Washington built in the light of the wisdom of the ages
His dream that encompaSSed the future greatness of

BUILDING NEEDS
ISSIX BILLIONS

It will take approximately $780,
100000 expended in buildings in
Maine, New Hampshire. Vermont,
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island and New
York to make up the building de-
hciency incident TO the war. This
is in addition to the normal, current
requirements of 1919.
The Information and Education
Service OF the United States Depart
ment of Labor has issued the results
Of a study Of building needs in these
six States. Taking the building per-
mits issued in 1914. 1915 and 1916 to
obtain an Average Of the normal
years requirements and comparing
this average with the permits actual
ly issued during the war years Of
1917 and 1918. the service establishes
the actual reduction in buildings in
twenty-one cities.
To obtain an approximation OF the
building deficiency in the several
States it is assumed that the build
ing deficiency in the State is in the
same ratio to those in the cities, as
the property valuations Of the State
are to those OF the cities.
Nine cities form the basis for the
figures in New York State and from
the actual decreases in building ac-
tivities in these il is estimated that
New York's building deficiencies for
1917 and 1918 are not less than $685.
OOO, 900. Massachusetts shows up
S2I4,OOO, 900 short, the basis for the
computation being actual falling on
in the building permits in seven i'm
portant cities, Of which Boston IS
one. Maine. New Hampshire and
Rhode Island show $S,OOO,OOO or
more, and Vermonts building de-
fciency is $4,960.00O.

Real Estate Editor. Washington Times:
I rent an apartment over a store build
ing from the owner OF the store. There is
no room in my apartment for the storing
Of boxes or food supplies. When I signed
the lease the landlord told me I could use
a small room in the basement Of the build
ing for this purpose. Recently he en-
deavored to raise my rent and l refused 20
paw the increase. He has not attempted
to force me to move but has locked the cell
lar room and refuses me further peTmis-
sion 10 use II. In view Of his agreement.
low me to use this room? I conduct a
boarding house and the storeroom is sbsO-
MRS. J. X. Mex
Unless your lease specifically pro-
vides in writing that you shall have
the use of the basement room there
is no way for you to enforce your
verbal agreement with the landlord.
Real Estate Editor. Washington Times:
The lease hold on my apartment will
expire within two weeks. The landlord
refuses to renew IL unless I pay a higher
rental. I have practically decided 70
move, but can you tell me whether there
is any way TO retain possession OF the
apartment at the present rental?
F. n. J.
The Salisbury act provides that all
leases shall continue as long as rent
is paid at the agreed price and the
other reasonable terms Of the lease
are abided by. You can continue in
possession OF your apartment by pay
ing your present rent promptly until
this act expires.

Real Estate Editor, Washington Times:
I hold a lease on my apartment which
specifically provides that the landlord shall
supply me with heat and hot water" The
landlord has failed TO comply satisfa ctOrily
with this stipulation and frequently no one
comes near the furnace in the building for
days at a time. Have l any legal means
OF compelling him TO comply with this
provision, and may I retain the rent until
he does comply with it?
MRS. H. II. G.
You can legally enforce this pro-
vision of your lease. If you refuse
payment of your rent suit will Un-
doubtedly be brought against you by
the landlord When this is done you
can set mp a counteT-claim against
him, and the court will adjust your
differences. The landlord will be re-
qUiGed to furnish heat and hot water
according to the terms of the lease,
or you will be allowed a reduction
on your rent for the days you are
without this service.

of other fraternaI societies has shown that
extra assessments are unsatisfactory. They
add to the expense Of operation and they leave
members uncertain as to how often they may
be called upon to contribute. 1t is impossible
to pay benefit assessments three, six twelve
months in advance, as many prefer to do.
Extra assessments not only interfere with
building up society, but they actually tend
to drive the membership away. Oficers of
the Modern Woodmen properly hesitate to
adopt this plan except as last expedient, for
they know that it will be disastrous.
That is the reason the special head camp,
made up of delegates to the 1917 head camp,
has been called in Chicago March 25L This
representative body will be asked to provide
some other way out
And there is another way There are
number of them, in fact. The society is strong
It still leads in it's field and its members are
the best class of risks that any organization
of its kind can boast Of If common sense pre-
vails-if the special head camp acts decisively
and with only the ultimate welfare OF the
iety in view, the crisis can and will be passed
and the organization will be put upon basis
that will assure its future prosperity. If the
situation is not met frankly and makeshift and
inadequate expedients are applied. or if the
membership fails to extend whole hearted sup
port the early decline of the organizations
prestige is inevitable.
The head officers, taking a lesson from the
past, have been careful to offer no remedy as
their own. They insist, and properly. that
whatever measures are taken come from the
members. They have let it be known, how
ever, that immediate increase of at least
so per cent in present rates will be necessary
to meet the existing emergency. From other
sources has been suggested that the patriotic
assessment voted at the last head camp to
take care of the war losses, be continued till
the next head camp. There is doubt, however,
that this would be sufficient. There is some
talk. also of adopting an adequate rate to
apply hereafter to all new members. This, it
is argued would put the society in the way of
making steady improvement in financial con-
dition from year to year.
Rock Island Woodmen have little more at
stake than any others. It is up to them to do
a little more than others to insure the per-
petuity of their society. They should realize
that the deficit which threatens is not
that can be met by trimming down operating
expenses or by any other surface expedient.
ornething radical must be done and it must
done now.
