SOLVING THE HOUSING
PROBLEM IN DES MONIES.
attractive Flats at Moderate Rents Be-
ing Constructed by Association.

A practical demonstration to prove
that individual apartments with mod
ern plumbing. sanitary conveniences
and absolute privacy for each family
can be built to rent for from IS to
$3.50 per month and yet yield a rea-
Bonable profit to the builder is being
made in Des Moines, Ia. The Octavia
Hill association, which has already won
renown in solving housing problems,
has worked out the plan to the small
est detail and is building the model
houses. Forty-five families will be pro-
vided for in the first block now under
construction.
The houses. which are Of red brick,
are simply finished. with sufficient
trimming to keep them from being
severely plain. One important feature
Of the property is the provision for the
children. About 5000 square feet Of
ground in the center Of the block will
be used for a playground. The rent
collectors are trained social workers
and will volunteer to start the play
ground activities.
The Des Moines venture is Il test
case to prove that the insanitary and
bad housing conditions which prevail
for the low salaried workingman are
criminally unnecessary. 1t is voicing
an unanswerable protest against the
crowded tenement, the dilapidated and
insanitary house which is virtually the
only kind offered to the man who must
pay less than SIS a month rental.
The association now own or man
ages 353 dwellings, housing $500 peo-
pie, and has never failed to pay 4 per
cent q year to it's stockholders.
