New Agency 10 Make
Listing Of Rentals
For Newcomers
Defense Housing Registry
Will Offer Service
Without Charge

Newcomers to Washington. after
next Monday, will be able to obtain
from central point in the city
directions as to the location of
available rooms, apartments or
houses, with detailed description
of the property and its surround
ings.
The District Defense Council to-
day opened its Defense Housing
Registry to hundreds of residents
with property to rent and next Mon
day will offer, without charge in
either case, its services to renters,
including the many persons brought
into the area by the defense pro-
gram.
1t is the first time since the World
War that central agency has been
set up to list individual rooms and
to serve as an intermediary to direct
renters to available quarters.
The registry, established at 45S
Indiana avenue NV. in a building
adjoining District police headQuar-
ters, will cooperate with local real
estate firms, which list only apart
ments and houses. It's director, Roy
Miller, said vacant quarters in near
by areas will be listed at present and
later will be turned over to the
individual registries to be set up in
the neighboring sections of Virginia
and Maryland.
Houses Less Than $50 MONTHLY.
Only houses renting at less than
$50 per month and apartments rent
ing at less than SIS per room. per
month, will be recorded. Along with
the location is recorded the name
and telephone of the owner. the type
of room. amount of rent asked.
whether with or without board. and
the time at which the room can be
seen.
Mr.. Miller said the question as to
whether the rent charged is ex-
orbitant or not in terms of the
accommodations offered is a matter
to be determined by the applicants
themselves. or, if necessary, by either
the Committee on Housing Works
and Facilities or the District Defense
Council.
Each piece of property listed will
be examined by inspectors from the
registry to determine whether il
meets minimum standards. If it does
not. the owner will be notified so
thaC proper changes can be made.
Must Meet Requirements.
A rooming house, for instance,
must have resident manager. must
meet District fire and elevator laws
and bath and toilet requirements.
must be clean and have heating
facilities to keep it at a minimum
temperature OF 65 degrees. Each
room must have at least 400 cubic
feet per person and must have at
least one window opening on a street.
yard or court, with a total area of
not less than one tenth of the floor
area.
Apartment buildings or houses
must be structurally safe, must con-
form to fire regulations, must have
no wlndowless rooms to be used for
living purposes, must have proper
ventilation in kitchenetteS, must be
clean and have no bath, toilet or
kitchen which is to be shared by
more than two families.
Lack of adequate heating facilities
and of an indoor water supply or
toilet will not cause the property
to be considered below minimum
standards, Mr.. Miller explained, but
will be brought to the attention of
the applicant when he applies to
the housing registry.

Mr.. Blair was carried away with
the beauty of the fountain, and be-
cause Of clouds of white sand and
fine particles of mica that billowed
upwards in the water, he gave it
the name of Silver Spring.
Mr.. Blair Immediately purchased

A few years ago a freshet caused
by a heavy storm washed surface
earth into the spring. Since then
much of the original beauty has
been destroyed. but water continues
to flow, although at a much slower
rate.
Many Silver Spring residents have
lived in the area all their lives
and have on occasion passed within
$50 feet OF the spring on the East
West highway just off Georgia ave-

There are doubtless very few,
however. who have passed that way
and have failed to notice the Acorn
standing back in the thick foliage
of the Lee estate.
Last week it was revealed that
Morris Miller has purchased por-
ton of the Lee estate to build
nearly 500 apartment units. The
transaction was handled by the
North Washington Housing Corp,
acting as agent for several real es-
tate corporations that have interests
in the property.

corporation, said.
The new street. to be named

Mai. Lee declared yesterday that
the spring would be preserved in
some way. Mr.. Sullivan said in
sereSted partise have developed plans
for the springs preservation and
that the Acorn may be reassembled
elsewhere.

TANNERS FOR IMPORTERS

We continue to have sufficient
tankers to bring more than double
the amount of imports we had in
1888, but not enough to carry a
normal amount of our own oil from
the Gulf coast to our eastern mar
kets. There Is no "aid-to-Britain'
involved in supplying our domestic
market with foreign oil. This is a
matter that only the importers
themselves or the federal govern
ment can handle. No one believes
that this sort of unfair action could
have the approval of Co-ordinator
Ickes.

We claimed no honor for his successes
and took no credit for his failure.
We try hard TO get every royalty in

The only reason for using up this

we look with pleasure ON the record of

i'm the future than we have known in the
past. We know that d g ep drilling is
coming, as certainly as we know that
deep drilling arrived in Illinois and as
we know that the ATidcOntinent oil his
tory was revised on the basis of deep
drilling.
With Montana oil fields producing more
than ever before in the 20 years of Pc
trOIeum history. we know that royalty
earnings of the next 10 years will make
the figures of the past look very small.
We who have managed TO get a salts
factory income from our royalties in the
past will enjoy far greater income i'm the
future, resulting from increased produc-
ton through modern production methods
and quite probably from the opening of
new horizons, coupled with a growing
market.
In the past IL has taken perhaps more
gambling than vision to make money In
Montana oil development, but it now ap-
pears that the day Of opportunity has
come to those who can look around
themselves and realize the changed con-
ditiOns. We hope in our case that we
have gotten well beyond the pitfalls and
that our service to our members win be
far more valuable in these next eventfuI
years than they have been in the past.
