SHORTAGE Of CARS
PARTLY TO BLAME
FOR LACK OF HOMES
Cooperation With Railroads
Urged to Help Solve the
Difficult Housing Problem.

Daniel willard, President Of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railway, outlined
to the Reconstruction Committee OF
the United States Senate, OF which
Senator william NJ. Calder is chair
man, a plan for the relief of short
housing conditions in this city at
meeting of the committee held in THE
rooms of the American Society of
Mechanical. Engineers, No. 20 West
39th Street, to-day.
Mr.. Willard, in response 20 ques-
ton put by Senator Calder, who had
previously announced that New York
will be short from 10000 to 14O, ,0OU
homes next winter, admitted THAT, the
housing shortage is probably due to a
considerable extent to the shortage OF
railroad cars.
The housing shortage, Mr. willard
said, is acute in all large cities.
Building OF apartments and dwellings
languishes because the railroads, un-
der existing circumstances are unable
to ship building materials in quanti-
ties TO the cities. This has resulted in
steady and unprecedented rise in
the cost of such materials.
Mr.. Willard suggested that the City
Of New York appoint a competent
committee to make a thorough survey
OF the housing situation. From this
survey the committee could determine
| just what neutrality-suspicious.
| dwellings, schools and hospitals are
needed and approximately the guam
! tity and kind OF materials needed for
necessary construction work.
The committee, Mr.. Willard sug
gested, could report the result of its
| inVesytis alton 70 committee OF rall-
road executives which is dealing with
the housing situation under the
Chairmanship of William II. Trucs-
dale, President of the d. L. & w.
Railroad Through cooperation, Mr..
Willard said, a special effort could We
made TO deliver in New oYrk suffi-
cent supplies of building materials
to warrant a start in the construction
of necessary housing.
Mr.. Willard said the present cat
shortage is one Of the results OF a Dri
ority order issued last spring by the
Interstate Commerce Commission
when all open or box freight cars
were assigned TO the job of haullna
coal to the northwest and New Eng
land, to relieve the fuel shortage. The
railroads, he said, have been unable
as yet to readjust conditions result
ing from this priority order whicn
cohgested the open or box cars in Ger
tain sections Of the country from
which they had TO be returned empty
He said the railroads had maded spc
cial efforts this summer to move
building materials to large cities, Dut
the bulk Of the material Transported
is for use in the erection OF busines,
