there should be an abnormal
number of requests of all kinds
coming at you all the time he
said.
On the whole, MI. Betor says,
the moving-in process was fairly
smooth. Tenants were given a
schedule of moving-in hours so
that long queues of moving vans
would be avoided, and so that the
freight elevator would be avail
able without long waits.
Now the job is settling down to
seeing that final touches are COM
pleted, such as refinishing a floor
here, adjusting a stove there, re-
pairing a plaster crack, repaint-
ing a marred wall and jobs like
that, as well as the everyday busi-
ness of maintenance and opera
ton.

A check with managers of other
apartment buildings now being

experience differs only in detail

the same period in 1949.
The 21O rental units started
in October were less than a tenth
of the October, 1949. volume, BIS
pointed out.
! Construction of rental units
from January through October.
this year, amounted to only about
a fourth of last years volume
for the same period.
In the first 10 months of this
year, 22,470 rental and for-sale
units were started in the District
area, as compared to 29,040 units
started in the same 10-month pc
riod last year.
Single family housing ran
ahead of rental housing in all
parts of the Washington Metro
politan Area except the District
during the first 10 months of the
year. Montgomery. Prince Georges
and Fairfax Counties led in the
number of new one-family houses
for which permits were issued.
while the District accounted for
more than half the rental-type
housing.
Construction cost of one-fam-
lily houses. as reported by pri-
vate builders, averaged $11.100 for
the first 10 months of 1850, COM
pared with $1,000 for the corre-
spending months last year.
''These averages are for all new
houses started and do not re-
fleet the construction cost of a
typical house." BIS said. Aver
age construction cost is affected
not only by changes in the cost
of materials and labor, but also
by variations in the size and

Education First.
I'm a job like this-opening a
very large building with all new
tenants-the big thing is to start
educating everybody about the
building" he said.
"a big building has a character
all its own, and every building is
somewhat different. The staff
must know it, and the tenants
must learn about it, too. The
first few weeks for every tenant
constitute a period of getting ac-
quainted with the operation of
the building and of their own
apartment"
Training a staff to operate de-
velopment like Quebec House is
something like training a crew to
operate a ship. Each job is spe-
cialized and the work must be
geared to the structure. The
moving-in period can be compared
to the "shake-down cruise"
Most problems that come up for
tenants are relatively minor. but
Mr.. Betor says he considers all of
them important.
For example, take preferences
for left-hand refrigerators and
right-hand refrigerators," said Mr..
Betor. You wouldn't expect to
encounter problems like that,
would you? And yet we consider
1t important, and If tenants want
changes made, we try to make
them"
Repair Work Slower.
In q new building, Mr.. Betor
finds, most tenants expect there
will be no floor scratches. even If
made when furniture is moved in.
In every case. we try to satisfy
the tenant" he said. eve want
everybody to be happy"
When special repair work is re-
quired, Mr.. Betor says it some
times cannot be done quite as
rapidly in new building as in an
old building, since so many more
requests are received at one time
when all tenants are new.

Washington and California looked
to be the teams to beat as row.
ing crews from 13 colleges swept
through the Ohio River today in
practice sessions for Saturdays re-
gatta.
But an air of quiet confidence
brewing in the Navy camp brought
the Middies into the picture as
a darkhorse contender in the In

A lot of support seems to be
growing for Navy's chances on
the Ohio River course. Ensign
Perry Nelson. nice-looking, easy
hammered newcomer, is here in
the shoes of ailing Coach Buck
Walsh. Nelson rowed with the
Navy crew which won the Pough-
keepsie Regatta in 1947.
The heavy crew of Massachu-
sets Institute of Technology
loomed as the toast of the East,
with Cornell and Pennsylvania
also rating a nod as possible
winners.
The fact that the crews will be
racing on q new Smile course in
stead Of the well-known Hudson
River course at Poughkeepsie,
N. Y, gave some backing to scat
tered predictions Of a possible
upset.
The uncertainty of the time
trials over the course gave coaches
no assurance of speed as COM
pared with times on the Hudson
River. All time trials here have
been rowed with a moderately
swift current. with a still stream
promised for Saturday.
Lineup of crews across the river
also has added to the uncertainty.
