Real Estate Development Is
More or Less Held Back by
Lack of a Policy


Real estate developments in Har-
risburg, which have been held back
by the war conditions. are marking
time, it is freely admitted, because
of the lack of a definite housing
policy. There are people. here who
are understood to be willing to go
right ahead with building of houses
for renting to workers. firm in the
belief that the industrial activity
here will continue permanently, but
they hesitate owing to the talk about
creation of certain housing districts
and standards.
There is crying need in Harrisburg
now for scores of houses to rent to
men working in mills and on rail-
roads at moderate prices and build
ing is at a standstill. In other cities
building of houses is considered as
much important as the erection OF
structures for essential industries as
the old idea that the workman can
find a roof fore the cook stove Is
exploded.
Meanwhile properties are chang
ing hands in Harrisburg at increas-
ing values and the demand for
homes is really not being met.
