Show A GOOD SUGGESTION. The iYr.s.s is riyht. 'With th: advent of spring there must be erected a con-siderabh? con-siderabh? ntimher of tenement houses. Not necessarily for the strangers that are coming iuto our city, but for tliose who are takiu; upon theui the yoke of married lh'e; sons and daughters of old residents, who are not so well favored as some, in that they cannot can-not afford the luxury of a home of their own. In conversation with one of our real estate men, we were informed but yesterday that there was not half a dozen houses in the whole city unoccupied and for rent. Then, again; the erection of tenement houses means work for the unemployed and the circulation of considerable money. There ire several men in Provo. any one of whom could pay for the eretion of fifty four-roomed residences. Say that four or live of such men I go to work and each place an order with lour contractors for building a row of cottages. "What would it mean ? I Why, that several thousand dollars - . wnnld.be put . in'M circulation, and1 work given to carpenters, masons, laborers la-borers and others. berides being a bless ng to those who are cooped up either in six-by-ten domiciles cr in the back room of some one else's residence. The DisrATcii hopes that the suggestion sug-gestion advanced by the I'rcsn will be acted upon, and that several of our respected citizens, who have the wherewithal, will place an order with I our builders for the erection of renl- I able houses. |
