INFORMATION
On HOUSING
Ascertain the Kind of Buildings
Wanted---Reports Com
ing in

What this city needs Is an epidemic,
a big epidemic of building, and until
the building fever takes place here tine
housing conditions "a be little better
than they are today. 1t Is useless to
talk of bringing new industries here
until there is some place in which to
house the men and women necessary
to work in them. The government
has recognized this fact and with the
aid of the Board OF Trade is now
carrying on a housing nvas
The girls of the War Camp Com
.munity service have been drafted in
the anvas and are spending an hour
or more each day visiting the various
sections of h city, asking questions
of the people living in all sections, and
in this way ~endeavoring to learn just
what h housing conditions are. 1t
was estimated at vthe organization
meeting of the canvass worke that
there were but three or four vacant
houses in the city, and but few vacant
rooms, and the canvass is being carried
on in an effort to learn just how many
of these accommodations there are.
Perhaps the main feature of the
campaign is the question being asked
of each person, IL they are thinking of
purchasing or building a house. In
this way 1t is hoped to obtain some
idea of the demand for homes among
the people of the city. They are also
questioned concerning the style and
price of home they are willing to pur-
chase and when the canvass is COM
pleted it is expected that this data will
be of much value in furnishing infor-
nation to any person or company
which may be planning or may plan in
the future to erect a series of houses
or residences here.
1t is thought that the canva win
extend " a period of ten days. dur
ing which time the girls will report
their findings to Miss Roberta Winans.
the secretary in charge of h canvass,
who in urn will report to the Board
of Trade, where a complete file will be
kept, which will aid those seeking liv-
ing quarters to obtain them. Several
of the reports have already been re-
ceived and it is more than likely that
large numbers of them will be received
within the course of the next few days.
