that reclaimed Everglades muck is
perhaps the most productive soil in
Florida, or that the Everglades consti-

Injustice to Land Owners.

These people bought lands which
they reasonably expected were TO be
drained by the state. The landowners
are willing 10 pay their share of the
cost of drainage. and should pay such
share. but they should not be asked or
expected to pay taxes on their lands
Until they are drained. or at least until
they are i'll process of being drained
and The state has shown proper dis
position to carry out the trust condi-
tons Of its contract with the Federal
government regarding the lands.
Under present laws. people whose
lands are located ten. twenty or a
hundred mites from sections Which
may hope to receive amy early beno lit
from drainage works ROW in progress,
are asked 20 pay taxes the same as
those whose lands abut on the canals

Financing Boarding Houses.

ing houses. principally for the young
women being brought here by Uncle

each other can live together and
thereby make their stay in the District
more pleasant than If they secured

ing, to be used in leasing these houses
and meeting the initial expenses. Mrs
Hopkins believes that all the houses
will be self-supporting after the first
month and will repay the money loaned
in launching them.
TO my mind" said the chairman of
the womans committee. the question
of feeding the clerks who are coming
here to work for the government is
really more serious than the housing
problem, because few of the persons
who are taking in roomers are board
ing them, which LEAVES these clerks to
depend on lunchrooms for all their
meals. The houses my committee is
opening are providing board for their oc-
cupantS."

Central Registration Bureau
Needed to Help Solve

MANY ROOMS AVAILABLE

There are scores of available rooms
in the District for the government
cIers and other war workers coming
here daily, but a central registration
office. where the room and the roomer
can be brought together, is necessary.
This was the consensus of opinion
last night Of members Of the District
Council of Defense. who have endeav-
ored to meet the housing problem, but
who now feel that the government
should lend assistance, financial or
otherwise, for the establishment of
such a bureau.
Chamber of Commerce Tried Plan.
When the influx of additional gov
eminent clerks began few months ago
the Chamber of Commerce undertook
to operate a room registration service,
but a few days ago abandoned its
efforts. informing the District Coun-
Gil of Defense that the task was assum-
ing such proportions as to occupy all
the time of the chambers office force.
Until central room registration Of
ffce can be secured from the govern
ment the District council will list
available quarters at its office, Room
504, District building. Offers should be
in writing, giving the name, location,
number that can be accommodated,
kind of light, heat and other details.
Lists at Y. NJ C. A. and Y. w. C. A.
The council, because of its other
work, is not attempting to meet the
persons seeking rooms. but is placing
the lists of quarters which it receives
with the Y. NJ. c. A.. 1926 G street. and
the y. w. c. A.. 18th and G streets.
where roomseekers should go.
the local division Of the woman's com
neittee of the Council of National De-
Tense. which is also busy seeking quar-
tiers for government clerks, agreed last
night that there are scores of avail
able rooms in the city and the housing
situation will be greately relieved il
the room and the roomer can be
brought together.
