r. For the Good of the Community

I11O NULL OA11lL " EACING conditions that are seriously retarding the growth of practically every American city and placing heavy burden that portion of the popula ton that must rent two cities at least have adopted plans for partially overcoming the house shortage.
 Paterson N J has entered upon a programme of municipal building and ownership of dwellings, and in Chicago cooperative building and ownership plan is being tried out.
 Under the Paterson plan the city will build homes at moderate cost and either rent or sell them able terms In Chicago the plan provides for joint ershp of apartment building the apartments to be occupied by the who jointly finance the prop osition.
 Paterson has not been model which other cities might copy to advantage For instance 1t has been the hotbed of anarchists in the past and few other things might be mentioned it's possessions that other communities would not to have but whether the municipal housing plan be adopted by other cities not the scheme is worthy of study in that it s fort tending to provide homes for it's citizens.
 Of the Paterson plan, Lumberman, journal devoted to the interests of lumber manufacturers and dealers for February 23 says:
 Paterson is just as short of homes proportonately speaking any other city in the country and finding no active efforts upon the part of individual collec others to Dulld the neeQeQ nOeS the city is going to undertake the job itself Furthermore the homes to be built will be of the right kindin vdua homes-not tenements Something over 200 such homes have been contracted for and the money has been appropriated to pay for them" 7ss@a
 The Chicago plan, as described by The Daily News of that city provides for the joint ownership of for m stance hgh-class six-room apartment flat building in desirable residence district each of the six joint CTS having the exclusive right to the occupancy of oft TO danvd hat arise among the landowners over the management of the property trustee provided for, who will repre- sent all the owners and have entire charge of the building
 Of this plan The Chicago News says:
 "Since modern conditions apparently make it inevit able that large percentage of the population of any great community must live in apartments, 1t IS desr able that practicable plan be found to reconcile this necessity with the natural desire of most families to possess home and with the interest which the city has in increasing to the utmost the number of home The unit plan is in the stage of interesting experiment and we'll worth trying out when all conditions found to be favorable.
 No city in the nation is in need of houses or apartments than Birmingham and none seems slower in starting building programme. Relatively fewer houses have been built in Birmingham since the begin ming of 1919 than in any other southern city of sequence Why Birmingham people are not willing to buildings are going up by the hundreds is hard to under stand.
