come to see him.

Speaking, generally, of the rent
problem, however, we would be will
ing to lay a wager that the net in
come from property built for rent
is as small as the amount realized
from the savings banks. Especially
is this true in towns the size Of Alb
beville. A house and lot which
costs three thousand dollars or up
wards can hardly be rented for
more than twenty dollars per month,
which if full rent be paid, and there
were no charges against the in
come, would amount to eight per
cent. on the investment. Expert
ence will show, however, that prop
erty of this kind is rarely rented
for more than ten months in the
wear. With each new tenant, the
repair bills come, and with the or
binary repair bills, the plumbers
bills, the painting, taxes, insurance
and other charges considered, the
net income to the owner is less
than five per cent. in most cases.
Those who have built for rent
may be willing to continue to take
this amount for their property. The
fact that they have taken less than
a reasonable income for their prop
erty for long time might suggest
that now they should obtain a fair
rental for it. But leaving this out
of the discussion, the consideration
is as to more houses to rent. A
great many people will not buy or
build. They prefer to rent be-
cause it is cheaper to do so than to
buy or build. Again, there are some
people whose place of abode is not
so fixed that they feel safe in either
buying or building, knowing that
there will be a loss in case of an
enforced removal.
With a normal growth in the pop
ulation of this city, . and of other
like cities, the time is coming when
the number of houses will not ac-
commodate these people who desire
to \ rent. Where shall they go?
Some pepole say that new houses
should be built for rent, as the in
vestment is a good one No man
who has tried it says so, however.
And if the investment in the past
had been profitable, with lumber
now selling for forty dollars per
thousand feet, and it of the poorest
grade, we fear that the man who
can figure a profit in the renting
business is yet to be born. Already
in Abbeville all houses for rent are
occupied so far as we know. 1t has
not seemed that Abbeville has been
growing of late years, but we know
that it has been, else all these houses
would not be occupied. Where are
those who are still to come to re-
side unless houses are built? And
who will build them to rent at a
loss? Why should a man put money
in a house for rent and realize four
per cent. on his money, carry, HIM
self the risk of losing n fourth OF
the money invested in the building
by fire, (the insurance companies
refusing to carry but three-fourths)
when he could invest his money in
safe securities at six or seven per
cent. and have less trouble in real
izing on the investment.
Those people who are complain
ing of rents had as we'll prepare to
build. Most of the suckers who
build houses to rent have already
