when the shop. which was the first

was boarded up. When they re-
turned, they found another family
occupying all five rooms and their

When they left for the Tsnforan
Assembly Center, the husband
claimant left his shoe repair ma
chinery in the portion of the build
ing that had been continuously used
by him as shoe shop since 1916 and
the entrance to the shoe shop was
also securely locked
For a number of years prior to
evacuation, the claimants had paid
a monthly rental for the five rooms,
including the shoe shop. Before
evacuation. they made an agree
ment with the owner of the building
to pay certain annual rental, ex-
pressing reserving to themselves
the right of re-entry upon their re-
turn, and paid this annual rent
from April 26, 1912 to Oct. 26. 1915.
About a year before the claimants
returned, the owner, with their per-
mission, sublet the shoe shop alone,
together with the right to use the
machinery, to various third parties
and retained the income thus re-
ceived. The claimants consented to
this arrangement because the own
er was insisting upon a larger rem
tai and the claimants desired to pro-
tect their right of re-entry.
The tenants of the shoe shop mis-
used and damaged the machinery.
The claim was for the loss Of the
stored personal property, the cost Of
repairing the damaged machinery
and Of the rental to retain his right
of re-entry.
The difficult question in this
claim concerned the rental paid to
preserve the right Of re-entry upon
their return to San Francisco and
whether this constituted less" al
lowable under the act.
The government conceded that II
was reasonable for the claimants
to pay this annual rental in order
to preserve the right of re-entry. fol-
continuous business at the same ad-
dress for 20 years had given his
lease in a crowded city added value
that he did not want to sacrifice.

Arlington Democrats
Avoid School Issues

Arlington's Democratic party
will not nominate or support can
didates for the county school
board this fall.
Harrison Mann, chairman of the
Democratic Executive Committee,
said today this policy is in line
with the committees belief in
previous years that politics should
not be injected into the schools.
He said a resolution was adopted
by the party's campaign COM
mittee reiterating the 'hands-off'
stand taken in previous years.
This was done when it was learned
that the non-partiSan school
board nominating conference ex-
pressed fears that party candi-
dates might be offered for the
three school board seats, Mr..
Mann said.
A committee of the nominating
conference is studying a proposal
that two candidates be nominated
for each vacancy on the school
board. In two prior school cleo
tons only one candidate for each
seat was nominated by the group.
1t was explained that the new
policy would be inaugurated if IL
becomes certain that no candi-
dates would be offered in opposi-
Ition to the nominating conference
nominees.
