Of from 2I to so Per Cent

Pittsburg. Richmond, Ind: Rockford.

In thirty-one cities rents increased

In twenty-five cities the rent in

Maiden. Ma nchester, New Orleans,

Seven cities report no rent increases
during the five-year period. namely:
Dubuque. FL Paso. Grand Rapids,
Great Falls. Mont: Nashville, st.

Many of the above reports are
based upon a single estimate. For
other cities the estimates were two,
three. four or more. the grea test
number being for New York and Gin
cinnati, nine each. 1t is noted that
CITIES of war industries. where sharp
advances were the first to appear,
are now showing a lesser tendency
to advance.
1t would be interesting to discover
why there Is a marked divergence
in the rent advance, but many ele-
ments would enter into the investi-
cation. When. the war began there
was variation in the supply of
houses in different cities Some To-
calities were stimulated more than
others by war industries, etc.
Sarcity of houses is the reason most
commonly assigned for the rent ad-
vances. The opinion was frequently
expressed by those replying to the
boards QUESTIONABLE that rents
would continue to advance for some
time.

CHAIN BRIDGE HINDERS
TRAFFIC, SAYS LETTER

In a letter to Carl E. Mapes, chair
man of the House District Commit
tee. the District Commissioners yes
terday gave the opinion, the Chain
Bridge is unfit and unsafe for mod.
ern highway traffic.
The letter said: THE bridge was
built in 1874, and consists of six
spans Of III feet each and two spans
of 10 feet each. At the presnt time
1t will carry distributed load Of
seventy-five pounds per square foot.
These loadings are very much less
than the weight of the loaded vehicles
now in common use in this vicinity
The present bridge fails to meet the
needs of modern traffic, and it serves
as an obstacle to retard the develop
ment of commercial relations be-
tween the District and that part of
Virginia"
