EARL OF TIARROWBY SUGGESTS
PLAN TO REDUCE LIVING COST
English Economic Expert Would Establish
Separate Communities, With Ample
Garden Spaces, Near Large Cities.

Establishment near large cities of
separate communities, relatively small
and I'm which every house would have
ample garden space, is the suggestion
of the Earl of Harrowby. English
landowner and economic expert, for
reducing congestion In the. cities and
affording large parts of the popula-
ton means of lowering the cost of
living.
Such garden cities" already are be-
Ing planned and built near many of
the larger cities of England. Lord
Harrowby says, and the plan sug-
gested less than two years ago al
IIsauy mas proven successful. Lord
narrowly Ia now in the United States
investigating housing and other con-
t Il,!ons IN this country and the means
Delns discussed or adopted to over
come them.
Cost OF building Increased.
with other things, Lord Harrowby
declared In an interview a few days
ago. cost OF building in all parts of
england has increased at least 800 per
zen. tt over pre-war years. Builders In
tnle country estimate that the In
creased cost. taking the country as
whole, for the United States has
been about It's to 200 per cent.
The English landowner also says
mat English builders have abandoned
the plan of building houses in long,
SOLD rows. and have adopted in its
place the plan of building economical,
put comfortable. sanitary and pleas
fhgly designed and constructed indi.
vidual homes. either for rent or Tor
sale. each house standing on its own
grounds. with ample air and light ell
around. and with plenty Of ground for
gardening. Arrangement and plan
ming Of such garden cities 10 de-
scribed In his interview.
Lord HarrOwby's Views.
We have seen what these garden
cities are doing in England" said
Lord Harrowby. "and l am anxious
to tell those interested in the hous-
Ing problem what we have done to
save the situation
Our housing situation is as bad
as yours-perhaps a little worse, as
we are short 100000 houses in Eng
land. but we have begun the work In
earnest and are hoping to solve our
diff1culties. I believe that we have

not proceed This accounts in large
measure for the indifference OF many
contractors to figure building opera
tions. There Is a movement on FOOT
to request the architects to call In

present cost Of material and shipping
conditions before requesting general
estimates on new work.

solved some difficulties by the estab-
lishment of the garden cities.'
Lord Harrowby; who Is banker
as well as great landowner. has
taken a great interest In England's 8
problem, and has been a member of
several housing committees. There
have been many schemes and build
Ing enterprises, he said, but England
is facing the situation of building
houses which cannot bring their eco
nomic rent. owing to the high cost
of labor and material. Houses have
increased In price more than 500 per
cent since the war, he said-that is,
building material and labor have In
creased In price. Rents in England
are regulated by the government, and
may not be placed above certain
figure. Therefore, property owners
are facing certain loss if houses are
built for the purpose of renting.
High Land Prices a Factor
Lord Harrowby believes the high
price of land has great bearing upon
the housing situation, and suggests
that blocks Of land six or seven miles
from the city be bought and devel-
oped, each block of land bought in
this way being made into a separate
community. connected to the city by
means Of steam or electric transper-
tation.
Our garden cities" continued Lord
Harrowby, ARE not built in straight
rows of houses. as In city streets, but
the houses are placed irregularly,
each with it's garden. For example,
we build curving or crescent-shaped
road. with village green in the CEN
ter of the curve. The houses are
placed along the road at intervals.
some near the road, some back in
their gardens. The whole district is
regarded az a unit, and the roads are
or paved, and the walks laid
out as part of the general scheme.
Before beginning the work we
have complete city plan, and we do
not change 1t in any way. The estab-
lishment of Fairgrounds for the chill
dren 10 considered Of the greatest I'm
portance. az we'll as a public meeting
house or recreation hall. in which the
meetings and entertain
ments can be held. The houses are
built after plans which differ as much
as possible in detail, yet which are
practically the same price. Some Of
them have larger gardens than 9TH
ers. 1t IL true. as some men like to go

into gardening on a larger scale than
others, and, in some instances, the
women are gardeners themselves. We
have found that spirit of friendly
rivalry begins with the dwellers in
these suburbs; they try to surpass
in ffrst-class order and in keeping
their gardens green. We have found
that the gardens furnish SO many
green vegetables that the cost of liv-
ing Is materially reduced to the man
who plants his own garden.
Gives Play Spaces for Children.
'"rhere is the added attraction that
children have large places for play /;
they may run about like country chill
dren, and at the same time may go
to school on the car every morning and
back again In the afternoon I am con-
f1dent If such suburb should be built
