VACANCIES SCARCE
MOVING DAY QUIET
Percentage of Available
Space Is Low Despite
New Building.

Washington observed the most quiet
moving day in its history today be-
cause there was virtually no place to
go.
Despite the fact more than 1880
new homes, fats and small apartments
have been erected since January in
the greatest residential building furry
in the last five years, the percentage
of vacant residential space is the lowest
it has ever been. One real estate sta
tistical expert placed the amount Of
unoccupied apartment and house space
here at 81 per cent or less"
A survey of the larger moving van
companies revealed less activity than
at any time for years. The head Of one
firm said his trucks were doing little
moving from house to house or apart.
ment to apartment, but that an almost
unprecedented number of people we. c
storing furniture as they had been
forced to move and had been unable
to find other quarters.
No Jobs Turned Down.
"In almost every other year." he
stated. I'VE have had to close our
books by September Is, but this year
we haven't turned down single mov-
ing job, and most Of the trips this
year are from homes to our storage
quarters"
There were only few apartments
available for new tenants today, with
an even greater scarcity in rental
houses. There were virtually no small,
single-family dwellings offered at rea-
sonable rentals. The majority of the
new houses built have been offered for
sale and sold without much difficulty.
Real estate men look for the reSiden-
tial shortage to become even more
acute when Congress convenes again.
However. the situation will be some-
what relieved by the fact many men,
bers of Congress and their attaches
retained living quarters during alb
sence from the city.
The Washington Gas Light Co.
stated it had received approximately
3.100 orders for meter changes during
the past three days, which they de-
scribed as considerably less than the
average number for moving day.
While some increase was noted in
rentals throughout the city, the rise
was termed not as sharp as when the
housing shortage first became acute
a year ago.
Quiet Over Country.
Moving day was more quiet than
usual throughout the country, the As
sociated Press reported. Chicago OBJ
served the quietest day in history,
with no sharp rental boosts in the
city or suburbs, but a general in
crease in price of small lower-cost
apartments.
In Denver, there was shortage Of
houses, but rents were not up abruptly.
Portland, Me-, witnessed an increased
demand for single family houses with
no change in rents. In Seattle, only
2.5 per cent of residential space was
unoccupied, with a rise in rents of
from Q to 10 per cent.
Van companies in Atlanta reported
that 1885 has been their best year
since 1927. The Atlanta Gas & Light
Co. stated that more meters had been
changed in 1885 than at any time in
the last decade. Dallas, Tex, wit
messed more moving than a year ago.
with about 80 per cent Of residential
space filled. Boston revealed 81 per
cent vacancies in apartments and
homes.

EDITORIAL

To the United States. where conditions
are not the same as in the Virgin Islands
the low cost housing project is present
ing some difficulties which were pro
baby unforeseen. We publish clipping
from an American newspaper touching
this housing question.
The problem will be more easily solved
in the Virgin Islands where the land
values are low and where fuel and
janitor's service are not necessary.
Reasonable caution must nevertheless
be exercised in the cost Of constructing
these houses. The persons to be Dene-
fitted by the housing project pay from
% cents to DO cents week for room.
They will appreciate larger rooms and
would be delighted 10 live in new houses.
The ability to pay must, however. be
borne in mind. Some of the people
whom tie project is intended to help are
workers. others are unable TO work and
are either depending on small pension
from public funds or are otherwise
dependent upon friends or relatives.
Thus it should be clearly seen that any
improveme Mt in housing which will force
the rent of single room above 30cts.
week will make il difficult for those PEG
plewho are in greatest need of this help.
When the rent goes above 50cts. week
for one room, such rooms will be avail
able only TO class of people who earn
fair wages.
In building the houses the cost must
therefore be so carefully calculated. that
the repayment of the Federal loan
together with interest should not force
the rent of these houses beyond the
reach of those whose lot the Govern
ment aims to improve.

REALISTIC HOUSING
Nowhere are facts more stubborn than
in housing. Socially minded people like
to dream of fair city in which decent
new housing. with ample living quarters
at least a minimum of modern sanitary
conveniences and plenty of sunlight and
fresh air, will be within the reacn of all.
Unfortunately, that dream is impossible
of realization without bankrupting the
Government, as few figures from the
latest report OF the State House Board
will quickly prove. The board had under
its supervision in this city last year IL
low-cost houses projects for which com
parable data are available. They show
that maintenance costs alone averaged

Special races draw special at
tention from racing fans. Often
they draw special crowds to see
them run. The NarraganSett
Special tomorrow may draw the
greatest crowd in our racing
history.
A special race at Pimlico in
the autumn of 1877 compelled
Congress to adjourn. Frequently
one reads somewhere that Con-
gress adjourned to witness the
running of that particular race.
AS an ardent racing fan I would
like to know-and report-that
our legislators of the late '70'S
were such dyed-in-the-wool racing
bugs they were inspired to set
aside the nations affairs for an
afternoon and HE themselves to
Baltimore and out to Pimlico for
a joust with the Sport of Kings.
But such was not fact. Con-
greSS had no intention of ad-
journing for that boss race. But
when, just before noon, upon
being called to order by the pre-.
siding officers of House and Sen
ate, it was discovered that an
astounding lot of members were
absent, many of them involved
in important committee confabs,
there was no alternative but for
the two houses to adjourn. An
eagle-eyed Washington reporter
wrote next day that practically
all the missing members were at
Pimlico, a few of them roofing
loudly for this horse or that one.
Popular Distance
The race itself was at the popu.
lar cup distance of two miles
and a quarter, and at $500 for
each starter, with $1,000 added
by the association, all to the
winner, it drew Parole. an Ameri-
can horse destined to acquit HIM
self nobly on English courses. e.
