The result is a serious overcrowding and high rents in all the coal towns. A number of people can find no houses to rent, and are living in tents and shanties on the fringes of the town

They originally come from Boston and lived in the town of Bath until they found the rents too much for them to meet. In Bath they had rented two small rooms in an attic for six dollars a week (unheated). When their rent was raised they decided to move into a trailer. Their trailer is next to a gas station from which they get their electricity, water and toilet facilities for one dollar fifty cents a week. They do not expect to move into a house but want to continue living in trailers so as to save their money "while the BOOM lasts."
