BETTER HOUSING IN INDIA
Government 10 Giving Its Attention to
Matter That Has Been Too Long
Neglected.

One of the most prominent features
connected with the present develop
ment of India is the jealous attention
paid in some Of the larger cities to
providing more sanitary housing &C
commodations for workmen, says the
Building Age. The need Of this may
perhaps be more readily understood
by the statement that out of the total
population of Bombay, rs per cent live
in one-room tenements, and many Of
the rooms are occupied by more than
one family.
The tenement buildings In some
Instances are said to have their rooms
constructed like the steerage quarters
of ship; that Is, with hunks one over
another. Bedrooms and kitchens are
sometimes combined. Between the
buildings are narrow passageways
into which all manner Of refuse is
thrown by the tenants and which are
used for drainage purposes. That
these dwellings are unfit for human
'habitation is well recognized BY tho
municipal authorities of Bombay, and
In order to provide better accommoda-
lions, sanitary "chawls" or tenements
have been built for nearly twenty thou
sand persons. A "chawr In India
means building 80 constructed as to
be suitable for letting in separate ten
ements, each consisting of q single
room or of two rooms. but not Of more
than two rooms.

Living Conditions Behind Times.

Great Improvement In the water
supply and sewage disposal equipment
in the country homes of Michigan Is
imperative, in the opinion of o. e.
Robey. M. A. G. and federal "house-
hold engineer" who has filed report
with the college relative to the results
of his findings during his first two
months in the field.
Mr.. Robey, whose work is to pro-
mote better homes and better home
surroundings in the country, spent his
first two months In Saginaw and Ale
gan county.
1T is plainly evident that there is
great need of improvement" declared
Mr.. Robey in his report to the state
board of agriculture. This was
especially SO in Saginaw county.
Forty homes were visited in Saginaw
township. lying adjacent to the city OF
Saginaw, where 1t would seem that
city Influences ought to have some
effect in lettering home surround
ings, yet out of this number only one
has made an attempt at fitting up a
bathroom; eight had kitchen sinks
with a cistern pump: IL used wind.
mills or gas engines for pumping wa.
ter, and four pumped the well water
to the barn. while only two pumped
1t to the house.
"Allegan county was better in this
respect, but here too, the great ma
jority had done nothing along this
line.
"One Of the great difficulties en-
countered in promoting this better
home movement is the general indif-
ference of the people. Some were too
busy paying for the farm to think
of those conveniences, while others
had the farm paid for but were think.
ing of moving to town and so did
not care to have a modern home son
the farm for the tenant.
Farmers as a rule are conserva-
tive. self-reliant, and independent.
They do not readily commit them
selves to new proposition. This one
Is no exception. though 1t was found
that where the nature of the work
was understood, the people were ia.
vorably impressed with its impor-
lance"
The effort by the college and the
federal department of agriculture to
be OF assistance In aiding the farmer
to better his home surroundings at
minimum cost, is being put forth
through Mr.. Robey In various ways.
The work is carried on partly in CO
operation with county agents. Homes
of many farmers, particularly those
who had asked for assistance, are
visited personally by Mr.. Robey. An
other means of stirring up interest
and obtaining names OF interested
people consists in the household en-.
gineer meeting with various local or.
CARNATIONS such as oranges, farm.
ery' clubs, churches. church societies
| aud similar bodies.
Mr.. Robey. In recounting his first
experiences to the board said that III
was found necessary In great many
cases to spend a whole lot OF time
with each individual. In order to give
specific advice on the installation OF
q water or sewage disposal system, II
was necessary first to become thor
oughly familiar with the surround
ings. present requirements and future
expansion. The farmer In many cases
had to be shown the practicability Of
these modern improvements"
