Delaware Industrial Town
Built of Coal Cinders
Government Experts, Unable to Get Building Ma
terial, Crasped Waste Heap in Desperate Hope:
Prove Big Find; Town Erected at Minimum Cost

Cindertown is q name. that could be
truthfully given to little home COM
munity in Delaware, about seven miles
from Wilmington. 1t is really a Gin
der town. Every one Of the seventy
five or more homes there has been
built of cinders, the waste product of
a large industrial plant near by. There
it lay, big heap of furnace waste,
until the war came and America gave
orders mobiizing not only fighting
men but the industries of the country.
The call to the Wilmington plant
necessitated the employment of q
greatly increased force of operatives
The men could be had, but the question
was where were they to be housed.
Many of them were family men.
Speed was paramount. Houses had
to be erected. Building material was
rot to be had in the neighborhood and
transportation was most vexing
problem at best. The housing experts
were at their Wits end as to what to
do, when their eyes lighted on the big
heap of coal cinders, an accumulation
of months. Can it be done? The mix
ing of cement and cnders in the con-
struction of building walls was the
question which entered their minds.
The unburnt sulphur in the cinders
might have destructive effect on the
cement mixture. At any rate, the en-
gineers and architects grasped at the
uncertain offering. the only straw left
them. so block of cinders and cement
was made and put to test for
strength. The substance DEVELOPED

crumble until 1900 pounds of pressure
to the square inch was applied. This
IS 1850 pounds more than the usual
carrying capacity Of a dwelling or light
manufacturing building wall. The test
was boon to the engineers and in
stantly the construction of Overlook
as the village is known, was started.
1t stands to-day q worthy example
of American enterprise and inge nuity
and an asset which can be charged up

In the midst Of the field of war work
congestion. Houses were urgently
needed for the workmen making NUM-
tion chemicals. There was scarcity
OF ordinary building materials, and
transportation was a difficult matter,
even if these could be purchased.
Investigation showed that there
was an. ample supply close at hand of
crushed coal clnders, ordinarily con-
sidered a waste product, for making
cinder concrete. Samples were taken
and test blocks made, and the cinders

Tentative Assessments for Next Year Only 3 Per

Relief Needed for Mortgages

5000 to $3.50, or over 80 per cent. For
the same period new construction
started, in Manhattan, 28O plans for
$55,000,000 against las for $8,000,000,
an increase Of nearly go per cent; in
Brooklyn 7,100 new projects, for $751;
100000, against 2,400 for SIT, 900, an
increase of 800 per cent; in The Bronx
573 new undertakings for $14,000,000
to 165 for $3,625, 900, an increase Of
800 per cent.
1t is only in the mortgage branch Of
the market that the improvement has
not kept pace with the selling and
building. There has been no money for
large projects of construction, sucn as
flee and commercial buildings. At the
end of a years inquiries by one investi-
eating committee after another. the
fact is indisputably established that
the building of these classes of build
ings-the class of construction that
calls for large mortgage loans-is held
in bondage by the failure Of the mort
gage market, and that the failure Of
the mortgage market is the direct con-
sequence of the taxation of the income
derived from mortgages by the Federal
and state governments under their in
come tax laws.
Income From Mortgages
The consequences of thus shackling
the great building industry are clearly
stated by Otto Fl. Kahn, of Kuhn, Loeb
& Co., In his recent Memorandum a. to
Certain Aspects of the High Cost of
Living" wherein he says: "The hous-
ing famine and the resulting hardships
and higher rentals are due, in consider
able part, to the fact that the private
investor, generally speaking, has with
drawn from the field of real estate
mortgages, because they do not yield
him sufficiently attractive return, af-
ter taking into account the income tax. u
The housing famine is steadily grow
ing worse and Congress and the New
York State administration are both in
formed Of the fact that it must con-
tinue to grow worse until the income
tax burden is lifted from the mortgage
market. Other means of relief from
this uneconomic situation have been
sought, but all in vain.
Tax Exemption Claimed
The intern ediary agencies of the
borrowing builder and the mortgage
investor have calculated that if indi-
vldual investors arc permitted to hold
$4,000 worth Of mortgages free of tax
enough new money will come into the
market to enable builders to provide
the housing that is so greatly needed
and that can be provided in no other
way. Accordingly. they arc themselves
supporting and are urging everybody
else to urge upon Congress the enact
ment of the bill now before the Ways
and Means Committee of the House
that was introduced recently by Con-
gressman James C. Mclaughlin. of
Michigan. Congressman Joseph A.
Fordney, also of Michigan, is chairman
Of the Ways and Means Committee and
they ought to be made aware by letters
and petitions from the overburdene ed
tenant class in this city that they can
render no greater or more deserved
service to American families every
where than by promptly putting the
Mclaughlin bill on the statute books.
