MILLIONS FROM RENTS,
London Landlords Reap Vast Har-

London landlords often reap sew
eral millions of dollars each year
in rents. Conditions across the
water were compared with those in
this country in a current real estate
journal
London literally grew around farms,
which were never sold nor divided,
the article points out. Thus the
Duke of Westminster owns 400 acres
of land in the heart of London, all
covered with buildings. and this prop
erty brings him approximately $15,-
900. 900 year in rents.
The Duke of Bedford owns $50
acres and the Duke of Norfolk and
the Earl of Cadogan each own 200
acres. Half a dozen individuals own
$50 acres each. and twice that num-
Der own A hundred. Rent rolls Of
two and three, and even five million
dollars, are common enough in the
English city, with at least six of
them running as high as S10.000.000.

CITIZENS TO TALK

Southeast Association Will
| Have Special Program at

| Members of the Southeast Wash
I4ngton Citizens Association, at a
HSeting held last night in Tyler
school, voted to designate the May
injecting as civic Improvement night
Chairmen of the committees on
streets, telephones. street railways
and other public utilities will be ex-
pected to submit reports covering
the various topics of interest. and ali
members will be expected to take
part in questions relating TO i'm
provement of the southeast section.
Allan Davis presented resolution
provide funds for the construction
Of q swimming pool and shelter house
on the Virginia avenue Fairgrounds.
There is no swimming pool in the
southeast section, he stated. and one
is sadly needed. Not only viii such
q pool provide aquatic sports for the
children, he said. but it will give
them an opportunity to EARN to
swim.
Mr.. Davis thinks every child should
be instructed how to swim. He
realizes. however, that some children
OF tender years cannot go to the
river and places where there are dan
gerous holes. Construction of such
a pool. he urged. may have a tendency
to put a stop to drownings in the
river. His resolution was adopted.
The association went on record as
being unalterably opposed to increase
in street car fare and telephone rates.
and a resolution, offered by W. ID.
Culleen, providing for the selection
of resident of Southeast Washing
ton to serve on the board of educa-
tion. received unanimous Endorsement.

Strike ms Alternative.
The strike as an alternative to re-
fusal of demands for a seven-and-one-

employers have offered an increase Of

wages from Ga to so cents per hour,
