Hayti- -Caruthersville

Truth is stranger than fic-
tion."
Hayti and Caruthersville
have united in the "holy bonds
of matrimony." Perhaps the
"holy" is not wholly whole. In
the ordinary run of affairs it is
hardly ever so. That's the
pity of it. But Caruthersville
and Hayti, after nearly thirty
years of seething, frothing bel
ligerency, have put on the bri-
dal veil.
"The lion and the lamb have
lain down together"
Alas, it has come to this!
1t had to.
Politics makes strange bed
fellows"
And may he who kicks the
"kiver" off be damned!
That accounts for it. We
had to roost under the same
"kiver." It was either that or
no "kiver" for either to roost
under.
We have fought, tooth and
nail, hip and thigh, and pros
pered, more or loss. Often
less. Pulling together un-
doubtedly means more "kiver''
for each and for all.
Let's pull.

ed by the two Commercial

left at home. Representatives

turn Of that demand. Hence the activity
which seems to have been focused
during the last few days in the fine old
Lenox Hill district.
Now this spurt in home buying
should not be regarded as an indication
OF any waning in popularity of apart
ment houses or apartment life. There
are no signs of that What has been
taking place during the last few days
merely empha sizes the fact that New
Workers. Of a certain class. for business
OF other reasons. are desifous of becom-
ing home owners. In many cases those
who sell their homes either move out of
town or to an apartment or an apart
ment hotel. Others buy house else
where. The outstanding fact remains
that more than ordinarily large num-
ber Of New Workers have decided to go
back to life in private residence.
There is one interesting significance
which / perceive from this recent ac-
tivity on the upper East Side" con-
tinted Mr. Gilman. That is the fact
that the tendency Is for buyers to so

Property transfers in the Lenox Hill

New Workers are not all eager 10 be

The big city unless one spends II ~ q

Now and then the realty pendulum

basement thrown in fer good measure
such Il reacticnary sweep Of the pendu-
Ium occurred last week when an un-
usually large number OF residences
were bought fer occupancy in the LenoN
IIil section of the upper East Side.
According 10 expert realty observers
and brokers. there are two plausible
explanations, for this sudden recru-
descence or private house buying. They
are as follows:
First-The altitude OF high class
apartment rents. in the face of de-
creased private incomes.
Second--The large number Of attrac-
Rive private residences chat are to be had
at prices comparatively little higher
than they were ten years ago.
"The chief reason as | see IT." says
Douglas l.. Gilman. lis the cont nued
high price Of apartments. These are the
days Of shrunken incomes and It has not
taken some persons long to discover that
they can reduce their overhead cx-
penses by a wide margin by buying a
house. This phase OF toe economic
factor involved Is emphasized by the
TACT that the income tax favors the home
owner to the disadvantage of the apart
rnent dweller. The money paid out for
mortgage interest on a private resi-
dence may be deducted from net income
when one figures out his income tax.
The fact that imitation did not affect
J.rivate house values as thoroughly as
Il did most other commodities 5 GER
tainy another real factor in the re-
turn OF popularity Of this form Of in
vestment | can state with certainty
that in many cases private house values
are as low as they were ten years ago.
and in some cases they are lower.
During the period Of imitation there was
a rush for apartments and hotels. This
left the house market, particularly in
the I.enox Hill section, bereft of the
Z usual power Of imitation. The demand
