HOUSING AND RENT.
ISSUES TO remain
D. C. win Face Problems:1W
Years After War, Mr.. !.
Peyser Declares.
FOR NEW LEGISLATION

Washington will have a housing and
rent problem to deal with for prob
ably two years after the war. in the
opinion Of Capt. julius I. Peyser. chief
of the housing and health division OF
the War Department. <
Capt. Peyser expressed this belief
today in urging the necessity for rent
legislation for the District to take the
place of the Salisbury resolution,
which dies automatically when a
treaty Of peace is signed with Ger
many. 1t was made clear. however,
that an ar1nistice would not affect the
status of the Salisbury resolution.
Offices to Be Continued.
officials OF the housing division of
the War Department pointed out that
government bureaus, such as the war
risk insurance. the war trade board
and the food and. fuel administrations.
cannot be abolished for some tins
after peace is declared. which means
that Washington may retain an IN
flated population for months after hos
tilities cease.
"The period Of readjustment In
Washington may last for two years"
Sid Capt. Peyser. land believe there
should be some legislation to govern
rents during that time"
1t was learned that g. few complaints
already have been brought to the at
tention of the housing division of
new leases at higher rents. reminding
the tenants that the salisbury law.
may soon lease to exist and that 1t
will be to their, advantage. to have
new lease so as to insure themselves
against being required to move.
Would Abrogate Law.
Under the Salisbury resolution
landlord is prevented from raising
rent unless the tenant consents, and
also from evictfng tenant unless
there is q bona fide sale Of the house
and the new purchaser necessarily re-
quires the promises for his own use.
If peace should be concluded with
Germany before any other rent legis-
lation is passed. the Salisbury resolu-
ton goes out of existence and a
tenant who refuses to pay an In
creased rent can be evicted under the
old procedure of a thirty-day notice
and a hearing in Municipal Court.
It was pointed out that II the city's
ent point of imitation for an extended
period after the war the demand for
homes also would continue. and with
out the Salisbury resolution to regu-
late evictions the result would be a
procession of families moving from
one house to another.
Persons interested in the housing
problem outside Of the War Depart
ment called attention to the fact,
however, that buildings now being
erected at Union station plaza at 23d
and B streets northwest and in the
vicinity of the navy yard will be
completed within the next. six months
and will go far toward providing for
the governments war population.
