Home Problem of Members.

One of q congresman's little troubles
is the home problem, getting a house
to live in. Washington Is the highest
priced city in the country. Property
and rents are high. If a man is there
alone he can live at a hotel. If he has
a family he must have a house or an
apartment. The hotels are high priced.
The houses and flats are out of sight.
What members pay for houses Of
course depends upon what they get
and want to pay. Several members
pay $500 a year rent, and quite a
number pay from $1,000 to $1,000. OF
course they do not live on their
salaries. They get something from
back home. The members who try
to live on their salaries, or nearly so,
pay from $50 to $3.50 a month for
a furnished house. And you don't
get as much In Washington for $500
Il month as you can get in Colorado
cities for $50.
Within the moderate prices, houses
are very hard to get and usually un-
desirable. Most residence property in
Washington is built in rows-houses
in solid blocks like store buildings.
They are usually II to 20 feet wide,
three stories high with three rooms on
each floor, windows only in front and
back. a front yard 10 or II feet deep.
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1922-09-02

Some mems minds are like old
pumps-you have to pour a pitcher of
water in to prime before they get you
and begin to produce.
