The housing problem is engaging the
attention of those who wish the city well
at the present time. and also occupying
the minds of those Of other cities. 1t
has been brought about by many causes.
The principal cause Is that it has been
Improbable to own real estate, and
tenants have been living at the expense
Of the landlords, who have not been able
to obtain sufficient income from the
property TO pay the interest on the in
vestment or any amortization OF the
building.
There Is a way out that is not diff
fcult IL the foundations for reconstruc-
ton are properly built.
Real estate for the past twenty years
has borne an unfair proportion of the
taxes of the cities. Thirty per cent. OF
the rent from a house is at once paid
for taxes. The cost of repairs and up
keep have nearly trebled. and now that
the landlord can obtain and is trying to
obtain fair return on his investment,
he Is accused of profteerlng.
Now. IL Is not possible to induce cap
ital to construct buildings which cannot
make a fair return, and where, If a man
attempts to make a fair return. he Is
held up to the public as a rent profteer.
