A TENEMENT REF0RW1
St. Louis Man’s Plan to Better

Third ward, St. Louis. Nelson O. Nel
son, president of a manufacturing com
pany in that city and a practical phi
lanthropist, hopes to start a movement
among tenement owners that will ex
tend over the whole downtown resi
dence district, according to the plan
which he outlined to a St. Louis Post-
Dispatch reporter recently.
Two houses built forty to fifty years
ago have been chosen for the experi
ment. Little or no repairs have been
madil in twenty years. The improve
ment’ contemplated by Mr. Nelson in-
vpKfdes new floors and stairways, baths
(and plumbing and a liberal use of
paint.
The outside of the houses will also
be painted. Mr. Nelson will try to.in
terest his business friends to purchase
similar properties and make like Im
provements: also calling attention bf
those who already hold property in the
’ poorer sections of St. Louis to the need
of repairs and better conditions:
“These old houses will always be
inhabited,” said Mr. Nelson, “and they
migbt'as well be made habitable. They
are not fit places to live in now, but
. could easily be made so. They fill, up
the lots, fronting on both the streets
and the alleys, and are often not more
than two rooms deep. Almost every
lot has two houses with a large yard
between. This simplifies the problem
, greatly, as ail the rooms are light, and
perfect ventilation can be secured.
“As an Investment these houses now
pay from 10 to 15 per cent gross on the
market price. This is much too hlfth
for them as they are now, and even
when (Improved 4 of 5 per cent net on
the investnicnt should satisfy the own

According to the prelates, the en
cyclical is especially important since it
speaks authoritatively on subjects which
now are harassing the American secu
lar 1 as well as religious world. The
pope speaks in positive terms on the
vital Importance of moral teachings for
young and old and of the influence of
religious instruction bn the nation as
well.as the individual. He makes a
general review of the deplorable condi
tion of the
and
name and style of The Douglas County

“Furthermore, they seem uriaware
that the law of Christ not only forbids

they, without any scruple feed them
