A SINGULAR STATEMENT.
Al the meeting of the Washington Cham

IndraUs chairman of The committee on
fro;ght and transportation, made the singular
.sssrtion that it costs from 10 10 20 per cent.
more 10 live IN Alexandra than in Washing

ment without producing facts Or hgares 70

sented at the meeting; the Chairman VI INC
committee was not eross-quesuoheu. ~ Is

"For the benefit Of the real estate
men present, who are members Oh the

the employees of Potomac yards had
.tated to the committee that II cost from
10 to rs per cent more 10 live In Alexsn'
drls than 1t did 10 Washington; that
six room apartment cost more in Alex
andria than the same apartment would
cost 10 Washington.
I stated that this evidence, which
was given by fully half a dozen en-
ployes OF Potomac yards, was rather
surprising, bat that l gave 1t to the
chamber as 1t was given to ne. !
have the names of the employees OF
Potomac yards who made these state
ments and cau assure you that they
we're bona fde statements. The state
ment was made that groceries and
drugs, etc., were higher In Alexandra
than In Washington, and the rent Of
small apartments, or small houses, wss
higher" l did not express this as any
opinion, nor the opinion of the commit
