THE CITY
SUCCESS OF GARDEN CITIES
IN MODEL HOUSING ABROAD.
Opportunity to Adopt Principles Found
Successful In Europe.

Hornce B. Mann. an American dele
ternational Garden Cities and Town
Planning association. held in London
last summer. and who has but recently
returned to this country. says that the
lessons learned from the conference
will undoubtedly act as a stimulus
toward preparing the way for better
housing conditions in Industrial n.
tiers. as we'll as for the adaptation of
the garden principles found successful
abroad to similar purposes in this coun-
try.
The garden city system. as estab-
lished and carried out 30 successfully
in many parts Of England. Is totally
different from anything we have in
this country" said Mr.. Mann recently.
practically all Of these towns which
have been established to improve the
housing conditions Of the poorer class
es and provide reasonable rentals are
organized on the copartnership basis.
BY this principle the land is held In
ownership by the parent organization
and is either leased with the houses
to the tenants at reasonable rates or
the houses are leased separately. 1t
has the advantage OF preventing a rise
in value due to speculative buying.
while again it insures the character Of
the peighborhood by maintaining con-
troll of the building operations. This
system has solved to q very large de-
gree the housing problem in Englnnd."
The tenants of these industrial towns
actually pay less for their homes than
the cost Of maintenance. but the pro-
prietors feel that, although running
their model towns at a loss. 1t Is q
wise expenditure, as it contributes to
the general efficiency Of the workers.
Mr.. Mann believes that this semi
charitable system has Its evils and
that it might be better to pay higher
wages and then charge enough for the
houses to eliminate the attitude Of
charity.
In working out Its housing problem
to clear out the slums the city Of Liv-
erpool. explained Mr.. Mann, adopts a
similar method. The municipality own
a large number Of model tenements
which are rented to the poorer classes
at less than the actual cost of mainte-
nance. the annual loss to Liverpool BE-
ing about $4,000 a year.

now been applied which eliminates
much Of the trouble usually encounter
ed and is feasible when time is not an
important factor. \ hole two inches
in diameter is bored fairly deep into
the middle of the stump and is then
filled with equal parts Of nitric and
sulphuric acids and plugged. After
about five weeks time the large
stumps Of the hardest woods are SO
eaten by the acid that they are easily
crumbled with Il pick.
