Alexandria Hospital Building on.
Wolfe Street to be Used as Tenn
porary Boarding House for Steel
Company Employees.
The Alexandria hospital building

The Alexandria hospital building
on Wolfe street has been leased fol
wear, the rent for same paid IL
advance, and the building will be
shortly turned over to parties who
will open it as, temporary board
ing house for employees Of the
Washington Steel and Ordnance
Company.
The lease was drawn up late yes
terday afternoon and signed today
for one year. 1t provides that the
house shall be vacated by next week
Saturday, September 22d, and as
soon as that is done the necessary
changes will be made to provide
for the accommodation Of the men
who are expected to be arriving in
the city from time to time for en-
ployment at the steel plant.
Who the name of the gentleman
is that will manage the house is not
given out as yet, but it lis expected
that he will arrive in Alexandria
within a few days.
The house will be used simply as
a temporary boarding house for the
men on their arrival in the city, at
fording them a place to stay until
they can obtain permanent boarding
houses or secure homes for THEM
families, as may be necessary. Re-
cent experiences in locating the
men who have already come to Alex
andria seems to have rendered this
action necessary, and IS soon as the
plan was decided upon quick action
was secured. The price to be paid
for the rent is said to be liberal
one on account of the fact that the
property is owned by the hospital
trustees and is an Alexandria insti-
tuition.
