Free Rentals Banned.

An action has just been taken by the
Washington Real Estate Board to end
a practice which has grown up In this
District during recent years and has
been subject to severe criticism as a
means of inducing apartment house
tenancy on an uneconomical basis
The board has unanimously adopted a
resolution designed TO prevent owners
of apartment houses from dispensing
with rent for stated periods in order
to secure occupants. A report from the
property management division Of the
board declares that the plan was be
coming an evil and increasing in prac-
tice," and that it was misleading, dis
eliminating and unjust to other ten
ants who did not participate in it."
This method of securing tenants in
apartment houses, particularly new
ones. has been in vogue for several
years. It has been charged that this
procedure was adopted TO promote sales
of these properties on the strength Of
the large percentage Of occupation.
Whether that was the motive, or the
practice. it has resulted in an unequal
scale of rents, has brought about much
shifting Of tenants, and has tended TO
unstabilize conditions.
The question has arisen OF late
whether Washington is overbuilt. New
apartments are being constructed con-
stantly. Even at this time Of compare
tive temporary depression in the real
estate field there is a continuing &C
tivity in this line. It is not desirable
that there should be a large surplus
of accommodations, but If so there
should be corresponding lowering OF
rentals This is not in evidence at
present and the conclusion is fair one
that the saturation point has not been
passed and that the new provisions are
approximately keeping pace with the
growth of population.
The action OF the Real Estate Board
is sound and commendable. There
should be no false stimulation OF ten
ancy through the offering OF premiums
in the form Of RENTED rentals. The
business Of selling housing accommoda-
tons should be conducted on the came
basis as that Of selling merchandise,
and in banning this practice the Real
Estate Board has moved 10 put that
business on sounder basis than here

signs at Florida avenue and u street

Eighteenth street. but fifty yards fur
Their on. at u street.
Another point at which similar tao
tics could be employed with benefit te
motorists is the oblique intersection
of r street. Massachusetts avenue anG
Sheridan Circle. There is absolutely
no need for signal at this point be.
cause the streams of traffic do not in
tcrscct. They merely flow into the same
artery. tremendously and without fric.
ton. A decided improvement at this
point. however. would be to make the
short section of r street between the
circle and its conveyance with Mas
SachuSettS avenue lone way" because
those who turn left from Massachu-
sets avenue into r street are drivinc
hcad-on into traffic which has proceed
ed around Sheridan Circle.
In carrying out the policy Of Kidding
the city Of unnecessary Instructions tc
traffic. the director and his assistants
could with benefit make a thorough
survey Of all new stop signs erected tc
determine the degree of their useful
ness. Motorists Of Washington have
looked with favor upon the creation OF
faSt-traf1ic streets. but the promiscu-
Gus use Of stop signs has met with
little enthusiasm. 1t would seem, there
fore. that the erection of signals on
streets other than boulevard and ar
tcrial highways should be a matter for
intensive study on the part of traffic
officials TO make certain that their in
stallation at particular point out
weighs the benefit of smooth. free
flowing traffic. If this is the policy
that has been inaugurated with the
removal of the signs at Florida avenue
and u street, then Washingtonians may
confidently expect the disappearance Of
signs at many other points.
