Development Of Vienna.

The architectural development of the
new part of Vienna, under the direction
of the government, stimulated private
enterprise throughout the entire city. The
old suburbs were torn away and replaced
by modern buildings Of an ornate and
solid character. The entire population
lives in apartment houses, with the ex-
ception of such members Of the nobility
as are rich enough to maintain places of
their own. Rentals are very high, and,
although the apartments are spacious Ahd
handsomely decorated, they are almost
uniformly without the comforts and con-
veniences which the American taste and
habits demand Bathrooms are very
scarce. An American who was looking
for an apartment not long ago COM
planned to the real estate agent that
there were no bathrooms in the apart
ments offered him at rental that would
pay for fine house in Chicago or Wash
ington. The agent replied that there was
a public bath on the same street only
four blocks away, and seemed surprised
when informed that such an important
circumstance made no difference He in
timated that Americans are too particu-
lar.
To furnish suitable homes for working
people i'm Vienna. Budapest and other
large cities of the empire is. considered
the business of the government. and So
cial reformers are agitating legislation for
that purpose The recent census of
Vienna shows for example, that 592 or
43 per cent, of the whole population live in
an average of one room each. exclusive Of
kitchen, and that 62 per cent of married
couples live in single room, with or
without children. This is due to the high
rents rather than the disposition Of the
tenants, and is considered dangerous to
the public welfare for many reasons. In
the first place 1t is considered unhealthful
to cook and live and sleep and eat in the
same room: and it is conceded that it is
not only unhealthful. but unwise. for
grown people and children to live in the
same room, and that this congestion must
be relieved by government Intervention.

first. to the large number Of men who
are in the army and the flood of emigra-
ton that has been going to the United
States. thus causing a scarcity Of labor
and high wages. It is also attributed to
the movement Of the country population
to the cities, which has contributed to
the same result.
The scarcity of farm labor and the In
crease OF wages have increased the cost
In order to pay their ma ket and grocery
bills the wages Of consumers have been

Apartment Houses Popular.

AS you know, everybody-au classes Of
the population-in Europe lives in apart
ment houses. There Is no such thing as
cottage home. even in country villages.
Farmers as we'll as mechanics are crowd
ed into suites Of two, three and four
rooms in lofty brick buildings covered
with stucco and ornamented with mold
ings. This gives an imposing appearance
and the sanitary laws, which are strictly
enforced, require so many cubic feet
of space and SO much ventilation so
many closets and bathrooms and so many
chimneys. But they are comfortless bar
racks compared with the homes of Amer
lean workmen, and cost the tenant quite
as much
of the landlord. He. too, has his burden.
People in the United States who are
grumbling about high taxes should find
much consolation in the knowledge that
their property is not situated in any of
the European capitals. In Berlin, for
example, American life insurance compa-
MES are required to invest a certain
amount Of their assets in city property,
and their taxes. which are no higher than
those of other real estate owners, amount
annually to more than one-third OF their
receipts from rentals. In Vienna taxes
are even higher. The man who owns the
building in which the American consulate
is located divides the rent with the gov
eminent in equal shares. The same rates
prevail i'm other large European cities.
In addition to this the building regula-
tons are rigid and make construction
very expensive. Every structure must be
| fireproof. with stone staircases to the top
| floor; double walls, floors and roofs OF
steel and terra Gotta. The front must
correspond with the adjoining buildings
| in height and architectural treatment A
| poor man cannot build home in any of
| the European cities. He must go into the
suburbs Hence most OF the ground Ovn.
