Housing Cleanup.

Center. Last year the experiment was
tried of turning one of these houses
directly over to destitute families, who
were applying for relief.
Two properties, 248 Third street
and 302 C street, were turned over to
the emergency relief division for the
housing of destitute persons May Is,
1888. In order to make them conform
with the fire regulations, a total OF
81 ,092 was spent.
Several families were moved in.
Early this year the building inspector
looked the properties over and found
them In such shocking structural con-
dition that he condemned them as
unfit for human habitation." This
was on June Is. The relief families
were moved out and wrecking COM
panies were asked to bid on the Job
of razing them. The successful bidder
paid $558 for getting the job, and the
houses were raZed.
Apparently that ended the expert
ment of furnishing housing direct.
Nowadays the District rents out all
its properties to the highest bidder,
who is expected TO keep them in re-
pair.
houses purchased for eventual con-
demnation for the site of the Municipal
Center, four Of these houses have at
various times been subleased to per-
sons on the relief rolls. Two Of them
have such subtenants now.
One house is rented by the District
to landlord for 500 per month. In
this house there are seven subtenants
on the relief rolls, paying 50 each
per week rent, total of $21 per week
or $91 per month. Thus this landlord
receives back almost her entire rental
to the District from its relief cases
There are other tenants in this build
ing not on the relief rolls.
In another house, the landlord pays
the District $45 per month, and sub
lets single room to a family at q
weekly rental of $6.25, or a monthly
figure Of s2708. This landlord OBJ
tains more than half of his rental to
the District back from q relief family
in single room.
AS explained by Miss May Hankin,
acting director of emergency relief,
the policy of her division is to inquire
how much applicants for relief need
for rent, as well as for other neces-
sites, and then to furnish them a
weekly stipend which will cover one
half OF their rent and contributions
toward other necessities. No rent is
paid direct to the landlord.
