On the first day of the armistice the War Department was a party to leases obligating it to pay $13,000,000 in rentals annually. By the end of December, 1919, the Real Estate Service had made a large net reduction in the number of leases, and the annual rent bill had dropped to approximately $5,000,000, although in that interval the Service had acquired by lease hundreds of millions of square feet of new storage space.
