RENTS CONDEMNED SITES FOR 30 DAYS : Unite& States Gives Leases on Property for Supreme Court Home. 5 ‘With the Government rapidly taking title to large tracts of property for the Federal building program here, Frank A. Birgfeld, chief clerk of the Treasury, Who will handle this property for the Government until’ bulldings are torn down, has completed “‘agreements” for a number of pieces of property provid- ing for 30-day occupancy. gA number of these agreements took effect yesterday on houses and apart- ments on the site for the United tes Supreme Cuurii gundlng. north of the Congressional rary. ME.I Birgfeld thus becomes the official in charge of & large and growing zro:g of houses and business property whi he will supervise for an indefinite period. < He will be responsible for “renting out,” although it is not strictly rent, property ranging from Chinese noodle factories, a theater and business houses to large apartment houses. Leased to Operators. While the Government owns the property, it cannot operate much of it under the law, such as a theater, like the President Theatet, near Eleventh street and Pennsylvania avenue, Or & large apartment house. So these large properties_have been “leased out to persons who in turn run the property. Large apartment houses, for instance, will be leased to persons who will oper- ate them, so that occupants of such apartment houses_taken over by the Government need have no anxiety over occupancy or rent until the time comes for the building to be torn down. Arrangements have been completed by Mr. Birgfeld so that there will be no gaps. between private ownership man- agement of apartments and mnnage-[ ment by some one with whom an agree- ment has been reached by the Govern- ment. Persons_renting apartments will be notified when the time comes to change the place or person to whom the rent is paid in case there is any change. Most of the agreements going into effect yesterday were on the Supreme Court site, bounded by First, Second and East Capitol streets and Maryland avenue. The site is intersected by A street noztheast. Sites Under Agreement. Among the pieces of property on which agreements became effective yes- terday and the persons to whom they have been “rented” under 30-day ar- sgngements are 124 East Capitol street, Harriet W. Nutting and G. A ler; . 140-50 East Capitol street, Samuel Simon; 21, 23 and 25 First street northeast, National Woman's Party; 18 Second street northeast, Mrs. May Milburn; 136 A street northeast, S. G. Pulliam; 117 Maryland avenue, Mrs, Theodosia Scarborough; 112 East Capitol street, Maud Younger; 149 A street northeast, J. W. Weaver, who will manage this property, the Darlington apartment house; 115 Maryland avenue, Cora B. Sanborn; 6 Second street northeast, J. H. Weaver; 122 East Cap- itol street, Francis Boyle; 138 A street northeast, Mrs. E. W. Scott; 13 First street northeast, Miss Catherine Moore; 131 A street northeast, J. H. Weaver: 130 East Capitol street, J. H. Weaver, and 152-54 A street northeast, J. H. ‘Weaver. In the case of the Congressional Apartment, located on the Supreme Court site, Mr. Birgfeld said he planned to ask for competitive bids to operate it later on. The act of Congress under which Mr. Birgfeld is operating was enacted for handling the Federal building program in this particular feature, and reads as follows: “That in case a site or additions to a site acquired under the provisions of this act contains a building or buildings the Secretary of the Treasury is hereby authorized in his discretion to rent until their removal becomes necessary such of said buildings as may be purchased by the Government or the land on which the same may be located where the buildings are reserved by the ven- dors at a fair rental value, the proceeds thereof to be deposited in the Treasury of the United States and a report of the proceedings to be submitted to Con- gress annually.” TODAY’S AMUSEMENTS.
