of almost every description,
Mr.. Walden has recently been IN
communication with several Of the
real estate and financial men OF the
city. and Judging from the encourage
ment he received, it is almost certaE
that he will move to this city Wlthln
very short while.
He suggested that the local prop
lem should be first outlined and there
after regulate the rental question to
suit the classes of wage earners who
would occupy the new property.
While he believes that standardized
construction is necessary, he added
that the same should not be over
done, especially where the architect
ure might mean so much to a city's
future He also said that the high
cost of construction should not hin
der building progress in view of per
manent rentals, and even sales on co
operative plans.
Cheap houses erected in Ions
rows" he said, 'are usually not built
for permanent renting, but to sell to
individuals as mere prospects and
for little money"
In conclusion, Mr.. Walden said:
''The housing problem in Brunswick
should be taken up at once and by
everybody, for it is certain that the
industrial growth is far ahead of the
home-building and still not nearly as
overbalanced as it promises to be af
