ILL NOT RAISE RENTS OF OLD
TENANTS THIS YEAR.

No general rise in rentals OF old
houses Is contemplated by owners. but
the average rents paid in all central
sections will be higher as a result of
the replacement OF old structures with
much more costly houses and the abo-
lition OF the free-rent system. Old ten
ants who stay In their homes will not
have to pay more this year. but the av-
erage will be raised by the additional
sums charged to new tenants
Recently completed structures in old
centres return several times more rem
tails than did the houses which they
have replaced. 1t has been the custom
OF owners In both new and old ouses
TO give one or two months rent free as
an attraction for desirable IA The
demand for apartments 10 30 great this
ear with the increasing pressure OF
population that the fres-rent custom
will be eliminated in nearly all OF the
more popular districts. In compare
lively outlying sections. where from two
to forr months could be had a year or
two ago. It will be hard for prospective
tenants TO get q full month, and many
will not be able to get a half month.
This abolition Of free rent will add
from 10 to 20 per cent. to the income
yield Of the property. thus raising the
average rental by just so much. In
some Of the northern parts Of Manhat-
tan n through the Bronx landlords
have been In the habit of giving their
old tenants q month free each year.
They will not do so now. as a rule.
FEAk. SERIOUS ovERcRoWDINo
IN CENTRAL DISTRICTS.
Operators and investors have been
buying hats and apartments of every
type this week to discount the coming
congestion. They So that the rate OF
progress with new rapid transit pro-
jects does not promise speedy relief and
that three or ( ru years must pass with
out housing conditions growing steadily
more crowded in central sections. This
means an assured income from such
properties, with q good chance of an
actual advance IN rentals for both old
and new tenants, before the subways
could he finished for operation. because
the rapid rate Of population increase
indicates that fully 10000 more persons
each year will be crowded into old
Manhattan home districts.
Building statistics prove that theri
will be no new housing accomm0da'
lions for the additional population
More old homes are being torn dowr
than the new ones replace. In fact
the new structures are designed FOL
families that pay much higher rent
than tho families that have been un
housed by demolition OF old structures
This Is crowding the poorer masseI
into a steadily diminishing ON area
and their competition with each othel
for suitable living accommodation tend

Enthusiasm was one of the promi-
nent features at the meeting of the
Nankato Commercial club last night.
An adjourned session was held
in the city hall.
A nominating committee consisting
of ]. w. Andrews, f. X. Meagher,
J. R. Snow, H. E. Hance and B. F..
Pay had been selected at the last
regular meeting by acting president
A. ]. Veigel. The officers elected
are men of affairs. have the interests
of the city at heart, and are ever
ready to give their time and money
to advance Mankato commercially
and otherwise. They are live wires"
and if the public will cooperate with
the club officers there will be no
question of beneficial results.
In assuming the office of president,
Frank Crandall thanked the mem
bers for the honor conferred upon
him, but accepted same very reluct-
antly. He desired the hearty coop
Grafton of the club members and
business men of the city, and with
this cooperation there was no ques
ton of the clubs success.
Plan Sane Fourth.
A. ]. Veigel suggested the chair
appointment of a committee of three
whose duty it would be to plan a
sane Fourth of July for Mankato
The larger cities had taken up this
matter. The children could have a
parade in the forenoon, patriotic
program at the fair grounds or park
in the afternoon, ball game and
other sports could be arranged

President Crandall said he would ap
point committee who could report
at the next meeting. A, J. Veigel
J. w. Andrews and f. NJ Deerhake
were appointed.
The selection of secretary OF
the club was brought up at this
time, but the matter was left to the
advisory board and other officers to
make a selection. DR.. Andrews
thought the club should have Z
treasurer and authorized the secre
tary to cast the ballot for W. d
Willard. Judge Cray thought the
secretary should also act as treas
urer as this would save considerable
work
Mr.. Willard declined to act a,
treasurer, but favored the selection
of a treasurer as well as secre
tary. On motion of III. L. Scbmit
the matter was deferred until the
