Liner for Chimney
Easily Installed,
Defeats Acid Worry
By HiIson Munsey

Chimneys are often a source of
trouble and sometimes of danger
from fire. This is particularly true
of unlined chimneys. The heat OF
the fire has a tendency to disinte-
crate the cement and allow flames
and heat to penetrate into the house
walls.
Until recently once a chimney was
built there was no may of changing
lit except to tear it down and re-
build. Today, it is possible to line
the chimney with little effort or ex-
pense. This chimney liner is made
of heavy-gauge, high quality iron
and coated, outside and inside, with
ground coat and a second coat of
high temperature, acid-resistant,
vitreous enamel. Each joint is
welded to give the appearance Of a
seamless tube.
Three is no danger Of the enamel
chipping under the effects of hea.
because both the metal and the
enamel have the same co-eficient
of expansion.
The liners are made in a variety
of shapes and sizes so that it is an
easy matter to line any type of
chimney and in most cases, with
out breaking into the brickwork. In
some cases where there is sharply
offset chimney the brickwork will
have to be removed at the point of
the offset. The sections are held to-
gether with lugs while the lining
is being installed.
When the chimney is completely
lined it is sealed up around the liner.
This liner does not fit tightly into
the flue, but has an air space all
around it.
This dead air space prevents the
escape Of heat and acts as an in
sulation thereby increasing the
draft. The liner is designed to with
stand the destructive properties of
the by-products of combustion.
These contain acid-bearing mois-
ture that is very destructive to ma
sonry work. The moisture itself will
freeze and expand with changes in
temperature and cause cracks in the
chimney. Use of the liner will drain
off the acid, preventing it from
reaching the chimney proper.
In straight chiinneys the sections
are lowered from the top of the
chimney with a rope. The parts are
loosely bolted and dropped to the
point where the next section can be
attached. The drain is installed
from the basement and is centered

Cortright Urges
Price DecontroI

Immediate elimination Of price
controls on building materials as
the first step to lift "all construc-
ton controls" was urged yesterday
by Frank w. Cortright, executive
vice-president of the National Asso-
citation of Home Builders.
Addressing unit of his associa-
ton in Kansas City, Mo-, Mr.. Cort-
right declared homes are being built
Sin spite of the Government, not
because of it."
Only one curb - the limitation
order to hold down commercial and
industrial building-"is necessary TO
force materials into veterans hous-
ing" he said.
Mr.. Cortright also termed the
priority system for veterans housing
almost valueless," citing compile
tion of industrial and commercial
construction while houses for veter-
ans are seriously begged down."
y He predicted that a Is to 80 pei
cent decrease in the cost of homes
would result through steady flow
. Of materials if the controls were
lifted, and called on vterans' groups
and industry leaders to demand
their elimination.

In a summary OF the position
taken by the District department OF
the American Legion regarding the
Wyatt veterans housing program,
A. E. Casgrain, chairman of the
organizations Housing Committee,
today said Congress must assume

gram has not accomplished.

the eve of a four-day hearing to
open here Monday at which the Le-
gion's national Housing Committee
will gather additional facts so that
1t can help determine the national
organizations stand on controversial
features of the program.
Declaring that, with the tools that
have been given him." Housing Ad-
ministrator Wilson w. Wyatt has
done the best job that could be
hoped for under almost impossible
conditions" Mr.. Casgrain said that,

ito provide housing this year for
veterans and their families of middle
and low income"
Summary Approved.
Mr.. Casgrain's summary of the
local Legion departments position

partment commander, Mr.. Casgrain
said.

November meeting to Monday in
stead Of Armistice Day, as origin
ally announced.
The meeting will not be held at
the Mayfower Hotel. as 1t usually is,
but at the Hamilton Hotel. The
change was necessary because the
Mayfiower could not accommodate
the group, owing to the time re-
uuired to re-estaNish service after
termination of the hotel strike.
Also owing to the strike, the or
ganization's annual dinner has been
postponed until April u.

Houses have not been provided
for families in the greatest need
because provisions in the Wagner
Ellender- Taft bill were sidetracked
by the House Committee on Bank
ing and Currency. That measure
would have provided longer periods
of amortization and lower interest
charges which are essential to
achieving lower monthly rental or
home ownership costs.
"It would have made possible
mutual ownership or cooperative
housing for large segments OF the
returning veteran population. 1t
would have given absolute prefer
ence to veterans families. 1t would
have released great sources of frozen
investment funds held by great in
surance companies for rental hous-
ing for families of middle income
through a sound system OF yield in

Old House Restored
In D. {. Court Area
Arouses Interest

Considerable interest has been
aroused in the District court area
over an unusual project which has
substantially restored a house built
about 1900 and transformed it for
commercial use.
The property, located at 306 Sixth
street NV, Is on a tract decided
by the Commissioners in 1899 to
Thomas Truxton. It was held by
the Truxton family until purchased
in 1887 by George Calvert. Sold two
years later to John Emmerich it re-
manned in the Emmerich family un-
til 1891, when it was purchased by
Henry Reiter. The Reiter family
retained the property unit Ceylon
T. Boswell, II D street Sc. bought
1t from Mrs. Mary Reiter in Septem-
ber. 1945.
The work of restoration required
almost year, according to H. Curley
Boswell, a brother of the owner and
director Of the reconstruction work.
The second and third floors were
restored virtually to their original
character, M. Curley Boswell said,
which the first floor was paneled
from floor to ceiling and converted
into a double room, and two other
rooms. Behind the house is a court
yard with Charleston-type iron
work.
On the second floor, which has a
separate entrance, are small room
and two large rooms, one of which
has an antique fireplace.
The brother said a large amount
Of new materials was required, in
cluding a new roof. but that, except
for the first floor interior, the char
acter of the present house adheres
faithfully to that of the original.
Mr.. Boswell said that so far as
he knew this was one of the few If
not the only commercial restoration
OF its type in Washington.
