MERCHANTS PROTEST
UNCLEAN PREMISES
Association Urges That All Unoc-
cupied Store Property Be Kept
in Proper Condition.

Washington merchants have taken a
stand in favor Of dignified appearance
Of fronts of unoccupied stores and
against the practice of short-time leas-
ing of such fronts to itinerant mer-
chants. The committee on retail trade
Of the Chamber Of Commerce has
adopted the following resolution:
Resolved, That the owners Of prop
erty on Washington's major business
streets are urged to refuse to permit
the temporary or short-time leasing of
the front part Of unoccupied stores to
itinerant merchants, novelty statesmen
and irresponsible dealers Of similar type,
because such undertakings detract from
the dignity and good appearance of
such streets and result generally in un-
satisfactory service to the customer, and
that such owners be urged further to
give special attention to the appear
ance Of unoccupied premises by paint
ing the window glass and by keeping
them neat, clean and attractive"
A special committee Is to be appointed
by Chairman Cans of the committee to
confer with William NJ Steuart, director
Of the census, to seek the most effective
means for local business houses to CO.
operate with the Census Bureau In the
taking of the census of distribution
next month. The matter was consid-
cred in response to a communication
from President Butterworth of the
Chamber of Commerce Of the United
States.
The committee Endorsed the recent
efforts of the Typothetae of Washing
ton and the Allied Printing Trades
Council to "sell" Washington as a ner-
camille center, by means of booklets
and advertising material. Attention was
called to Washington's rapidly develop
ing importance as the quality mercan-

fact in every way.
