Even though the end had been ex-

the trial was almost more than the

The sight of Edgar's little play

D. c. ALLEY HOMES
SHOWING INCREASE
First Figures Indicate More
People Are Living in In
.terdicted Places.

There are more persons living in
alleys in Washington now than there
were three years ago. according to
unofficial figures obtained today from
reports made to Commissioner Oyster
by police captains.
These reports shows a total of
9.5S2 alley Inhabitants, as compared
with only 9.0I7, when the last police
census was taken in November, 1919.
These families. the reports show.
are living in 3,246 houses. While this
would be an average Of three to a
dwelling, the statistics gathered by
the police captains state that in many
cases there are as many as ten in
one dwelling.
These totals were compiled hur-
riedly at the District building today
from the sheets sent in by each pre-
cinct. The official figures when
compiled, may vary slightly, 1t was
said.
Commissioner Oyster asked MAI.
Sullivan to take this new count or
alley occupants for the Information
or the rnmissioners, who are
charged by Congress with the duty
OF closing all alley houses on Juno 1
Of this year
1t had been thought by many that
the number OF alley inhabitants was
on the decline. that wartime pros
perity had enabled some of the
families in those houses to move out
on front streets.
If the unofficial totals presented
herewith are correct 1t makes the task
or enforcing the alley closing law
even more perplexinE than the Com
missioners had regarded it a few days
ago.
Rev. ]. Milton Waldron. a leader in
the movement to improve the con-
ditions of alley dwellers, contends
that the number of persons residing
in these by-ways is much larger even
than the figures now before Commits
sioner Oyster.
The ninth precinct heads the list
with 1.S12 persons living in 202 alley
houses. The record, by precincts. fol-
lows:

itants.
