CHICAGO. JAN 29.-The Mortgage
Bankers Association of America said
today survey disclosed a majority
Of the Nations mortgage bankers be-
lieve city dwellers will not be bur-
dened with rent increases this year.
The association said it conducted
the survey in 68 principal cities. Six
ty-five per cent Of the bankers polled
expect no rent boosts in single fam
lily houses in 1898: 81 per cent expect
no increases in apartment rentals: II
per cent anticipate no rise in Office
space charges.
George H. Patterson, association
secretary. said predictions against rent
increases were strongest IN the far
West. Mountain and Southern States.
Similar opinion was fairly strong in
the Middle West. The consensus
among Eastern bankers, however, was
not quite so conclusive, he said, indi-
eating some possibility of higher rents
in that area. although more than half
OF the replies received predicted no
gains
These results are in line with sta
tistics from the countrys leading
fact-finding agencies, which show that
the long rent rise may have been halt
ed. at least temporarily" Mr.. Patter-
son said.
Last November the rent index
dropped fractionally for the first
month since January, 1894. the low
point of the depression as far as rents
are concerned. Rents, OF course, are
closely tied in with new building,
costs of building and general economic
conditions. all Of which are reacting
unfavorably toward any further in
creases.
mo further rent increases in many
respects means a reduction, because
taxes, high labor and repair costs
and the price of many building ma
terials are still going up. Rents gen.
orally are only AZ per cent above the
depression low. while many costs di-
rectly affecting them. such as COM
mon labor, are at all-time highs"

right cars to take girl around in. Sports car
for blow, limousine for evenings, and speed

He had way of saying as he tucked her in
beside him, "Snuggle up" which she found
rather endearing. She knew he was going to
propose to her. and she thought it probable
she would accept him. But she wasn't in love
with him.
And then, without warning. Saville
Carpendale walked into their lives. He smiled
at Margaret, and held up finger and beck
