Charleston, S. c., April 20, 1918
Especially has come to the no
tice of this office that many people
fail to report suspicious and disloyal
acts or manifestations of sympathy
for the enemy, because of uncertain
ty as to the proper official to ap-
proach.
It is very important that the Gov
ernment should have the assistance
of all citizens in detecting enemy
propaganda or suspiciouA activities
Of individuals, and you will do a
service in notifying all people that
any communication addressed to "In-
tllligence OAf1cer, Headquarters
Southeastern Department, Charles
ton, S. c., will receive attention and
be transmitted to The proper official
of the Government for investigation.
The names of informants will not be
divulged and there need be no fear,
on the part Of anybody, of getting
into trouble in case suspicious prove
to be unfounded.
Informants should indicate the ma
ture and source of their information,
as well as the time and place.

patriotic citizens who do not want
be placed in the class of the dispised
and disloyal profiteers, and the gen.
tlemen who are at the head of affairs
in this city want their property-own-
ing fellow citizens to adjust their
rentals strictly in accord with what
is fair and equitable.
Councilmen present at the Monday
night meeting were: Mayor M. D..
Shannon, Mr.. R. A. Squires, Mr.. C..
E. Jones, Mr.. NJ. E. Norman, Mr.. v.
C. Clements and Secretary A. B..
O'Brien. A number of petitions for
building and grocery permits Were
refused because the council consi-
ders it unwise to further spread the
establishments of this character out
side the recognized trade and retail
districts. The applications of Mr..
John Ahrens and Mr.. C. J. Theriot
to rent space in the City Market
building was granted. A license was
granted to Mr.. Guy Groir, in accor-
dance with the city ordinance, to
carrying on the business of plumbing
in this city. An application was
granted to C. Catroni to build build
ing for restaurant purpose on Rail
road Avenue near the Government
Shipyard. The reading of the min
utes and current bills was disposed OF
in routine order.

Mayor Shannon Scores Property
Put A Tax Upon the Men VIII
Nation in Ship-Yards

81 would consider it exceedingly
timely and a matter of great necesi-
ty for this council to go on record as
condemning the unfair initiation Of
rents in this city," said Mayor M. D.
Shannon to the councilmen of Nor
gan Cityat their Monday night meet
ing. "Not only do l consider the ex-
horbitant rental being demanded by
some landlords as directly opposed
to the bests interests of our country
at war, but it is becoming more evil
dent every day that this practise is
jeopardizing the opportunity and the
natural right of this city to expand.
That such raising of rents keep work
men away from the city who are abb
solutely necessary to the vital gov
ernment work being done here and,
furthermore, the public should also
condemn practise which is work
ing harm to the country's war pro-
gram by putting an unjust tax upon
the men who are engaged in such
work"
That the attitude of the Mayor
was according to the belief of every
councilman present was evidenced
by the immediate unanimous endor-
sement of his statements and the pas
sing of a resolution to embody his
remarks on the records. From the
discussion ensuing on the sub
ject Of unfair rents it may be
forecastted that some definite pre-
ventative measure will be adopted
unless certain property owners who
have demanded rentals out Of all pro-
portion to their investment volunta-
rily make adjustments and disconti-

dations in order to carry on the ship
building being done in this commu-
nifty. Rentals based on assessed va
luation was suggested as one possible
method of overcoming initiation. It
was also mentioned that the govern
ment has made announcements to
the effect that all housing property
which is necessary for shipworkers
may be regulated by government
al procedure. Such an announce
ment has already been sent out from
the government to the newspapers
and it presages action which will be
drastic unless every community where
shipbuilding is being done takes the
necessary steps to regulate rents and
keep them within reasonable limits.
The relation Of increased taxes,
and general increase in material, in
surance, ETC., to rentals was consi-
dered by the council in their remarks
on rentals and it was readily agreed
that every house owner is entitled to
an increase in rents to meet the in
crease in costs. But all the addition
al increase in costs does not justify
the abnormal advance in rentals
made by some owners according to
specific instances mentioned at the
meeting. It was said that some owners
have advanced property to twice,
and even three times its former fl
gure. 100 percent advance was the
least that several had made, and
from so to Is percent increase is
being demanded by many. The fact
that shipyard workers themselves had
set the pace for the landlords by bid
ding against each other for certain
houses did not, in the minds Of the
council, justify the landlords taking
