HIGH rent Charge
PROVED GROUNDLESS
District Council of Defense Finds
Rumor Is False.

Reports Of nothing abnormal In the
renting situation of Washington, has
resulted from the call for informa-
ton which was sent out by the Dis
trict Council of Defense, developed
at the meeting OF the council yester-
day at the District Building, with s.
r. Woodward, assistant director of
the council, presiding.
Reports from the committee to
which this question was detailed
showed that only a few Washington
ians have sent in reports of high
rents in the city and that nothing
to justify positive action was brought
to the attention Of the committee.
About three weeks ago, the council.
as a result of some agitation in the
city regarding the high rent situation,
sent out requests that any one living
in the District who had received a
notice of increase in rent notify the
council. After giving the notice
some weeks to circulate, the council
decided to ascertain the result of the
requests and at the meeting yester-
day asked for a report on the mat ser.
1t developed that the high rents
had not affected the citizens OF WASH
lngton to such an extent as to cause
any amount Of protests. A committee
appointed by the council will however
see a number of realty owners in the
city to investigate conditions pertain
ing to the renting problem.
