Why the Dream Of Home 80 ofsen
Fails to Come True.

To the Editor OF The Times: IN
your editorial OF the 18th. you struck
a true chord, the dream Of every man
who Is a man. at all: Home, home.
home sweet home" doubt not that
most every man has dreamed OF the
little cottage on the hillside, the beau
tiful lawns and shade-trees.
IL Is my opinion that most every
man has dreamed Of the little home he
would like TO have. but most every
man Is not able 10 have his dream
fulfilled. When We consider the num-
bers OF men and women who have
dreamed this same dream, and all
their lifelong have saved and saved
their small earning. and yet, went to
their graves without having provided
their children with the cottage on the
hillside.
II Is well to encourage every man
to provide home for himself. but II
Is also well TO show him Why II IL so
hard TO do so.
Each year the cost OF homes In De-
troit are increasing. Each year II In
becoming harder and harder for one
tc acquire a home.
When we speak of home we should
not confuse the bricks and mortar
with the place on which they rest A
home Is not home today unless you
own the land under the home.
Within the limits OF this city there
, Is plenty OF good land on which to set
homes. Labor Is willing and eager TO
erect the buildings. IL permission 10
| do so can be obtained. But, those who
own the vacant lots and unused acres
OF this city will not give their permits
sion unless they receive their price.
| This Is the reason, and the only rea-
SON, II is year by year becoming hard
Ell and harder for one to obtain for
himself home.
