While tomorrow is moving day"
under the law, not many families in
this city appear to be changing their
residence, as few vans or wagons with
household goods are seen on the
streets. one reason for this is the
scarcity Of houses. WilmingtOnians
have deemed il better, where possible,
TO remain in the houses they have
rented, than fly to others they know
not OF. Scores OF families have moved
the past two or three months.
There are many unOccupied houses at
Union Gardens. built by the United
states Shipping Board, but the rental
OF sil a week asked for them is Keep
ing them vacant. This rental is con-
sidered by many hOuseholders as ex-
cessive for a 1--WE or six room dwelling.
Numerous families are doubled up
in Wilmington-that is, two or three
families are occupying the same house.
Several families already have moved
TO Pennsgrove, where cottages can be
rented for $40 a month upward.
