The two citizens who have been
most prominently identified with the
solution of the problem are former
Mayor Nathan and former Premier
Luigi Luzzatti. The method of the
latter was to raise city taxes on old
houses and to let new ones go free of
taxes for a given period. Mayor Nath-

on land on which the owner refused
to build He also secured the adoption
of ordinances providing low taxes for
dwellings occupying but one fourth of
the building plot and the rent of an
apartment of which did not exceed 500
a month Other parts of the scheme
involved the preservation of ancient
Rome as public monuments and
parks and inducing the poor popula-
ton to leave the old buildings for the
higher healthy sections outside the
ancient and medieval sites.
The results of these various measur-
es has been the building up of the over
Tiber section known as Pratt and tbs
high quarter above the ancient city
which really lies in the Tiber bot
toms, known as Alta Roma, outside Of
Portia Pia and generally surrounding

ROME, Italy, April 15.-For the first
time in the history of modern Rome
there are enough houses in the city to
accommodate it's population. According
to recent municipal statistics, the city
has almost a room for each of its 600,-
900 inhabitants. In the twelve-year
period cited, the population has in
creased 1O6,5OO, the number of new
rooms 81 1887, and a total building cost
of $12 100000.
The solution of the housing problem
Of Rome has been studied by American
cities through their own experts and
through United States Consular reports
because here new, cleaner and roomier
dwellings have not meant an increase
but a decrease in rents for poor
people
The problem in Rome has Offered
peculiar difficulties, partly because
Rome has been at times the most pop
ulous and at other times the least pop
ulous Of the cities of the world. In its
most populous days, when its inhabit
ants have been variously estimated a
from one to three millions, it solved it:
