QUARTERS FOR REUNION.
A Portion of the Veterans Must 0c-
cupy Tents.
ENORMOUS RENTS DEMANDED.

Washington. D. c., Sept. 15.-Despite
committee and of the national officers
of the grand army, it is probable that
at least portion of the veterans at the
coming encampment will have to be
contented under canvass.
Applications have been received for
accommodations for $500 men in free
quarters. OF this number about $500
can be accommodated in the govern
ment printing office, but only three
floors will be completed in time instead
of seven floors, as had originally been
contemplated. The three outside build
ings will provide quarters for 2,4oo
more, making the total quarters al
ready arranged for 300. This leaves
$500 yet to be accommodated.
Quartermaster General Burrows OF
the G. \. R. has carefully inspected
every vacant building in the city that
could be made use Of He finds not
only that the rents asked, in most in
SIduCe>S dTc pTOblDlllNc. oclHS oCNCid
times the normal rent for month,
but that tine sanitary arrangements are
such that the health department would
not permit large number of men to
be quartered in the buildings.
General burrows called at the war
department to consult with the quar-
termaster's department regarding the
furnishing of army tents to accommo-
date the remaining $500 veterans.
These tents will be made use of only as
Il last resort, but in view of the pres
ent situation there seems to be no other
way out of the difficulty.
The national executive committee
of the G. A. K. was given S12, 900 for
the care of all persons to whom it was
to give such quarters. A large portion
of that sum must be spent on equip
ment, such as cots and water coolers.
The remainder must be expendedton
a few large halls to the greatest pos
sible advantage.
