| ing to any marked extent. although
rents may decline in the near future.
! The National Association of Real
! Estate Boards now states that rents
are more steady than for some time
, past. although local overbuilding in
some sections has caused n downward
tendency in that special section. Out
OF 100 cities reporting to this associa-
tion ii is found on analysis that resi-.
Dental rents are stationary in 20 of
them; 19 Of the cities indicate a lower
level. while II report residential rents
on the upgrade.
There seems to be a shortage of
residences in cities OF populations
under $4,000. while rents are tending
to weaken in the larger cities. In
other words. there Is an increasing
demand for small single-family resi-
dences, while apartment construction
seems to have caught up with the de-
mand.
How Interest Mounts Up.
When an investor considers bonds
and preferred stocks he naturally is
interested in getting as high rate OF
interest as possible. The higher the
rate of yield Of the stock or bond. the
better pleased investors are and the
more rapidly the bankers can sell
securities. 1t is generally accepted as
good news to have bond and preferred
stock issues overSubscribed and to
have them sell rapidly. We all forget
to think that the higher the rate OF
interest the greater the burden on
society: and the more securities sold
the greater the interest charge which
must be carried by the Nation.
There has been no time during the
past 20 years when this total interest

months This is a real danger signal

Reduced Taxes on Smaller Homes
Proposed by Baltimore Official

BALTIMORE. October "a plan to
lower taxes on small homes has been
suggested by Judge Centrum of the
Appeals Tax Court.
The plan would make levying of city
taxes similar to the system employed
by the Government in collecting in
come taxes.
Centrum suggested the first $4,000
worth of real estate be assessed at
only two-thirds of it's value and taxed
accordingly Each $1,000 worth over
the first $4,000 would be assessed at
full value.
Many of the city's small homes are
valued at approximately $4,000 and
are being assessed at full value.
Evening star., 1925-10-03

ported by officials of a real estate and
rental firm.
There Is more movement among
the apartment dwellers, and we have
signed up more apartment leases than
for some time. There will still be
plenty of apartments. however, The
situation as to houses was said to be
about the same.
Rents are remaining stationary, with
slight decline toward the center OF
the city.
Moving men say the costs of NOV
ing are about what they have been
for several years.
Evening star., 1925-10-03

My plan is only a suggestion, ;"
Centrum said in discussing it.
But l feel that something should
be done to relieve the small home own
er from taxes which will sooner or
later in many cases force him to sell
his property and live in d rented fiat.
I'VE do not want Baltimore TO be-
come a city Of tenements and tene-
ment dwellers like New York and 9TH
er large cities. The only way to pre-
vent it and keep living conditions in
the proper way is to make 1t possible

Lesson i'm Avoiding Debts.

The reason that the interest shows
less than the principal in the case of
Belgium is because Belgium was
charged no interest on its pre-war
debt. AS to the money paid on the
debts already funded, find that
