LACK OF ROOM ALARMS

LACK OF ROOM ALARMS

II Is not only the aim OF the housing
committee OF the Governors Rsconstruc-
ton Commission. OF which Abran I.
EIkus Is chairman. to obtain tho adop-
,,on OF a plan which will remedy the
nresent lack Of facilities here. but also to
make certain that the now dwellings
will be OF a character which can be
AFFORDED by the poor and which will not
result In lowering the American stand

being conducted by the commission
many important facts which bear direct
" upon the aims sought have been
brought to light. Agents of the COM
ALL and these contain about $4,000 apart
nents which furnish homes for between
u.s. 900 and 100000 persona
II has already been developed by the
survey, according to Mr. Elkus. that few
vacancies exist at present in livable
houses In innumerable instances fam
lies have been found crowded together
in dark, Ill smelling apartments. unable
t. hnd other quarters. Most OF the
vacancies are in the italian quarters of
the East Side where the old, dark tene-
ments are reported to be In such an
abeminable state that no one can Be In
duced TO live in them.
IN one block in the Sixties on the
East Side" said Mr.. Elleus, there were
found to be but three vacancies in s65
apartments. and this despite the fact
Sac apartments were found In bad repair
snd rents had been increased. It was
found that most of the tenements. both
here and elsewhere. were occupied by
people who were afraid to complain for
fear that their rents would be raised or
that they would be dispossessed.
Rooms Too Bad to Use.
Brooklyn blocks had every apartment
taken. although there were no dumb
walters and ashes and coal had to be
carried up and down FIVE flights Of
stairs. The rents here had been raised,
too In this block the vacancies were
in old tenements without care. In GER
tain instances the roofs leaked and
there was no light in the halls at night.
The rooms In the vacant apartments are
dark and in many cases damp.
"A few years ago, on account OF the
ortrsupply Of housing. the tenants
we're in control Of the situation. Now
the tables have turned. The landlord is
the master. If he is kind hearted he
will not raise the rent Of those who are
TO poor to pay and he will see that tho
conditions under which they live are at
least not unclean. II he lacks interest
he can raise the rents to practically any
extent that he desires and let his apart
ments fall into n disreputable condition,
IN which so many OF those visited by the
Investigators Of the housing committee
found them.
"one thing that has been emphasized
very strongly by the surveys Is the i'm
portance of proper management. In
considering the different types of man.

probably there are more bad conditions

LONDON SERVANTS

nm HERE is, seemingly, no wage
earning class in America not
* paid as we'll as or better than
the same class is paid in any other
country in the world.
The classified advertisements in the
London Times reveal the conditions OF
employment for the domestic servant
class The frequency of advertisements
for Lady cook" Lady nurse" Lady
housemaid" just after the war enoeo
indicated a scarcity of persons avail
able for domestic service. The decreas-
ing number of such advertisements
conveys the suggestion that the plan OF
solving the problem, which seemed
hopeful. is not working out as well as
had been hoped, but from the wages
offered it is plain that scarcity OF serv-
ants in London has not brought pay to
as high level as that which Louis
