In Washington the we1I-to-do as well
as the poor are to suffer for lack of
light and air.
Scores of dwellings, already built and
half score of apartments now IN
course of construction have been plan
ned with only half allowances or less
fer breathing lace and sunlight.
This has gone on since the apart
ment house fever first seized Washing
ton real estate operators. But 1t is
now to be stopped il { committee of
representative and influential men can
obtain the cooperation of the District
Commissioners.
Nathaniel Wilson, John JOY Edison,
Leon E. Dessez, Frank II. Hackett, and
Joseph C. Hornblower-well known as
lawyers, bankers. architects, and invest
ors-comprise the committee. They
were chosen from a large body of bust
ness men who appealed to the Commis-
SionerS several months ago for such
amendments to the building regulations
as would safeguard tenants from lack
of light and air. They have now sub
mitted draft of regulations which they
regard as sufficient for this purpose.
Building Inspector Ashford, to whom
this draft was referred. finds fault with
it on the ground that it does not go far
enough. He would make sure OF light
and air for all buildings. not dwellings
only, and he has submitted to Engineer
Commissioner Biddle certain alterations
of the committees draft, designed to
give it that broad scope.

The matter now rests with the Com

That the tenements of the poor re

readers of The Times to know that high

almost no regard to the health of their

light are concerned.
In one particular instance this condi-
ton is extreme 1t is that of an apart

Serious Among the Poor.
While not so surprising. the condi-
tons which prevail among new houses
for the poor are regarded by the COM
nittee as more serious still In streets
near the Arsenal are three rows of new
two-story apartment houses built under
the most favorable auspices. The living
rooms on the first floors are aired and
lit by shafts. In no case are these
shafts more than the minimum re
quired by the present law-ten square
feet That operates to provide mar

area than the top of the ordinary
clothesbasket.
In some of these rooms. or in rooms
even less ventilated, it Is said from five
to nine persons sleep. Such conditions.

LEGISLATORS MAY
LOSE THEIR PASSES
HORNETS NEST is STIRRED UP
AMONG GEORGIANS AND LEGlS-
LATURE WILL PROBABLY PUT
MESSAGE THROUGH.

Atlanta, Ca, January 22-(Special.)-It
looks as If the Georgia politician is going
to have to do without his railroad pass
before very long.
The agitation of the question of the
political influence exercised by corpora
tions promises to have this effect, even
If there is no other result for some time
to come.
w. w. Osborne of Savannah, solicitor
general and politician of some strength
and force, has undertaken the task of
stirring up the hornets nest about the
ears of the corporations, because, it is
said, two of the corporation political rep
resentatives refused to stand by him in
his effort to make w. S. West of VAL
dosta president OF the state Senate this
year.
"They will find that it was the most
expensive piece of political treachery ever
played in Georgia." Mr.. Osborne is
quoted as saying.
As a result of the failure to back West
on the part of these corporation repre-
sentatives, who possess some influence in
party circles. and their united action in
boosting Walter Steed of Taylor county
for the Senate presidency, Mr.. Osborne
is giving a series of letters to the press
every week in which he is charging that
offices and legislation are largely con-
trolled by these representatives of the
corporations, "mercenaries," as he calls
them, who have sold their political in
fuence."
The fact that the counter charge has
been made that Mr. Osborne was one
of the foremost of the 'mercenaries,"
and that he, as much as any others.
sought to direct legislation, has had no
effect upon his plans, and he promises
numerous disclosures more startling than
any he has yet made
AS a result oe all this discussion the
talk is quietly going around the state
that the free pass and the frank will
probably have to CO. that is, so far as
public officials of the state are con-
cerned.
The belief Is generally expressed at the
state capitol that the coming legislature,
which meets in June, will send to the
Governor an anti-pass law, and that he
will sign 1t.
Just what state officials such a law
will be made to include is a question of
much interest In the discussion. The
Legislature last summer took away free
passes from the judges of the supreme
and superior courts of the state and at
the same time gave each an increase of
$1,000 in salary. This is the first anti
pass law that has gone through the
Georgia Legislature.
Several measures on this line have been
considered, and two sessions ago the Hall
bill to prevent every public official in
the state, including members Of the Leg
islature. from accepting free passes or
franks, came very near passing.
Now that the hornets nest has been
poked the belief is public sentiment Will
come pretty near demanding 1t this year
