HOW THEY LINED UP IN
THIRD LIBERTY DRIVE
(From the Congressional Record)
Mr. Johnson of Kentucky. In this
connection I wish to state that the
Fnited States Government owns the
premises upon which the Washing
ton Market is located on Pennsyl
vania Avenue. For these premises
the Washington Market is paying
the United States <7,500 a year
That company has grown patriotic
to the extent that some floor space 1
for which it has no particular use
is now being leased to the United
States for $8,000 a year—$500 more
than they pay for all of it. [Laugh
ter.)
