PLANNING TOHOVE Cost of October Changes Placed at Staggering Fig- ure—Few Cuts in Rent. BY. J. C. ROYLE. Spectal Dispatch to The Star NEW YORK, September 25.—More than 16,000.000 Americans will move | in the ‘next week. They will not| be able to fold up their tents like the Arabs, and silently steal away. But residents of 280 cities and vil: lages in 14 States can sleep an hour later than usual before moving, since communities observing daylight sav- ing time will return tv standard time September 28. Truck men In the majority of com- munities are heavily -booked with or ders in advance for noving house- hold goods, but there is mnot likely to be serious congestion, since many will move a day or 8o before or a day or so after October 1. Costa of moving this Fall wiil vary according to localities, but the bill for the coun- try as a whole s conservatively estimated at $60,000.000 for the actual transporting of goods.

Reports from real estate firms from a dozen different sections of the coun- | try recelved today by telegraph indi- | cate that the general level of rents are slightly lower than at this time last year. This trend is not unl versal, however, and does not apply to mome types of dwellings. Rents in new bulldings and apartment houses are belng malntained at a high level since there is a general desire to move into up-to-date structures Suburban properties are reported to be renting exceedingly well, although | publicly the level of prices is naturally not so high in the commuting districts as in the Spring. Approximately 500,000 citizens who contemplate moving are holding off until October 1 in the hupe that landlords will drop prices of their dwellings remalning unfilled. Realtors, however, are extremely Joath to do this since it is found dif ficult to advance prices once the: have been lowered. Some prospective tenants hope to secure practical re duction through the granting of rent free periods. Changes In Time Sunday.
