Rentals We're Higher Ten
Years Ago Than To-day
Virginia Landlord Convinces Tenant That He Paid
More tor Premises in 1909 Than To-day, Even
though Kent Is Boosted From $15 10 500

A dispute between landlord ant
tenant down in one of the large cite,
or Virginia has developed an interest,
ing argument in support of the land.
lord. 1t is an unusual case and con.
veys IN striking fashion, If somcvha,
humorously, the position of the man
owning rentable property 1t shows
him in a far better light than he is
held generally.
His demand for more rent is far loss
than the demands placed on people by
dealers IN the commodities of life. and
II comparison were made between
rentals paid in New York now and
before the war and the prices pro.
valllng in the food markets Of tins
city IN 1914 and now, it will be found
that the dollar brought less accommo-
dations in 1914 than food. and that
to-day 1T is the other way around: the
dollar is bringing less food than liv-
ing accommodations
Figuring this way which was the
way the Virginia landlord presented
his case to his tenant, rentals five
years ago were higher in this CITY than
they are to-day. A communication to
1.-THE Virginian- Pilot" came into tho
hands Of Douglas l.. Gilman. who
forwarded it to The Tribune as AN
interesting contribution to the vast
amount of literature on the renting
and housing situation The letter is as
follows:

the same house, and from the same
landlord, for the last ten wears T
began paying $40 a month, and he has
increased the rent from time TO time
until now pay sl00 a month. com
planned that he. the landlord ,.,s

would rent the house TO mo at tho same
OLD price, S45, provided that wound

most any other staple commodity al tho

ana use the market report in The Vir-
~" '4oC zen Years ago as u basis
of prices. '''''
Nov, searched UP an old paper and
figured it out. and find that was paw
ing more rent then than now. Ten
years ago for $45 could buy 45o
pounds of bacon; now for 500 | can
get only 2225 pounds OF bacon. Then
could buy 221a kegs of nails for s45.
and now ! can get only 12j2 kegs of
