energy, leaned more and more on their credit managers, who
preached and practiced the strange doctrine, that it were bet

of 33 per cent, than to show a loss of 1 per cent in collections.
As a consequence, St. Louis has witnessed according to a re
cent report, beholding 5,000 houses wrecked within the past
two years. Being vacant and without any prospect of finding
tenants to fill them, the owners elected to demolish them
rather than pay taxes on them.
