CLEVELAND
HOUSE SHORT d
Survey Shows 10000 Homes
Are Needed by Resi-
dents of City.

Cleveland O., March Cleveland
is, facing the worst house shortage
in its history. A survey recently
completed by the housing committee
of the chamber of commerce shows
urgent need for 10. 900 homes that will
rent It from SIS to S35 a month. An
investigation just completed by the
Cleveland real estate board shows
that the normal number of new ac-
commodations being furnished is far
less than the demand warrants. The
shortage is ascribed to the war. short
age of labor and high prices of build
ing materials.
Real estate developers declare tho!
cannot bear the tremendous task of
fulfilling requirements and say that
industrial concerns must aid.
In the first two months of 916 ac-
commodations were provided through
the issuance of city building permits
for twenty-seven families to live in
apartment buildings. as compared
first two months of 1917. Dwelling
permits taken out in January and
February this year would house liz
families against 502 in the corre-
spending months last year.
First steps toward solving problem
have been taken. 1t was announced
that the housing committee will make
0OU.000 asked of congress for use in
providing homes for munitions work
ers Another proposition under COM
sideration is the raising of a fund OF
several million dollars by argesmanu-
| featuring concerns to provide a COM
prehensive home building program.
Full recognition has been given to
4 the fact that $4,000 0Clevelanders have
joined the colors. Practically all OF
these were unmarried men and there.
