U. S. LAX IN HOUSING,
SAYS REALTY BROKERS
District Association Asserts Govern
ment Hasn't Done Its Share in
Caring for Employees.

That the government has not done its
full part in connection with looking
after the housing of its employees in
Washington was the view expressed by
several members Of the Real Estate
Brokers Association at a meeting yes
terday afternoon of the executive COM
mittee.
It was pointed out that with the gov
ernment being thrust into this gigantic
war and with building operations in
the District at a standstill because OF
the lack Of transportation facilities to
get material here. the government
ought to do something to relieve the
situation.
The brokers are in favor Of the pass
age OF the bill introduced in Congress
by Representative ]. P. Maher of the
House committee on labor for $780,
100000 to be used to house United
States employees They say the govern
ment ought to immediately erect office
buildings for the various departments,
which have been overcrowded and have
occupied residential quarters, which
would release the residential places It
is also favored that places OF abode be
furnished for the clerks, as the city is
now already overcrowded. and there
will be no place for the thousands OF

MANY WATER PIPES WERE
/ FROZEN THE PAST WEEK
Look out for the freeze.

Look out for the freeze.
The freezing weather is now on. Be
careful and don't let your plumbing
burst. II you don't know what to do
ask u.s.
Copies of the foregoing notice have
been sent to the tenants of at least
one real estate dealer. The particular
dealer had received reports of more
than three hundred broken pipes the
past week.
Conditions were much more serious
this week than heretofore" said the
dealer, because of the shortage Of coal.
Many Of my tenants were provided with
fuel until a few days ago, and when
this last drop in the temperature came
they were without the proper amount
to keep their fires going and prevent
the freezing OF pipes.
Many OF the tenants had coal
enough to keep their latrobes going,
but not enough to keep up fires in the
kitchens. where heat usually is neces-
sary to protect pipes"
He said many owners of property
fall to realize why such freezes should
occur. 1t does seem hard for an owner
to have to pay a plumbers bill Of $40
for freeze on property that rents for
$l6 or $50 month, he admitted, but
most Of the freezes, he added, result
from the shortage Of the coal supply,
and there is no use complaining.

Little Danger From Ice Jam.

Rivermen who have watched heavy
ice leave the river. following heavy
freezes. for many years, say there is
really little danger of any serious trou-
BILE here from the ice coming down
from above Great Falls. The rush Of
water at the falls. following the melt
ing of the SHOWS in the mountains will
be SO strong that there is little oppor-
tunity for the ice to jam at the falls.
When the ice comes over the falls it is
broken up into small pieces, and unless
the ice below this city holds firm and
causes jam at Geisboro, no trouble is
anticipated by those who should know.
II the thaw continues steamboat man
ayers will start plans for getting boats
out for river points and the service will
be resumed at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
