HOUSING CONDITIONS
ANNUAL MEETING OF THE COM
MITTEE ON IMPROVEMENTS.

The annual meeting Of the committee on
the improvement of housing conditions,
held late yesterday afternoon was attended
by Mr.. F. L. Siddons, acting chairman;
Mrs H. r. F. Macfarland, Mr.. Alan o.
Clephane, Mr.. Charles F. Weller Mr.. Chas.
E. Foster, Mr.. J. B. T. Upper, Mr. Charles
A. King Mr.. George S. Wilson, Mr.. John
Joy Edison, Mr.. Thomas Bradley and Mr..
Wallace Hatch. Mr.. S. w. Woodward,
Bishop Satterlee, Mr. S. r. Bond and Gen.
John w. Foster sent letters expressing re-
greet because of their inability to attend.
The report of the treasurer. Mr.. Clephane,
showed that the committee had expended
during the year $1.GO212, leaving a slight
balance to form the nucleus tor the money
to be raised during the present season..
The COMMITTEE secretary, Wallace
Hatch, submitted report which was acted
upon, section by section, and after discus
sion, accepted a whole He pointed out
that the achievements of last season along
the line of housing improvements, may
have two opposite results. On the one hand.
it was stated. it may lead to the opinion
that no occasion for activity eXists-every
thing tending in the right direction.
or the other hand, to the more practical
conclusion, that as good laws now exist in
certain directions it is but proper to fol-
low w these laws with the same vigor
shown in securing their passage, in order
to make them effective and to worn for
good laws in other directions equally in
need of the attention of this committee.
Recommendations by Secretary.
The secretary recommended that the
committee search cut and report to the
special commission the condemnation
of insanitary dwellings all houses which
should properly be condemned under the
law, keeping crd catalogue of the
same and report from time to time action
taken as the result of these reports; that
similar reports be made to the building in
spector concerning unsafe buildings: that
as rapidly as developments make possible
alleys most in need of being opened be re-
ported.
That special committee be appointed
to confer with the District Commissioners
to consider the advisability of cooperating
with the Commissioners in urging upon
Congress the necessity of appointing a
sufficient number of inspectors for the
health and building departments to require
the enforcement of existing laws;
That the same special committee inquire
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-10-19

of the Commissioners whether or not
the available money for the condemnation
of insanitary and unsafe dwellings, and for
the opening up of alleys is sufficient to do
the work which should be done during the
present year;
That special delegates be appointed to
confer with the commission now studying
the building laws of the city to consider
the advisability of still further modifying
the building regulations having reference to
the amount of space on the lot allowable
for building purposes;
That the secretary be authorized to con-
fer with the builders of the city, inquiring
Are they now building or have they erect
ed in the past two years houses or apart
ments in the city rentable for about IS
to SIS per month? The location of these
and rents received. and the reasons, If
any, why a larger number Of such houses
have not been erected.
Mr. Hatch reported that the District Com
missioners are very much interested in all
work being done for the improvement of
housing conditions.
Members of the committee discussed the
alleged inadequacy of the law for the
opening of alleys to touch the interior
blind pockets which are worse than the
interior alley itself. The committee voted
to refer this matter to the special subcom-
mittee on the opening of alleys for fur
Their investigation.
The part of the secretary report which
called for the most discussion concerned
the course of action the committee should
pursue in securing an additional number OF
homes for the very poor of the city.
An effort is to be made during the COM
ing month, it is stated, to induce property
owners to commence the erection of houses
to meet the demands in question

BAIT TO SWINDLE GIRLS.

A dispatch from New York says: Lured
by the promise of being given good parts

one hundred girls fell easy victims to the
scheme of a swindler who masquerading
under an assumed name-that of the star
of the sketch--had no difficulty in persuad

that amount the promise that they
would be permitted to play two parts.
At the house in which he operated, in
West 31st street, nothing was known OF
his present whereabouts, he decamped
after having fieeced many of the young
women as he could without imperiling his
safety. The police. are looking for him.
His victims threaten to do violence IL they
meet him, for in many cases he took their
last dollar.
In papers an. advertisement appeared
which offered good opportunities for
young women who wished to go upon the
stage. So attractively was the advertise
ment worded that about fifty young women
visited the place the following day.
Each was seen individually. The man
introduced himself as Roland West and
explained that he was to play a weeks
engagement at Pastors Theater this week,
but, owing to sudden illness. 1T was nee
essary for him to fill two positions in his
company. He made a great show of ques-
tioning each girl as to her ability, and
then, pretending to be satisfied, gave her
a contract to sign.
He gave reference Keith, Proctor,
Morris and other prominent names in the
vaudeville world. The girls asked at the.
offices indicated to the standing of Ro-
land West and were informed that he was
a reputable actor and that he was about
to begin his engagement at Pastors.
Each of the young women was cautioned
to say nothing to the others about having
been engaged and in this way the man
was able to sign contracts with all When
the inquiries became so numerous that sus-
picion was aroused the inquirers were re-
ferred to the office of Louis Wesley, in the
st. James building. under whose manage
ment West is playing. He was at once
aware that a deception had been practiced
On Monday, when West opened at Pas

thought, engaged AS soon as they caught

AMENDMENT TO REGULATION.
Action Taken Today Regarding Auto
mobile Garages

Application was recently made to Com
missioner West for decision as to
whether the police regulation regarding the
construction of automobile garages on bust
ness or residence streets would prevent the
erection of an establishment Of that char
acter in an alley in one of the squares near
18th and Irving streets. Some doubt on the
subject existing. and the policy of the Com
missioners being to allow permits for auto
mobile stables in residence sections only
when the consent of the citizens in the
neighborhood had been obtained, Commits
sioner West today proposed an amendment
to the police regulations which provides
that no permit shall be issued until such
consent has been obtained.
The provision of the building regulations
regarding boilers and machine shops will
be applied ito automobile establishments
situated in alleys, and the consent of two
thirds of the residents and property own
ers within ninety feet of the proposed es-
adjustment must be obtained before the
permit will be issued.

MUST FURNISH BONDS.
Change in Custom Toward Contractors
for Local Work.

In the future contractors submitting bids
for District work will be permitted to fur
nish surety bonds n guarantee of good
faith, instead of only cash and certified
checks, as has been the custom in the past.
An order to this effect was issued by the
Commissioners yesterday.
This change was adopted the result of
complaints from a number of local con-
tractors. eThey contended that because OF
the requirement of cash certified checks
to accompany their proposals. many local
contractors and merchants have refrained
from submitting proposals for District
work
The question of accepting surety bonds
was referred to Auditor Garrison of the
District and he reported to the Commits
sioners that the latter are accepted through
out the country, we'll as by the federal
government. 1t was upon this report that
the Commissioners based their approval of
the practice.
