There is not n great choice Of desirable

be too particular There are also many

Garner.
THE MAINTENANCE OF ExIsTING DWELLINGS
This brings lIs to the second phase of
our problem and one that recently has
been too much ohscured, the maintenance
of existing dwellings According "a the
Manual Of Councils, Philadelphia had on
January /, 1918, 3T2, COS dwellings, of
which 236 900 were Of the tWo-story
type This is only 500 more dwellings
than il bad on January / 1917, according
To the same authority That is, while
we were building Z. ia dwellings the total
of new dwellings IN 1917 we apparently
were dernollshing ,s25 But these figures
again do not tell the whole story, for there
remain very many dwellings unfit for
habitntion They range ell the way from
ruins to houses which could be made tt
with comparatively small expenditure.
during The bHt year, bo"eVtI, ftpdtis
md improvements have been neglected
to an unusual degree because Of the scar-
city and high cost Of labor and materials.
So there has hecn nm abnormal deprecla-
ton OF existing dwellings. 70 some
extent this depreciation must be accepted
ms part Of oiIr war cost, and where It
means merely shahbiness we should bear
il with what equanimity We can. But
where il means the development of in
