One of the ques-tionsthat is-interestlng the realty dealers atid property owners of this city Is the location of the new $180,000 postoffice which will soon bo built here with the funds provided by the recent appropria-n tion from 'the Government, secured a fight of several years.

Of the sum which VwiH. be available for the Wilding and site, at leart $25,000 will be spent to acquire the ground for the new Federal structure, which will be one of the finest edifices In the city. Postmaster C. S. Merrill has already received a number of offers from owners and agents for centrally located property, and is considering the advantages and prices of each, possible site.

That the building will be placed as near the business1, center as possible Is assured and the problem Js to secure a site both advantageous and reasonable in price. It Is believed that the "Woolsey property at the southeast corner of Milvia street and Allston way offers the best location for the structure, which will also house the offices of the Collector of the Port of Berkeley, soon to be established in view of the recent order of the Secretary of the Treasury. This site faces the Home Telephone building on Milvia street and the new M. C. A- building on Allston way.

The new Shattuck Hotel adjoins this property on the "east, and the lot has the advantage of being only fine block. from Shattuck -avenue, the main business thoroughfare of the city. is within easy access from the city hall andj only One block distant from the high school. As Kittredge street will soort be opened from Shattuck to Milvia, the new building. If located there, wpuld be rendered more accessible by this optnlng.

Other lots which have been considered are Jn the block bounded bv Milvia. Oen- A The corner -of Addison and Oxford streets has also been offered to Postmaster Morrill, in view of the fact that the posti office -was' formerly located at Center and Oxford at the entrance to the University grounds. REALTY MARKET. Business has- been quiet the realtj1 tlealers this week.

A revival trade is looked for in the near future. Renting continues to be good, as there is a steady demand by those "who have been attracted here- by the summer session of the tniversity, but are not seek- ing 'permanent locations. Many families are spending -their summer vacations here away from the heat of the interior valley, while engaged in study' at fthe summer cession. i BUILDING IS STEADY.

According to the latest statistics almost one-half of the dwellings In Vienna consist of one room. Everybody lives In fiats, and 43 per cent of the population are crowded into these single-room apartments, Aul 30,000 of them are Inhabited by' six or more persons. It Is not surprising, therefore, that there is an appallingly high mortality rate. In the crowded tenement districts 296 deaths per 10.000 inhabitants is recorded compared with 123 in the wealthier quarters. The late death rate from tuberculosis In the working-class districts is 70 per 10,000.

The Austrian I Parliament has now taken steps to provide decent dwellings for the poor at cheaper rates. For this purpose an appropriation of $250,000 a year for ten years will be placed at the disposal of local authorities and building societies.
