Of inflated rentals and high building
costs.
Before the war. it was possible for
a cabinet officer to rent for his family
a house or an apartment catering to
the best patronage, and of sufficient
proportions to permit Of lavish enter
tanning. In those days 1t was es-
sential that the home of the public
official be in an exclusive residential
section. and that 1t contain a ball
room and other facilities for social
activity. Today one considers him
self fortunate il he can obtain shelter
figure: and as for bathrooms. they do
not make them any more.
Find Their Rents Increased.
Apartments Of one room and bath
in the newer buildings rent for from
SIS to $3.50 a month. An apartment
of f1ve rooms and bath brings any
where from $500 to $500 a month. ac-
cording to location Of the building. loca-
ton in the apartment house and the
availability Of hotel service. The aver
spend at least half his yearly salary on
rent, it is declared.
Many of them are returning to the
capital from their home towns to find
their rentals increased SO and 100 per
cent. Several have been served with
notices to vacate within thirty days
upon refusal to meet the increase.
nna of ho
senators and members Of Congress
who reside in fashionable apartment
house on 10th street have conferred
together with a view to deciding what
can be done to bring their rentals
back within reach. A number have
taken up their troubles with the Dis
trict Rent Commission. In almost every
case the landlord has held the upper
hand. either through presenting in
disputable evidence as to increased
costs of operation or through carrying
out eviction proceedings in the Dis
trict courts. The rent commission
has been rendered practically useless
until its authority to act. questioned
by the District courts. can be deter
mined by the United States Supreme
Court.
Relief Legislation Expected.
1t is considered certain that some
sort of legislation will be proposed at
the coming session of Congress. either
to take the place of the Ball act. or to
make it effective. That may help the
situation materially. legislators be-
lieve. although real estate men unite
lin saying that this step will only tend
to make matters worse.
Builders will stanchly oppose any
measures providing for the govern
ment taking a hand in the construc-
tion of homes. it is understood. The
latest suggestion along this line is
that Congress appropriate funds for
the erection of home in Washington
for the Vice President. Other propo-
sitions having in view federal con-
struction of homes are said to be in
course of preparation.
Regardless of what Congress even
tuaIly may do toward relieving the
housing and rental situation in the
capital, the quadrennial hustle attending
the removal Of former officials families
and the entrance Of additional office and
home seekers is sure to inaugurate an
event as important to those concerned
as that affecting Mr.. Harding.
He, at least, knows where he 10

A civil service court Of appeals, 1t
was stated at the headquarters OF
the National Federation of Federal

upon Congress as the only answer
and the only means Of obtaining a
fair hearing" in such cases as that
of S. L. Blassingham, law clerk OF

been charged by direction of Post
master General Burleson with mis-
statement of facts in that he assisted
women in the mailbag repair shop in
presenting to the Reclassification

Such a court is strongly recon-
mended in the report of the Reclassi-
