AMERICAN FRAME
NUTS" FOR ITALY
Possible Solution of Housing
Problem by Municipality
of Milan.

The municipality of Milan Is now
examining offers from several Ameri-
can firms 10 supply wooden huts for
homes for the labering masses. The
house famine Is rs acute as ever n
Is further complicated by lack Of con-
crete. brick and other building mate
rial, to say nothing of overland trans
port difficulties. In fact, II Is easier
and quicker to ship huts from Amer
ica to Genoa than thence by rail to
Milan.
Italian labor does not take kindly
TO wooden huts. 1t prefers brick or
stone. and public authorities also find
stone better In districts where the
peoples habits are very unhygienic.
But American huts have the great
advantage of being cheap, solid and
easily fixed, and have stood the test
OF hard usage In Messina, Ayexxano
and other districts where entire VII
lagos were destroyed By earthquake.
American business enterprise will find
fun scope in this direction, for thou
sands of cheap homes are urgently
needed all over The country.
The Italian government has as yet
assigned only Ss.000,000 to meet the
cost of putting up homes now but rs
this sum will not even cover the needs
Of devastated districts. other grants
viii certainly be made.
Housing conditions meanwhile grow
daily worse. rehabilitation swells
the city populations. In Milan more
people are now sleeping in the open
than a week ago. In Rome. with that
indifference to facts which too often
marks municipalities all the world
over. the authorities have Just demol-
ished several rabbit Narrens which,
bad a. they were. gave shelter to q
large number of families.
The consequence is that some forty
families. averaging ten members each.
have absolutely no roofs OYER their
heads At all.
