Rental agents report that many In

Big Deals Scarce.

quiet no sales OF any big consequence

class. The party had visited Peters,
burg without finding what he wanted.
He said there was desirable granite
in the neighborhood of Richmond but
he had found trouble in finding II
suitably located as regards railroad
facilities. He left Friday for Ash
land to inspect property in that
vicinity.
House and Lot Sold.
Demand for country and farm
property generally continues active,
this being especially the case with
property In close proximity to the
city suburbs. piece OF property in
this class that changed hands during
the week was a six-room house and
lot near Stop on the Petersburg
trolley line. The property was pur-
chased by Mrs. Helen Browning, SOC
North Thirteenth street, from Mrs,
Myrtle Anderson, the deal being con-
summated through the Noonander-
son Realty Corporation. which is now
handsomely quartered at 2S North
Eighth street. The price paid was
Sits.
Some persons seeking apartment
house quarters are complaining that
Richmond is sadly In need of quar-
tiers more adequately equipped with
cuisine attachments. which permit
the wife to do a little housekeeping
on her own behalf instead of having
to patronize the restaurant in the
building or to get board in the neigh
borhood.
Want Kitchen Attachments.
such restaurants are all right In
their way said a man from New
York who recently settled in Rich
mond, but they come very far short
or fflling the wants of persons who
are accustomed to keeping house in
apartments on their own account In
New York and other large Northern
cities. for instance, ample provision
In this respect Is made and l trust
Richmond apartment builders will pay
more attention to this matter In the
future man they have done in the
past"
