CHEAP AT THE PRICE

4 grand Christmas spree on the
40, 900, 900 gallons OF whiskey now
in Government bonded warehouses
was a suggestion reported yesterday
to the House Ways and Means Com
mittee. Chairman Joseph w. Ford
ney OF the commute wanted to know
il this would not be the cheapest
way to handle the problem from the
standpoint of the taxpayers.
Prohibition Commissioner John +.
Kramer was on the stand when the
suggestion was made. He had been
advocating the concentration or
the whiskey. which is now stored in
nearly 400 warehouses, into few
warehouses in central points, with
a view to cutting down the cost OF
guarding the liquor. This concen-
tration also was advocated by
Wayne Is. Wheeler, general counsel
OF the Anti-Saloon League.
1.-THE idea of letting this whiskey
60 out for grand Christmas
spree has already been suggested
Mr. Kramer told Chairman Ford
ney. THE coming of Christmas
and New Year has resulted in con-
siderable pressure, but we have not
been able to sec our way to do

James Sharp. chairman of the Build
ing Committee, that prospects are
bright for resumption within about
ninety days OF negotiations for cree
ton OF the proposed Sl,00OO0O club
house on G. street northwest between
Thirteenth and Fourteenth.
About a year ago the club pur-
chased a large site on the south side
of G. street. across from Epiphany
Protestant Episcopal Church. The
sit was cleared of buildings prepar-
atory to erecting Il new home. but
last spring 1t was decided 10 post
ponc operations temporarily because
OF high building costs and other UNI
favorable economic conditions.
The building committee believes
that the money market gradually -
becoming easier, that prices Of build
ing materials are beginning to rcCcde
slightly. and that labor is becoming
more plentiful. These factors Iead
the committee to the conclusion that
il will be possible to resume nego-
tiations carly next year. January Is
seems TO have been arbitrarily set in
the minds Of most business men as
the date on which the DEFINITE stab
ilization OF the market will begin TO
make itself clearly manifest.
