ECONOMIC QUESTION.
Rev. George II. Dole Says, Referring to
Returns on Real Estate Investment

The matter of returns on real estate
Investments is an economic and not a
sentimental question, in the view OF Rev.
George Henry Dole, who claims that the
three houses he owns at l4Ol, 3 md 5
Adams street, returned only four and
three-tcnths per cent Inst year, which
was four-tenths Isrs than the previous
year, and made the investment losing
one, by comparison. In his view, rents
should be advanced in sympathy with
the increased wages paid 10 labor, and the
greater costs of repairs in both labor and
materials.
The complaints of his tenants, who arc
William G. Mcdowell, Henry Prickett
and Charles II. Lockwood, will be heard
by the Housing Adjustment Committee
next Monday, when Mr.. Dole will appear
in his own defence, and 90 into the details
of his view of economic problems, which
he thinks are not properly understood by
those who pay the rent.

be conducted by some members of

years ago when A. w. WeMott and
