OUR NEXT BIG PROBLEM

risburg and vicinity. The war
largely responsible. Our steel indus
tries have been greatly stimulated
by munition orders, and the com
ing of Schwab to Steelton has beel
4 mighty force in Fastening condi
tions that otherwise might not hav'
come about for a decade. And
finally, there is now the United
States Government with promises o.
the expenditure of many millions
either at Middletown or New Cum
berland, and probably at both
These supply depots, we are told,
may be permanent. But whether or
not the Government finds use after
the war for the buildings to be erect
ed they will not be permitted long
to stand idle. Too many manufac-
turers have their eyes on Harris
burg to permit bargains in buildings
to go begging.
But now it happens that this sud
den and unexpected prosperity which
has come to us is not so much mat
ter of importance as is what we are
going to do about it, for the new
conditions bring with them new re-
sponsibilities. Foremost of these is
the housing question. With nearly
every house in the city occupied and
many residences having been turned
into apartments, we are face to face
with the alternative of permitting
the housing of our rapidly-growing
population to work itself out in hap
hazard, r-miss fashion or we
must make an endeavor to guide it
along proper lines.
We are at the parting of the ways.
Either we are to have a city of over
crowded, insanitary, undesirable
tenements and hastily constructed
novels or we are to grow and develop
along lines that will make for a
more beautiful, more healthful, more
nrosnerous and more contented city
For the former, we have but to sit
idly by and permit profiteering land
lords to erect the class of houses
that provide minimum of beauty
comfort and healthfulness, while they
Weld a maximum of rental.
We are in bad enough way now
There are districts in which ma
iority of houses are a public dis
grace. We rejoiced when the old
Capitol Park Extension section Of
the Eighth ward was wiped out
but the slum has not been eliminat'
ed. The location has been changed

The Real Estate, Board has real
lied that all is not well. Presiden
Gipple's suggestion for an "own you
home" campaign is step in tn
right direction. But more is needed
The time has come when such or
ganfzations as the Real Estate Board
the Chamber of Commerce, the Cit,
Planning Commission and the NUM-
cipal League should take counsel to
gether as to how the many Difficult
ties that stand in the way of a cor
rect solution of the problem may b
met. Good fortune has left goldel
treasure on our doorstep. Oppor

burg becoming is knocking at ou
