Water loo attorney links rents to high living costs
Waterloo and rent costs are blamed for the high cost of living by attorney J. W. Arbuckle. He argues that soaring rents driven by saloons and moving picture houses have inflated prices for groceries and goods, keeping downtown properties vacant until rents drop. He cites a rise from about $65 to $200–$300 in five years and warns tenants pass lease costs to consumers.
