Interesting facts were brought TO
light today concerning the agree
ment reached between officials Of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
and President Robert Watson, Of
the United States Housing Cor
poration, for ! 100000 ground
rent IN connection with property
Of the railroad upon which Gov
eminent hotels stand.
Explained by Moran.
According to 9. II. Moran. real
estate agent Tor the railroad, officials
for that company have made great
concessions In an effort to protect
the interests of the women hotel
guests. A matter OF fact, he
states, when It was found that the
additional sum asked by the rail-
road Tor rent OF the property was
to be taxed against the women gov-
eminent workers, the railroad Of
ficials cut their first offer to the
government In half.
Moran states that the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad first offered to
lease the property to the government
for an annual rental OF 100000, plus
the taxes, which had already been
assessed.
Unlikely to Buy.
When It was learned that the
Housing Corporation Moran stated,
INTENDED to reimburse itself for any
outlay of rent by passing the ex-
pense on to the employees Of the
government occupying the hotels, the
railroad company agreed to cut In
half what IL believed to be q fair and
reasonable rental"
In defining the railroads attitude
In the matter, Moran pointed out
that ten years ago the Govern.
ment instituted condemnation PRO-
ceedings to acquire the property
and q condemnation commission
awarded the railroad company 81.
i 020, 762. This award carried interest
at the rate of per cent until paid.
Continuing Moran stated that re.
Gently the Attorney General OK,
pressed to the Senate as his opinion
that the Government had abandoned
Ito intention to acquire the land.
Held Only for Year.
This brought about the negotia,
tons just completed for q ground
rental on the property.
Moran stated that under the
agreement reached between the
railroad company and President
Watson OF the Housing Corpora.
ton. the annual rent for the land
was approximately $4,000 plus the
taxes.
The agreement provides, Moran
says. that the Government shall
occupy the property only until
February /. 1924.
Women guests Of the government
hotels probably will pay the, addi.
tional $3.50 g month rent made
necessary by the $4,000 annual
ground rent agreement reached by
President Robert Watson OF the
United States Housing CORPORATION
and Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Of
ficials, but they will do 30 under
protest.
This decision was reached at a
meeting OF the Plaza council and a
special committee of four, headed
by Miss Imogene Van Dalen, of
the Internal Revenue Bureau.
At a meeting Of the council. of
which Miss Martha M. Taylor is the
head. and the committee, in q. W.
building last night, this action was
practically decided upon. Resident
guests will be advised to nav the
increase, IL this policy is carried out,
The new rent Arrangement goes
into effect next Friday.
