RENTING OUTRAGE
Representative Levy Opposed
to U. S. Paying 100000
Yearly for Space.

Declaring that the governments pay
ment of $4,000 for the use of buildings
to house various branches of the execu-
tive departments is outrageous. Repre-
sentative Jefferson Levy of New York
city yesterday afternoon fired the opening
gun in a fight which he proposes to wage
against the rent bill of the government
in this city. Mr.. Levy, during the con-
sideration of the agricultural appropria-
ton bill, called attention. to the fact that
s25,O75 was asked for to cover the rent
of a building on F street occupied by the
forestry bureau. He said that this prop
erty was assessed by the District govern
ment at only s13S.OOO. The upper floors
are rented to the government and the
street floor is rented to local merchants
come from the building s2S.675.
Suppose We say the value of the prop
erty is $780, Co.," said Mr.. Levy. is not
$25,O75 an enormous rent for the govern
ment to pay for it? ! have discovered
that the government pays something like
$500, GOO a year in rent for buildings in
the city of Washington. That is out
rageous.'
Mr.. Levy moved to cut the appropria-
ton down to $4,000. and in this he was
backed by Representative John J. Fitz-
gerald of New York. chairman of the
appropriations committee. The amend
ment was knocked out on a point of or
der Mr.. Levy said later that he was
going to harp on this question until the
evil is cured.
