It is here;' in Lancaster, and. we have l?>en jn-J ! formed, in many other towns of the 1 same size. A gentleman who came * to Lancaster last fall and who h.isj ' ueen conieiu inrough necessity with ? rooms in the home of another, in- f formed The News a few days ago that the only course open to him was to give up his position here and go somewhere to get "a place to lay his head." He has heon notified to give ' up the rooms he now occupies and he has thus far been unable to secure withers. This is an extreme case but 1 is not isolated by any means. A ' few weeks ago a young couple were 1 taken in "out of the stieet" by aj 1 friend. Of course, not literally ta-j ken from the street but It amounted 1 ictically to that. Thus Lancus- ' ier has the housing problem to con- x tend with in equal force, proportionate to population, with the cities. ( i ue oniy remay is the building of ' houses. The government has issued many statements urging the people * to build now, even though material f does seem to be high. There is 1 it-1 ^ tie prospect of it being any lower for. ' a long time to come, and in the! meantime, there must he houses for| ( I he people to live in. Lancaster is! 1 growing. New people are coming' here constantly and new residences a-e absolutely necessary. Rents in r Micaster pay a fair dividend. A n house costing $3,000 will net the 1 owner perhaps better than six peri ' cent, after paying Insurance, taxes; ami repairs. Larger and more ex-' pensive houses perhaps will turn out as well for the investor, and maybe]( better. Kvery citizen of Lancaster nishes to so.- the town grow, hut 1 *svery new-comer cannot build a Is place ne nas noi nine io ouiio. ami in the second he knows that he may not remain always and therefore pre-, 1 Ver- to rent. When he leaves, however, there will he another man to ' occupv the house.

And, besides, when the gentleman mentioned leaves' o Lancaster because he cannot get a ' , house in which to live, it will give [Lancaster a black eve, which is not a good way to build up a town. I p The News is not versed in flnan- '] < ia 1 investments but we venture thej assertion that a not return of six per cent is a pretty good dividend. The development of a suburb and the * erection of twenty or fifty houses of the bungalow type, somewhere near J1 the city, would be a boon, and these t * houses could be either rented or sold, e , i! >ossibly on the instalment plan. drive i Phis would K-ve the man who works tirely < or a living the opportunity of own- The 11 tv )i iu inc n ti aiiio ') nd tin vino f t ll o *'l\i t "with rent money."
