THE TIMES PAGE LABOR CHEAPER, PRICES LOWER, BUT RENTS ON UPWARD TREND 9 iSdUAaLaSi.

(BT H. D. GARRITSON) STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICEJ INDIANAPOLIS There la no tendency toward lower rentals in Indianapolis. On the contrary, rental rates for apartments and residences properties enow an upward trend. For one voluntary reduction In rents there hav been six notices of immediate increases and tenants have been confronted with the alternative of paying more or moving; and there Ig no place to move. to. "I have had two notices from property owners of decreases in rents and at least a dozen notices of increases." the manager of one of the city's leadins rental agencies told the International News Service. His statement is typical of word from rental offices. Another said: "While labor is slightly cheaper and prices of building- material are lower, these indications of

lower maintenance for rental property are more than offset by the enormous tax rate in Indianapolis." The tax levy here is $2.42 per S100 of valuation. The housing situation has eased some what in this city as a result of the erection of perhaps a dozen new apartment houses and the construction of many new homes. Nevertheless, apartment dwellers and others are hard put when confronted with the question of moving or standing increased rents. The average rental in Indianapolis it was stated by one real estate man, are $50 a month for half of a modern double house and $70 for a Ave room

apartment. In some apartments the monthly rate includes ice, gas and electricity, as well as heat. No organized effort has 'been made here toward forcing a reduction of the rents.
