The letter being sent to the owner
who has vacant property is:
The District council OF defense has
furnished the housing committee with
the information that your house. No.
- -, is vacant There is rea-
son for this. This reason we would
like to ascertain. In our opinion. this
must be because of the fact that the
house is not in condition to rent.
If 1t was it would be rented We.
therefore, have to request of you that
you see your real estate broker at once
and ask him why your house is not
rented. and at the same time, request
that he make an inspection of the
premises and advise you just what con-
repairs to be made, we believe he can
suggest way to you by which these
repairs might be made and be paid for
from the rents which you will receive
from the house after it is rented.
I'VE are requesting this of you because
of the fact that there is a larger de-
mand for houses in the District at this
time than we can supply and we feel 1t
is the duty of every owner to put his
house in good renting condition, thereby
giving him the opportunity of deriving
an income from same, and at the same
time, doing a patriotic duty by seeing
that the property he owns is put in
condition to house some of the govern
ment employees, who are coming to
Washington, and who are being greatly
fnconvenienced at this time because of
lack OF quarters. The Commission
ers OF the District, through the District
council of defense. have made an ur-

eHort possible to see that every va
cant house in the District is put in
such condition that it can be occupied
and that this be done without delay. 1t
is, therefore, our duty to make an ur-
gent appeal to you that you give this
matter your immediate attention and
the committee will, and 1 am sure the
Commissioners also will, consider that
you are doing patriotic duty and a
duty you owe to the District when you
comply with the above request"

WAR FAILS TO HIT
REAL ESTATE MART

while the real estate business has
been slow for the broker since this
country entered the world war. real e5-
tate itself nevertheless has been con-
stantly improving. This may sound
paradoxical, but il is the case. and the
farsighted real estate broker sees in
store a bright outlook in the near
future" William d. Bloodgood. prom
inent realty broker. states in the New
York Herald.
The slowing down of his business is
due largely to the fact that the price
OF building materials has been increas-
ing, and during the early months of
the increase the operator has hesitated
TO purchase land and go ahead with
operations that were needed and con-
templated until such time as building
materials reached a staple plane. This
means an accumulation of those prof.
ects which sooner or later must be
built regardless of cost, and period Of
activity must set in

would be well II the boat lines could

livered within a radius of twenty-five
miles of the water terminals of the
barge canals. When you consider the
territory through which the canal and
Its large tributaries extend this would
mean that such an arrangement would
cover an enormous area and would be
of tremendous assistance in relieving

NOW HEATING BUILDINGS
BY SPRINKLER SYSTEMS

The increasing use of automatic
sprinklers in modern commercial in
dustrial buildings has led to the devel-
opment of the sprinkler system for
heating purposes. says the National
Fire Protection Association quarterly.
As is well known. the sprinkler system
consists in general of series of pipes
which cover uniformly the ceiling of
all floors

the system can be heated and circulated

IL in ordinary use will melt at the tenn
perature necessary for the water to be
used for heating purposes. This melt
ing of the sprinkler head is prevented
by means of a C-connection through
which the hot water cannot circulate.
In practice it has been found that a
bend in the horizontal nipple carrying
at the end the upright sprinkler head
will prevent the head from melting.
The connections of the hot-water
heating system with the sprinkler pip
ing are exceedingly simple and need
not change the sprinkler piping in any
way. The hot-water heater may be

BUILDERS ARRANGING
FOR ANNUAL CONVENTION

The builders over the entire country
are becoming very much interested in
the National Association of Builders
Exchanges, and many local associations
of builders exchanges are arranging to
attend the seventh annual convention in
Pittsburgh In February, 1918.
Reports of progress are being received
from many of the local associations.
The president has asked for an in
crease of 1000 members before the con-
vention in February, and at this time the
possibility of attainment is exceedingly
promising.
One question that particularly inter
ests builders. and which will be a topic
for much discussion at the convention,
will be the ACCESSIBILITY Of strenuous
efforts on the part of the National As
ISOLATION of Builders Exchanges to in
augurate a campaign for the contin-
uance of the erection of buildings dur
ing the period of the war on the same
plane as existed prior to the Inaugural
ton of war conditions.

rather unusual, and often we find the
whimsical reference to the house with
