HOME PROBLEM SERIOUS HERE
10000 New Houses Needed, Says
Operative Builders Association

Fully 10000 new houses are needed
to solve the serious housing problem in
this city, according to the Philadelphia
Operative Builders Association.
This alleged shortage of homes, and
the statement that average building
costs are now 65 per cent more than
in 1915 are advanced as arguments
against the Walker bill. aimed at rent
profiteering in this city.
The walker bill provides that when a
rental increase regarded as excessive
Is demanded the tenant may appeal to
the courts. Pending a judicial decision,
the tenant is required to pay only the
old rental and is secure from eviction.
The kernel of the housing problem,
according to the builders, is that rental
values have not increased in proportion
to the costs OF construction and that
builders therefore hesitate 10 erect new
dwellings,
