Cheap Rent.
! Rental charges for a lot vary
from $40 to SIS a year, the aver
lage place renting at SIS, The
i higher prices are for more desira-
ble or especially attractive lots in
Ia subdivision. Since the prices are
nominal it indicates that the pri-
mary object of term permits is not
ito secure revenue but to promote
she use of national forest lands for
recreation purposes. At the same
time. since permittees obtain spe-
Ioial benefits, it is only fair that
lthey should reimburse the govern
, ment to some extent for the eXpen-
ditures it incurs in administering
the land.
Rights Protected.
Building restrictions in civic de-
velopments and city and town sub
divisions have proved entirely teaS-
ible and equitable in many cases
all through the country The dam
age done a property built at con
siderable expense and of high
grade architecture, through the
erection on an adjoining lot of al
lunsightly and cheap building
building, is calculable in dollar
and cents. There is no redress fol-
the first owner unless there has
been a violation of a building re-

, descriptive and detailed plan Of
Ian structuresthat are to be erected
, prior to granting permission L
proceed with building. This re-
striction is purely informal and i
is not to be inferred that profes

That the restrictions in the torn
of rules and regulations, and s.
on, and in building restrictions, arr

popularity of this act. The Angelo
