Congress will not be able to find

before the august Boundary Commission.
Lawyers for the Department of Justice are
preparing learned briefs, replete with history
and the days of Lord Baltimore, and their
engineers are drawing maps showing just where
the Federal Government thinks the line should
co. But Virginians are busy. too, insisting that
the Old Dominion has right to jurisdiction
over areas adjoining the water that have grown
recently into valuable properties.
The laws confusion is saving grace to these
houseboaters. They are listening to the argu-
ments and sitting tight. They laugh at Vir-
ginas attempt to collect revenue and they
pay no heed to curt letters from lawyers, an
nouncing that their clients demand that the
boats get out and get out quickly. There are
threats of legal processes.
Well illustrative of this muddle-as beclouded
as the waters of the Potomac that swirl about
their boat bottoms-is the status of the house
boaters. Take Claude Warwick. who finds
himself in peculiar position. He purchased
for $40 bill bit of scow bottom at Fort
Humphreys Va, he relates, and had this towed
up to the basin just upstream of washington

under a District license and points to the
piece of pink paper upon the wall. Recently.
he says. Virginia official drove up and wanted
to have him take out a license from the State
to sell eats and drinks there. He refused. The
Virginia authority said he would see about it
and Mr. warwick invited him to invoke the
law-but he laughs, that was three weeks ago.
and he's heard nothing from it-and doesn't
expect to-
There came letter the other day from
firm of Clarendon, Va, attorneys, advising Mr..
Warwick to vacate. He did nothing about it,
but shows it to visitors as an interesting SOU

the District. They're watching me to see Il

my houseboat and I sell to them in the

He tells his customers that after they have
purchased, they can drink bottle of pop or
MUNICH q hamburger half in Virginia, half in
the District, by putting one foot above the
high-water mark and the other on his plank
that leads up to his craft.
But all this legal wrang1e about property
lines and police jurisdiction isn't worrying
j. H. Pride bit, for he's piled his business Of
selling bait to fisherfolk for some 80 years now.
He says he has been in the minnow business
good share of the time right near where Hoover
Field now exists, on the brink of Boundary
Channel. He has seen the wilderness trans~
formed into parkway, with the Mount Vernon
Memorial Highway running through it, and the
airport come and with it the roaring planes.
Mr.. Pride is philosophical about the situa-
ton. His is round-bottomed houseboat made
out of an old lifeboat which he believes used to
belong to some ship that was in the SPANISH
American War. Most Of the houseboats are
like great boxes, rectangular in shape, but the
Pride domicile is the real boat variety. Cater
ing to fishing folk is his forte.
Mr.. Pride was found chopping stem for q
boat he has just built. He knows all his mari
time neighbors, for there is a row of house,
boats just downstream of where his is moored
to the shore. He complains a bit that the
weather has been too warm for the minnow
business to suit him, but he's looking for better
days the latter part of the month.
And then out into the warm August after
noon, tempered by the greenwood of Columbia
Island and the breeze that fits along Boundary
Channel, comes a woman in a bathing suit.
She, too, has received a letter to vacate But
there's going to be none of that for her. She Is
insistent that this is District property and
she cites the fact to prove it that the harbor
police boat from the Metropolitan Police De-
partment makes daily trips by there. Fur
