Not the least interesting feature If
Mr.. MacDougalFs move to solve tho
housing problem are his reasons for
going ahead at this time. when mos.

or another. Mr. MacDougall takes the
point of view that the cost of labor will!
be maintained indefinitely and NAV
even advance to higher levels than
those quoted to-day. He believes that
shortage of all kinds of materials will
have to be made good by costly labor
and that under the circumstances s;ncc

than recede.

PRACTICAL Builder, With Practical Plan, Starts
Solution OF Housing Problem at jackson Heights

1t is the practical builder, after all,
who is providing the solution of the
housing problem. Just as in every
branch of industry where problems
have arisen, practical, experienced men
are taking hold to unite the knots that
have been caused by unusual conditions
brought about by the war, just so it is
the man who for years past has been
supplying New York with it's needed
accommodations who again is coming
TO the front at this time Theories
without limit find expression on every
hand, butt while theories are being ex-
pounded and schemes mapped out on
paper it is the man who has made it
his business to solve these problems
who again is in the forefront with 81
practical demonstration.
Edward A. MacDougall, president of
the greensboro Corporation, is the
practical man in this instance who is
showing the way to other practical peo-
pie, and there seems to be little doubt
that if his plans are followed by other
builders who have helped to make New
York the great and wonderful city that
it is the housing problem soon will be-
come thing of the past Mr. Mac
Dougal's solution is to 90 ahead with
the construction of large grouD of
moderate priced apartment house. on
part of the great tract which his COM
pany owns at Jackson Heights, in the
Borough Of Queens.
10 these houses he is applying the
own Your Own Home" policy by put
ting into operation collective owner
ship plan for the sale of them. This
plan contemplates share in the owner
ship Of the house by each tenant, and
since such ownership requires but q
small cash payment and instruments
thereafter of only few dollars more
than the normal rent the solution of
the housing problem as supplied by Mr..
MacDougall is progressive, and after
once getting started depends for it's
success only on the willingness of the
tenant to share in a small way the re-
sponsibilities Of ownership.

day from $500 to 100000 profit
