HOUSING LACK
HEALTH MENACE
New York Health Officer
Sees Need for State
Housing Control.

The housing situation presents a
potential danger to every life in
New York City. The public health
IS menaccd and it is my conviction
that the official who is unhcedrul
of the situation is unworthy Of
public Office" Dr Royal :. Cope
land. health commissioner Of New
York, said recently in discussing
tn" present shortage Of dwellings.
Dr. Copeland announced his in
tention OF attending the special Ses-
sion of the legislature and urging
tn" immediate adoption Of Irgisla-
tion in an effort to relieve the pres
ent crisis
I'VE are the laughing stock OF
other nations because we fail to
act in the present housing situa-
t"n. the health commissioner said.
I'm our innocence VIC ina ginc that
pri'at capital will furnish the nee
"sarN money for the necessary
building. We should not waste
time performing experiments made
and remade in Europe. Every other
country in the world has been
forced t" admit that housing is a
health problem. and has delegated
authority to deal with il as well
as everything else.
Just take our warfare against
tuberculosis The campaign has
been successful. In 1856 there were
thiEtN-SIN "lSrs Cor every 10000. In
1919 there. were thirteen for every
10000. Tho results are due to i'm
proved conditions in housing. That
was the picture. What is it now?
Houses are 0vercrowded. insanitary
holes have been reopened and the
death rate of tuberculosis is sure to
be affected Europe today Is tccm-
ing with communicable diseases.
The city will build docks with
public money and will lease them
for private use. Would it be too
much to do the same thing with
houses?
The problem may be solved in
two ways:
by the construction of new
dwellings or by the renovation of
existing insanitary, i'll ventilated
and unhealthy NoId-law tenements,
so that they may be made places
fit to live in as contemplated b.
the reconstruction commission and

HOUSING BILLS

Legislative Action Caused
By Present Shortage of
Homes.

Some method of solving the short
age Of homes in New Jersey now is

Four housing bills have been in

power to adopt all means and
ordinances and to provide means
to protect tenants against unreason-
able and oppressive rents. This bill
would remain in effect until Janu-
ary l. 1928.

empts from taxation for FIVE years
from October l. 1920, all improve
