in its leading editorial last even

"One of the first matters that
attracted my attention upon my re-
cent election as President of the
Chamber of Commerce was the need
of additional housing facilities in
Harrisburg. The war industries
which have come into being or have
grown out of concerns organized
for other purposes, have been large
" responsible for the fact that we
are now very short of houses, and
especially good houses at reason

thought to this condition and just
as soon as the Government makes
a final and definite decision as to
the location and size of the war sup
ply depots it contemplates for this
section the Chamber will be ready

fame to tell us just what we should
have 10 make Harrisburg the kind
OF a city that will attract and keep
the people who may find residences
here. more or less temporarily dur
ing the approaching construction

officials of the Chamber realize the

we should have we will ask the
Government to help solve our PROB

aside money 10 meet this needs of
communities such as ours, where
the normal growth of population
has been greatly augmented by an

J. Horace Mcfarland. president
