House to Be Remodeled. ‘The little house at Fifteenth street and the Avenue will continue to stand in its present condition until after awards are made in the design compe- tition as a horrible example of what can happen to a property that is meglected and permitted to deteriorate.

Plans to place speakers before every eivic organization meeting in May are being worked out by Richmond B. Keech, chairman of the Committee on Contacting Organizations, and Herbert 1. Willett, jr, chairman of the com- mittee to supply speakers. Leaflets describing the work will be distributed at each meeting and those present will be urged to return the coupons, show- ing “intention to renovize.” Contractors who obtain work in the |k renovize campaign will be asked to| check their list of former workers with | the lists of those receiving aid from | the Board of Public Welfare in order | that former workers, now unemployed, may be given work before new help is acquired. A large number of compe- tent mechanics are now on the lists| of the Emergency Relief Committee of the board, according to L. A. Halbert, executive secretary, and it is hoped, by careful checking, to give some of these men work and relieve the Board of Public Welfare of that much of its present heavy burden.
