Mr. Shannon sees mighty WASH
.nEton IN the not distant future.
The war is bringing about q CEN
.raliZation Of Federal activities in
Washington that were lever dreamed
or" sal dthe hustlinE real estate man.
Just think OF what will happen IL the
Government takes over control Of the
railroads OF the country, which is a
step TO Government ownership. That
means the bringing to Washington Of
thousands Of railroad experts and GI-
rectors whosc homes are now else
where.
Every new law passed by Congress
centraliZes in this city government
activities that have heretofore focused
elsewhere and adds hundreds Of new
people.
Before the war ends the young
clerks coming here who feel that they
are to be permanent will send for
their parents and younger brothers
and sisters. They will buy homes.
Other clerks will marry and buy
homes. The increased population now
is Just a forcFuHRer Of what is com
Ing.
ITO find employment for members
Of clerks families who cannot obtain
Government work Washington must
begin to encourage the establishment
here OF light manufacturing. 1t is

shannon NIakes Appeal.

Herbert T. shannon, vice president
of the Real Estate Brokers Associa.
tion. makes an appeal TO business men
Of the city to cooperate in every pos
sible way with the central committee
OF the brokers.
"The burden OF caring for new
corners in Washington Is upon every
body" said Mr.. Shannon today. IF
II becomes necessary for the Govern
meHt to house its workers it would
necessarily follow that the Govern
ment would also feed them, causing
loss of business to restaurants. The
Government might even go as far
as II did in the Panama canal zone
and establish commissaries from
which its employees might buy.
This is a big problem for all OF US.
To the present troubles must be add
ed those to come July ! when the
alley elimination law becomes ehec-
tive, and 10000 colored people have
to look around FOR new homes. This
law ought to be deferred for many
.easous.
1T must be remembered by every
class OF our people that the new ar
rivals in Washington are likely 10
become permanent residents, certain
~ a big proposition Of them. We must
all do our share to see that these peo-
pie are comfortably and properly
taken care Of. It is a patriotic duty
that does not belong TO any organiza-
ton"
