clerks had
to alter card indexes. extra meter
readings were necessary, and all
charges had to be rechecked The
water department. the electric light
company, every rental agent and ey-
cry transfer and express concern in
the city also took hand in the gen.
eral swapping. Also mention should
be made of the weeks of repairing. AL
terations and redecorating for new
tenants. The postoffice received IFS
full quota of work in recording the
countless changes and keeping tab on
the shifting class. Altogether, it cost
] the modest fortune of about S125. 1000
for the Minneapolis movers to change
places during the fall season
