HOUSE CONDITIONS ALARMING

This nation is face to face with the
greatest house shortage that it has
ever experienced. Housing condi-
tions in email western cities and
towns are bad enough but in the
large cities, conditions are alarm
ing.
In New York City the housing
situation is in such shape that pub
lie action is becoming necessary. In
one square block there are 10000
persons In one square mile there
are 100000 persons. There are
many apartments of three rooms In
which twelve persons are living.
Such conditions are a menace to
public health and morals. Rents
are exorbitant and the money paid
out at present rates would in few
short years pay for a good home.
The Health Commissioner of New
York says that conditions such as
exist in New York today are apt to
result in cholera II they are not
checked.
AS demand for labor in the cities
slackens and as conditions become
more normal there will be a move
ment to the smaller towns and this
country will undoubtedly see the
greatestt home building campaign
during the next five years, that 1t
has ever experienced.
