residential rents during the past
year in Maryland and Virginia COM

dents who work in the District.

pointed out, will give a picture of
changes in living costs during the
past year in the communities sur
rounding Washington.

advance in rents in the District

for March, covering changes that
have taken place in the cost of
living in the District in the preced-
ing quarter. will be made public
