Rtentais Firrniuoe Up, * The sales on the uorth shore since the first of the year are already an impressive total and as for the, relit- ing situation,- it is significant tbaàt, wliereas in past years it was îquite possible for tenants to move f romi *house to bouse at a lesser renltai. this year that situation is entirely re- versed: rentais are firming up and tenants are giad to rTemain whcre *they are even at increased rentaIs. Furthermore,..owners. forced. ,by the depression to move from their homes to apartm efts or to snialler, less expeiisive hiotses, are begiinning to be able Io return to their owni homes. There is, a pressure' on teniants on aIl ides to, buy. And by the samre tokeni it is becoing iiucreasingly ap- parent to those who desire to cone to the north shore to live that they too had perhiaps better bily rather than rent.

White the psychological effect of great spaces above is to create a feel- ing of coolness, actually, un1essi that space is properly drained of its heat- ed air by high windows or vent flues, it merely serves as a place to store tp hotter and hotter air, which, in turni, heats the ceiling and the floor above.
