Cost of Living Amid Growth and Beef Price Rise
The article argues that living costs rose mainly from natural causes as population expands, towns grow, and demand increases. It notes higher rents in better dwellings, scarcity of vacancies in Indianapolis, and a 10 to 12 percent rent rise for higher grades, with flats and large homes in demand and central locations favored. Beef prices have climbed 3 to 5 cents per pound versus last year, driving up meat costs and reducing overall meat trade by about one third.
