she has inherited a sum that amounts
to little more than $500 from her

Harrisburg Is Grasping
Newer Building Ideas

In the current issue of Housing Bet
teIment, the official publication of
the National Housing Association, John
Ihlder, secretary, who made a recent
investigation of this city, criticises
Harrisburg builders for "piling their
families in the air."
According to the article, Harrisburg
'is an old city which has inherited the
row house of England, a characteristic
of cities from Southern New Jersey
to Virginia, as it was of those farther
north before the tenement house of
New York and Northern New Jersey
and the three-decker of New England
displaced it." H.
Harrisburg is Just beginning to
break away from this inheritance in
some of it's newer additions, where
groups of semdetached or twin houses
with small spaces are being erected.
But along with this good tendency a
bad one is evident. In the older sec
tiOns of the city where single family
houses are now packed as closely as
they can be the builders have sought
the temporary profit that comes from
piling families in the air. in apartment
and tenement houses
