- Description:
- Mrs. W. S. Jones wrote to George B. Schwabe, a member of Congress, expressing concern about the poor housing conditions near military bases and urging the government to take action. She suggested building more government housing projects, offering housing to military personnel and their families, and investigating and controlling high rents for substandard housing. Mrs. Jones emphasized the need for better living conditions for military personnel and their families, and urged Schwabe to address the issue. Schwabe responded, acknowledging the housing problem and stating that he had heard similar testimonies from others. He thanked Mrs. Jones for her views and wished her well in her new location.
