GEORGES INCOME IS GROWING
King of England Said to Be Making
Money Through His Realty
Investments.
From England comes a report that
King George V has increased his in
come this year by several million dol
lars through his realty investments. It
is said the greater part of that in
crease comes from the king’s Regent
street holdings—and thereby hangs a
tale.
Many years ago, as the New York
Herald reports the circumstances. Re
gent street was developed with a row
of stucco houses which became the
laugh of London because of their odd
appearance. The wits of the town
poked so much fun at the houses that
no one would occupy them.
Finally the rents were lowered to
such a point that people decided to
pocket their pride along with the sav
ing In rent and the buildings were
tenanted soon for an average rental
o f about $100 a year.
Those who accepted the king’s offer
had to sign ninety-nine-year leases.
The inequity of the contract became
obvious as Regent street grew in im
portance as a business thoroughfare,
but none of the successive rulers of
England ever tried to force their ten
ants to pay higher rents. Bad busi
ness though It was undoubtedly, the
rulers realized that law was para
mount and neither sovereign nor sub
ject could circumscribe its provisions.
Now the leases are expiring and
King George is reaping the benefit of
renewals at current market values.
Under the new leases tenants will pay
aa much a week as they did a year.
Introduction of a hardy dwarf lemon
from China may result in extending
the zone in which lemons can be com
mercially cultivated in this country,
officials of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture here believe. The
promising oriental citrus fruit was
sent to this country in 1908 by Frank
N. Meyer, explorer for the bureau of
plant industry. It was considered at
that time that it might prove of value
for house culture in the United
States. The new lemon has, however,
outgrown the earlier expectations.
Tests in various parts of the country
have shown that this Chinese dwarf
is not only valuable as a house plant,
but that it is much hardier than the
commercial varieties of lemons now
grown. Its fruit is also of excellent
quality.— Science Service.
