W|[[PROBE COST
Of D. c. BUILDING
Housing Committee to Seek
Prices for Material in
Other Cities.

One of the facts to be determined by
the housing committee to be appointed
by the Commissioners will be whether
building materials cost mora in. Wash
ingcon than IN other cities, Commis-
sioner Rudolph said to-day.
. The Commissioner said he hoped the
data gathered by the Department Of
Commerce, and which will be available
to the committee. will show the COM
parative cost of brick, lumber and SINH
lar commodities here and in other
places. ~ = ~t
The main object Of the committee.
Mr. Rudolph saidi will be-. to devise
every means possible aof stimulating
home building by the united effort OF all
groups entering into building activities.
The chairman Of the board OF Com
missioners expressed the belief that
the committee probably would number
fifteen or eighteen and would include
representatives of every factor In build
ing from the man who swings a pick
to the man who loans the money"
VIII Determlne Need. 3,
At the outset the committee will have
to determine how many families there
are to be housed and to what extent ex-
isting facilities are inadequate.
commissioner Ekuuoiph ooSo hot oS-
lieve q police census Is necessary to
fix the present population. One OBJ
lection to this suggestion is that the
police are too busy to drop the pur-
suit OF lawbreakers for the time 1t
would take to,record the population.
Because of the rapid growth of the
city and the fact that the existing
personnel of the force is inadequate,
the police census has been waived for
several years.
The Commissioners today received
from the Monday Evening Club set
Of resolutions, supporting the conten-
ton of the city heads that the law
providing for the closing of all alley
dwellings, in Washington this year
should be postponed.
Would Extend Alley Law.
The Commissioners have recon-
mended to Congress that the allev
law be continued for two years and
the club approves OF this course. The
club states in part as follows:
THE situation due to alley dwell :
ings in the District is so serious and
the difficulty of providing properly
for their Inhabitants when these
dwellings are vacated Is SO great
that the Commissioners are urged to
appoint at once a special commission
OF formulating a constructive pro-
gram and of submitting 1t to the
Commissioners well In advance Of the
time when the law vacating alley
dwellings shall go into effect"
Unless Congress acts to extend the
law, it will go into effect one year
from the issuance of the proclama-
ton OF peace with Germany. which
will be November IA. of this year.

Final arguments in connection with
the. divorce probe being held in this
citE. will begin, at 10 o'clock Wed4
nesday morning in the corporation
courtroom before tho special commit
tee of seven OF the bar association
engaged in the task of probing the
alleged divorce evil here.
This was determined upon shortly
before 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
when it was announced that all oral
testimony was in. Attorney John s.
Barbour of Fairfax. representing
Judge Robinson Moncure. announced
that he would like to have an op-
portunity of addressing the committee
on behalf OF Judge Moncure, where
upon Attorney Frank Stuart also an
nounced that he would like to ad-
dress the committee. 1t was decided
by the committee to let both speak
Wednesday morning.
1t is expected that just as soon as
the arguments are completed. which
probably will be early that afternoon,
begin drafting its report. The f1nd-
ings Of the committee will be sub
mitted to the members of the Alex
andrie Bar Association for ratifica-
ton.
Attorney Frank Stuart yesterday
afternoon was on the stand in re-
buttal of testimony given by Judge
Moncure. Judge Moncure was ques-
toned once or twice on certain points.
Haywood Duner and r. F. Downham
also testified.
Mr. Stuart declared there has been
steady stream of divorce cases COM
ing in and he declared that 1t seemed
to be the idea of the Judge to foster
and encourage them.
Gardner L. Boothe asked Attorney
Stuart il his only specific charge is
the large number OF divorces granted.
Mr.. Stuart replied that according to
the figures submitted by the state
records there should be only sixty
divorces here q year. whereas 807
divorces were granted here in twenty
one months.
The attention of Mr.. Stuart was di-
rected to the fact that Alexandria is
close to Washington and that there
is but one ground for divorce in
Washington-adulte this prob
ably accounted for the large number
of divorces granted here. most Of the
persons obtaining them coming from
Washington. :.
