HOUSING CONDITIONS.
Important Meeting of Committee Held
Yesterday

ASSSSAooJ"
An important meeting of "the committee
on the improvement Of housing conditions
was held in the general office of the Asso-
ciated Charities, 81 G street northwest
yesterday afternoon at $3.50 o'clock. There
were present S. w. Woodward, chairman
Gen. Geo. NJ. Sternberg, DR.. Geo. M. Kober,
B. T. Janney, Mrs. Julia Bodfsh, Messrs.
F. L. S.ddons, Geo. s. Wilson, Chas. E.
Foster, John F Hayford Thos. w. Smith,
s r. Bond, Geo. A. King, Chas. F. Weller,
Wallace Hatch
After routine business was disposed Of
the committee held an informal discussion
on the housing situation of Washington and
regarding the prospects for sanitary legis-
lation at this session of Congress. For
about three years this committee of citizens
has waged an active campaign for the i'm
provement of sanitary and housing condi-
lions in the national capital. Its work has
been in cooperation with the work done
along this line by the District Commission
ers. Two preceding bills which the COM
mittee assisted the Commissioners in pre-
pairing were rejected on constitutional lines.
The third bill, which provides merely for
the condemnation of houses which are
menace to health, has already passed the
House and for some time has been awaiting
favorable action in the Senate. This bill,
1t is claimed, meets the peculiar needs of
the District so well that those who have
carefully studied the matter see no reason
why it should not become law immedi-
ately. The committee realizes that it can
not bring about legislation but that a
proper public sentiment back of the move
ment for sanitary homes for the least for
tunate people of the city will have great
weight in the final action which must soon
be taken.
The committee is greatly encouraged in
its work by the attitude of President RooSe-
welt. Results, they say, come slowly, but
every effort will be made to remove the
breeding grounds of vice and disease, to
lower the death rate from preventable dis
eases and to offset in every practicable way
the bad conditions of poorer neighborhoods.
