advantage of this condition and
everything else, possible to advance

promising things that strike the

The speech of P. A. Baker, general

Matthew E. O'Brien. who said he was
speaking particularly for w. A.
Simpson, daigyman.
At a conscience with the FEEDER
alton of Citizens Associations COM
mittee of the Maryland and Virginia
producers indicated that they would
accept a wholesale price of "A cents
per gallon from the local dairymen
this winter. Using this figure as a
basis. the New York price, according
to Mr.: o'Brien. would be ss cents, and
would permit the retailing of milk
at 16 cents per quart
1t is generally believed that If the
accent per gallon price of the near
by shippers prevails the retail cost
will be Is cents per quart.
Mr.. O'Brien said the New York offer
will not be taken advantage of if the
Maryland and Virginia producers will
accept 20 cents a gallon, instead OF

District. said he. are following three
lines of attack to obtain the vote. The
first is to obtain the passage of a con-
sdtutional amendment, granting to
residents OF Washington the right to
vote and to elect representatives to
the lower branch of Congress. The
second IL by granting the District
statehood and the third Is by having
Congress cede the District back to
Maryland.
Separate statehood, Senator Metze-
rott said, now is the most feasible
plan, according to some workers for
suffrage in the District with whom
he has been in conference. Maryland,
he believes, SHOULD have some say in
the matter should Congress decide to
grant statehood to the District, as a
provision Of the Constitution, he
states. provides that when a territory
originally carved from a state is
granted the right of statehood that
state shall ratify the act.

COMPEL LANDLORDS
TO MAKE REPAIRS
D. c. Rent Board Adopts New
Forms of Leases for Houses
and Apartments.

standard forms of leases for apart
ments and for houses in the District of
Columbia, throwing on the landlord en-
tire responsibility for repairs and up
keep of premises and safeguarding the
rights of tenants today were pre-
scribed and promulgated by the Dis
trict rent commission. in accordance
with authority given it under the Ball
rent act
Inc commission announced that all
owners and other persons renting dwell
ing houses or apartments are notified
and required to employ and use these
forms of lease in renting such proper-
ties.
The two forms are virtually the same
as regards the privileges extended the
landlord and the tenant in renting dwell
iinss. The standard form was modelled
a1ter leases already I'm use in this city,
with such additions or changes as the
experience of the commissioners in ad-
Justlng rental conditions has convinced
them are necessary
Inc principal divergence appears to
De the provision that all repairs to
apartments or houses must be borne
by the lessor, or owner, except where
unreasonable damage is done by the
tenants. The clauses in this connec-
ton follow.
How New Clauses Read.
I'm case the said apartment shall at
any time during the said term, be
partially destroyed or damaged by
| fire, storm, or unavoidable accident
the lessor shall. and will, forthwith.
as soon as conveniently may be there
after, proceed to repair and put the
same in as good condition as the said
apartment was in before such acct
Cd hn 1oF no nor
! caused by the willful neglect of the
lessee"
1t is further provided that the
lessor shall. at his own cost and ex-
pense, put and keep said apartment
in good, substantial and tenantable
repair, during the whole of the term
hereby demised."
How the standards of the commits
sion will be received by local land
lords. owners and real estate men is
problematical. 1t is considered like
ly that opponents of the Ball law and
the rent commission will ignore the
forms. as they have ignored other
decisions of the commission, under
the rulings of the District courts
holding the rent commission act un-
constitutional
Based on Ball Rent Act.
Section III of the Ball act. under
which today's action was taken, fol-
lows:
The commission shall prescribe
standard forms of leases and other
contracts for the use or occupancy o:
any rental property, hotel or apart
ment, and shall require their use by
the owner thereof. Every such lease
or contract entered into after
the commission has prescribed and
promulgated a form for the tenancy
provided by such lease or contract
shall be deemed to accord with such
STANDARD form; and any such lease or

Columbia shall be interpreted. APP
