about $50 per apartment. Taxes thus
take al cents out of each rental
dollar, or a little over seven weeks
rent per year.
Rental and tax records on sample
groups of detached dwellings in 81
cities show average monthly rentals of
approximately $45 per home at cur
rent rates, while the 1887 taxes which
must be paid in 1888 average $155.70
per residence, thus taking 288 cents
out of each rental dollar, or little
over three and a third months rent
per year.
Ratios given on the properties
studied are of taxes to rental rates,
the report points out; no attempt is
made to allow for vacancies or COL
lection losses and the ratio of taxes to
actual income would necessarily be
somewhat higher.
The study just completed supports
the results of similar survey made
year ago by the same organization,
when approximately the same average
tax ratios were revealed by study
of 1854 dwelling units in 48 cities.

share of attention, and the National
Associations Income Production Serv-

year, will be further enlarged upon
as phase Of the associations activi-

Skyscraper Problems.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
skyscraper industry has been free
from extreme labor difficulties as COM
pared with other fields, labor policies
will be thoroughly discussed, particu-
larly as they affect the industry's ten
ants and its potential tenants.
Federal legislation will be given a
prominent place in the proceedings
and the economic outlook will be dis
cussed by a speaker Of national repu-
tation.

Taxes Take Much Rent Cash,

Three and one-third months of your
rent money each year goes for taxes

rent is taken by taxes if you are an
apartment dWeller.
OF 48 United States cities reporting
in survey by Northwestern National
Life Insurance Co., 20 have increased
their realty tax rates over those Of
the preceding year. Rents, which rose
along with taxes in 1887, have receded
somewhat since the first of this year,
but the tax collector still gets about
the same proportion of your rent DOL
lar as he did a year ago-not quiet %
cents-if you live in detached house,
and slightly over IA cents if you are
an average apartment dweller, the
study shows.
The lower ratio of realty taxes to
apartment rentals. the report points
out, is offset by the fact that approx
imately one-half of the apartment
rental dollar goes for services, such
as fuel, water rent, janitor service, etc.
The records of representative groups
OF residential property in 80 widely
scattered cities. revealed by realtors
who co-operated in the survey, show
that realty taxes levied in 1887 for
payment in 1888 are up 78 per cent
over taxes assessed on the same prop
critics for the preceding year.
Meanwhile, rent levels in the
United States as whole have re-
ceded since January. after a three
year rise, and are now only per cent
above rental rates of a year ago.
Annual rentals on the 167 apart
ment houses in the survey, contain
