That the governments policy Of
encouraging msrrisge among the
lsborers on the canal zone is proving
extensive, is shown by data compiled
BY the Quartermaster's Department OF

bachelor labor Is much cheaper than
that of married people on the Isthmus
and that the tendency 10 marry is grow
inc so fast on the zoLe that there are
not enough married quarters to supply
the demand. Figures show that, as-
suming a six years. service, a msrrled
employee may be ssid to represent an
expenditure Of So, 600 and q single en-
ployee $3.50. This is because OF the
greater coat Of quarters for married en-
ployees Including furniture and the
cost of tael, light, water, care otgrouncs
and isnitor service, al OF which are
furnished by the government, The de-
maud for married quarters isso great thai
mspy bachelors quarters ara being oon'
