Many apartments are reportedly unoccupied in Paris

Mr. de Tastes, municipal councilor, has just asked the police prefect to have his services draw up an inventory of the apartments currently vacant in Paris.
According to the information already in the possession of the councilor of the Necker district, many apartments are reportedly unoccupied, due to the really excessive price demanded for the rental and others no less numerous because the owners hide them to restrict the offers and thus push up the rents.
If the information requested by Mr. de Tastes confirms that which he already has, he reserves the right to propose all necessary measures to stop this speculation.
