While perusing newspaper file In
1901 a real estate broker recently came
across story headed: Rise in rents is
raising howl" Reading on, he learned
that merchants In lower Manhattan were
raising indignant protest over the rent
increases then put into effect Any fur
thor attempts to increase rentals, 1t was
declared, would result In an exodus OF
business houses to other sections Of the
city.
The strongest objection was made by
a jeweller in Maiden lane. whose rent
had just been raised from $4,000 to
$1,000. The same property to-day Is
renting for $50, 900 on a net rental basis
which relieves the landlord of taxes and
all other carrying charges. In 1901 the
protesting merchant said: THE limit
has been reached and business men are
conscious that the time is near when a
change must be made. 1t will come In
the form OF a removal of business men
to other localities. OF course. each mer-
chant hesitates to make such a move
but 1t Is evident that trade centres must
be extended"
1t was further declared In this article
that rents were out Of all proportion to
the value of the property, and SO well
was real estate yielding that there was
practically nothing for sale. We won
der if any of these tradesmen are paying
present day rentals. IL so, and they have
any sense of humor. the protests Of 1901
must provoke many hearty laugh.
Tenement Renting Conditions.
Some interesting facts concerning
renting conditions In tenement proper
ties were disclosed this week by a
rr"ninent real estate operator and
pnTTder.
Up to n year ago, this man declared
there were plenty of vacancies In low.
rent tenements. and II was practically
impossible to obtain tenants for three.
room suites while rents were compare
lively low. In other words, these suites
remained untenanted while they might
have been had 40 IS a month. But ar
soon as rents were raised to 50 and 81
per month the demand increased. Tn,
explanation of this paradox Is that II
the days of high wages certain tenants
although accustomed to tenement en-.
vironments, considered II beneath thei,
station in life to pay rent as low as SIS
They were willing TO occupy them, how
ever, when the price had been doubled
To-day these low-rent tenements ar,
illed to overfiowing, and the pressur,

ments built for the poor since 1906, ant

If the Association Of Commerce that
we change the leaving time of our

from 4:45 p. m. to 5:45 or p. m.
While our Traffic Manager seems
to think that it is mistake to
change the leaving time of this train,
because the majority of the people
are women and children, and his in
vestigat1on indicates that they are
ready to return by 4:45 p. M, yet
we do not want to put ourselves IN
the position of opposing what the
Association of Commerce wants, SO
we have decided, effective Sunday,
June IL, 1921, to change the leaving
time of this train from 4:45 to $40
p. m., with the understanding that
if the excursiontsts are not satisfied
with this change we will restore the
leaving time to 4:45 p. m.
Very truly yours,

Where the flowers gently wave,
Lies the one we loved so dearly,

Loving hearts wilt always lnger
Around the grave where you are
laid.
It is one year, father dear, since you
have left. Us,
And we miss you more and more;
Our hearts are filled with sadness,
For your sweet smile we see no
We miss your coming footsteps,
We miss you everywhere;
Life it not what it used to be,
Since our dear father is not here.

economical woman The offerings at
the market are varied and the quail
ty is of the best.
Among the farmers who have been
faithful ali winter is Mr.. U. Keating.
He is there every Wednesday and
Saturday and has a big list of regular
customers. At Wednesdays market
he took in $25 in cash and some
charges On that day. he sold 1872
cream cheese. That is his average
sale amount every time. All other
farmers are doing very well and seem
grateful for efforts made in their
behalf.
Many Thanks to Mayor Badon for
the interest he has taken in the
market. His visits are much appre-
ciated and needed. Come again.
