 This is the substance of statements made by George B. Crawford, presi< dent of the Chamber of Commerce, under a. housing committee appointed for the purpose, is attempting with the aid of public spirited persons to lay plans for judicious housing.
 Numerous projects for raising funds and planning housing have been, sub rnitted to the Chamber of Commerce DeLoss-
 1.-The work of the housing com mittee at this time,'' said MT. Craw- ford, will be to determine how a stimulus can be given to building of houses for workmen. Whether this will be by individual building, by cor porations or by private or public in- terests is not material as long as we get good housing. We need nearly 10000 houses. at once. It is likewise not material at this time whether they be of the single type, the block type or the New York apartment type. These are matters to be con- sidered later"
