but baths requiring 80 gallons of
hot water, the full tank" each.
When one girl finishes her big
bath" she holds the bathroom
until another tank of water is
heated and the roommate arrives
to take charge. The disquieting part
of the procedure. the landlady says,
is that her third roomer, a man,
has difficulty breaking up the mo-
nopoly. When he finally gets the
room there is only time and water
for "a cold sponge
Tentative Agreement Reached.
This case may be solved amicably
by Charles Stofberg. the rent public
relations man. Mr.. Stofberg said
the girls have tentatively agreed
either to take a bath every other
day. or a smaller one each day,
This would be satisfactory to the
landlady. who savs the girls are
very good tenants otherwise.
A little man entered Mr.. Stof-
berg's Office Yesterday. saying he
was only seeking "a quiet place to
live" AS his complaints apparently
were going to take much time. he
was asked to put them in writing" "
He started work in an outer Office
about II am. At noon, the man
asked for more paper" When l
o'clock arrived. a half hour after
closing time. Mr.. Stofberg inquired
as to progress of the complaint.
The man said he was on page
9 and wanted more paper" BY
2 o'clock, the visitor finished page
12 At this point Mr.. Stofberg in
tervened again and suggested the
man brief" the remainder Of his
remarks on page 13.
Il want to be sure and give all
the details" the man said. You
know if you don't present a good
case you are accused of being just
crank"
Another man charged his land
lord. in the interests of economy,
served only brunch on Sundays
and holidays when he used to serve
both breakfast and lunch.
A landlady, who wished to re-
move a bachelor boarder, painted
a portrait of him in her complaint,
which reads:
He requires extra work as to
getting meals when all others are
through and work is all done.
He repeatedly fails to pay in
advance.
He walks on the tin roof after
being asked not to-
He does not comply to rules
and regulations of house regarding
blackouts.
He wakes others repeatedly to
let him in because he forgets his
keys.
He plays radio at am. in living
room, also sings loudly at night
and awakens others.
HE does his washing in the house
and bothers others for ironing
