BIG REDUCTION IN
ROOM RENT RATES

Reports coming into the office of
the United States Housing Corpora
ton at 1920 II street indicate that
room rents are being considerably re-
duced. The reduction ranges from 20
per cent to so per cent of the prices
charged during the war.
Out of 200 rooms reported to the
bureau last week as being available
for occupancy. 16O had been previous
ly listed. OF these l6O that had been
listed with the bureau during the war
forty-one were announced by the
landladies as for rent at prices con-
siderably lower than charged during
the duration OF the war. The reduC-
ton was marked, a number Of rooms
being listed for nearly half the price
formerly charged.
There has been a tendency toward
a reduction in prices charged ever
since the signing of the armistice. and
during the past few weeks there has
been a considerable increase in the
number of landladies reducing their
rents.
The reason assigned by those In
charge of the housing bureau is that.
while war workers were content dur
ing the war to put up with almost
anything in the nature OF sleeping &c
commodations, they are now demand
ing some of the comforts Of home.

That Washington will share in the
coming era of building. is the conf
dent belief of Mr.. Garland. Through
out the trying days of the war; said
Mr.. Garland, "the real estate men OF
Washington have maintained fair
prices and values. There has been
no imitation. Real estate here is
worth the price it is being sold for.
The integrity OF the real estate men
here is recognized and will be re-
warded. Washington must expand, II
must make room for it's tremendous

A Question Answered.

Real Estate Editor, Washington Times:
On July l, 1918. I signed a lease for
three-room apartment, agreeing to pay $40
per month for rent. An agent OF the
owner called each month for the rent
The agent called, usually, several DAYS
after the first day Of the month. when the
rent was due Last month he did not
call for ten days and at the time OF his
raised to S35 per month. He explained
that, under the terms of the lease, | was

One OF the most interesting prob
lens that is engaging the attention
of lawyers, landlords, and tenants
alike. concerns itself with the life of
the Salisbury act. When does the
salisbury act die" This question
will undoubtedly claim the attention
Of the higher courts for decision at
an early date.
The act itself specifies that 1t shall
remain in existence until a treaty of
peace shall have been definitely con-
GUIDED between the United States and
The imperial German government, I'M
less in the meantime otherwise pro-
yided by Congress"
There is no longer any Imperial

comes impossible for the United
States to conclude II definite treaty
with any such entity. Captain Pey-
ser. OF the Housing Bureau. and 9TH
ers in authority, are confident that
no legislation will be enacted by
Congress prol0nEinE the life of the
mt Eut this seems quite unneces-
sary. 1t may be necessary for Con
grcss to repeal the law by direct
Congressional action.
Word "ImperInI- the StIcker.
It is highly probable that the ques-
ton that will be presented to the
higher courts for solution, will be,
whether or not a treaty with the
present representatives of the Ger
man people constitutes n treaty Of
peace with the "imperial German gov
eminent" as those words are used in
the Salisbury act.
In the event that the courts should
hold that such n treaty would not
render the act thereafter ineffective,
the question would come up whether
tenant would then be a tenant at
sufferance or a tenant by the terms
Of the lease. The question of notice
would be chiefly in issue. In the
former instance. a notice Of seven
days would be sufficient. while under
the latter construction the landlord
would be compelled to give thirty
days notice to move before an action
Car possession could be enforced.
