Paris Rents Soar
In Houses Planned
For Middle Class
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, January 21.-By having
to build at a cost more than twice
that of the original estimate. the
City of Paris has demonstrated
strikingly the rapid rise in prices
and the difficulties Of the housing
problem.
Six groups of apartment houses
to accommodate LISP families have
been finished, but the tenants who
fill them pay twice the rent an
nounced two years ago, when plans
for the buildings were accepted.
The rise in material costs, interest
rates and labor was constant; con
sequently the rent which had to
be fixed on completion of the
houses, is beyond the pocketbooks
of families with moderate incomes,
who were to have been aided.
The buildings are substantial.
but room partitions are thin and
all the woodwork is of economical
design.
