District Heads Weiqh
Dispute on Definition
OF Housing Facilities

The Commissioners today had
under advisement a set Of hotly dis
puted redefinitions OF Washington
housing facilities as proposed by
their Special Public Housing Com
mittee.
The opposition arose at q public
hearing 'in the District Building
yesterday on the committees rec
concentrations for changing classi-
fications OF various types of housing
apartments, rooming houses, hotels
and tenements.
Leading the opponents were a
group Of attorneys representing hotel
and apartment owners and rooming
house landlords. The opponents,
objscting principally to a new des-
ignation Of lodging quarters tenta-
lively set down as tenement
houses" asked that a special COM
mittee be formed to iron out the
differences between the committees s
recommendations and the wishes Of
the property owners.
Commissioner Guy Mason, how
ever, seeking to effect swift settle
ment OF the differences, said q group
of the opposing spokesmen will meet
Immediately with Assistant Corpo-
ration Counsel Milton J. Norman
and the other members Of the
committee.
| Mr.. Mason wants the list Of def
nitions settled before the October
public hearing on the new license
and inspection fees to be charged
for each type Of housing. The rec
ommendation Of the committee calls
for uniformly higher license and in
spection fees to combat q $500 900
loss the District incurs each year
on inspection services.
The proposed changes in the def
nitions, fees and other parts Of the
District Code would give the Com
missioners power to withhold licenses
or investigate conditions In many
dwellings now exempt because they
are defined as apartment houses.

Chlordone Dust For
Ant Control o
Avuiluble At Cost

For several years the large
mound building fire ants have
been causing much alarm to far
mers in the southeastern corner
of Mississippi and in the adjoin-
ing section of Alabama.
Plans are under way for a
control program in the infested
areas in Jackson, George and
Greene counties this fall or win
ter, according to a statement by
G.. L. Bond, local representative
of the State Plant Board.
Meanwhile, the best means of
control as. recommended by Mr..
Bond, is the use of SO chlor-
dane dust applied to the nests or
mounds by a small hand dust
gun. This is done by punching
the spout of the dust gun into the
mounds at several places and
pumping the powder into the cav
tiles of the mounds and the
ground beneath. A thorough ap-
plication of the powder by this
method will completely destroy
the ants.
Mr.. Bond states that quite a
number of farmers and others
living in the infested areas have
expressed a desire to purchase
some of the chlordane dust for
use this summer. He has re-
ouested DR.. Clay Lyle of the
State Plant Board to ship some
of the dust to this area to be
made available. at cost to those
desiring it for controlling ants.
The dust can now be secured
from MI. Bond or at the County
agents office for 10 cents a
pound. Later when the campaign
is put on, there will be no charge
