LIVE SQUATTER
 STYLE AROUND
 NEW YORK CITY

New York, Oct 4.-Within a rad- jus of fifty miles of New York every highway and byway is dotted with ana snfs eaei1S broaend2wn shasks homeless. Like boom town in the pioneer days, thousands of families have been driven into open fields to seek shelter in ever increasing col onies of squatters.
 Troughtout the mild summer months living under such conditions was bearable,if not up to the comfort or flat in Harlem, but when the nrst frost sets in, according to Dr. Royal s. Copeland, Commissioner of Health. suffering from cold and ex- posture, with it's inevitable sequence. disease, is sure to come. These squatter families cannot return to the city because there is no room for them.
 At the present moment" Dr. Copeland said the other day. i've have 100000 families crowded into homes for 100000; two, sometimes three, families living together in one family apartment. It is needless to say this condition is a manace to the public health and morals.
 Furthermore, one has only to drive out from the city in any direc- ton to find the roads lined with tents, shacks and cabins of the most dila pi- dated sort occupied by families who have no other place to go. When cold weather sets in their suffering will be deplorable. and even if build ing of dwellings begins at once there is no hope of refuge for them until next spring at least
 Unless some provision is made to prohibit nonessential building we could not build tenements here if we wanted to, because contracts pending for the erection of new commercial buildings exceed in value any other period in the history of the city. We are like a pioneer town.
 The commercial building contracts will absorb all our material and labor and all our transportation facilities. Any programme of legislation that does not provide dwellings to be built is incomplete. The housing problem laboring man and all the available steel, 'stone, bricks and lumber.
 "I think in exercising the powers of the housing commission common sense should prevail, however. I do not mean nothing but houses should be built. But I do believe the appli- cation for every permit to construct a commercial building, monumental residence for a private individual, theatre or anything except buildings for housing groups of persons, should be thoroughly considered by the authorities, and unless shown to be commercially of actual advantage to permitted.
 Not only are houses too few, but inspectors of the Health Department find hundreds of families living in quarters absolutely unsuited for hab- ftation. They find Ieaky- roofs, de- places infested by rats and vermin occupied by human beings which con- etitute a crime against decency and humanity"
