this slack state of affairs cannot prove
to be anything but temporary, and the

brunt of the cost increases.
The time has passed, according to
Robert B. Kane, a local real estate

relative to the booming demand for
homes here:
Property in Big Demand.
1.-The man who calls real estate
man into his confidence and swears
him to secrecy and tells the agent
where he can find a buyer for a piece
of property has become a joke Now
the big favor seems to be on the pa TT
of the dealer who will tell a~buyer
where he might find house.
