may be combated with the fact that
compulsion enters the scheme. Local
authorities. as compared with our
city and country governments, are
required to submit and carry out ad-
eQuate schemes to provide the nee
essary housing. Legal compulsion
may be q resort upon the failure Of
OF municipalities. These corpora
tions may also take slum areas and
pay only for the land There is also
legal compulsion effecting the re-
modelling or entire abolition Of the
degraded districts. All out of town
authorities must submit their specf-
fcations previous to January 1. 1926.
Question OF Loans.
The solution to the loans OF the
municipalities lies in the issue Of
bonds in denominations down to $40
Cor f5). The rate OF interest is
xed by law at per cent.
The mode Of construction, while
subject, as the plan. to adverse crit
icism by some. provides for a build

beauty, and exemplify much Of the
charm associated with the English

OF light and air. add to the desirs-
bility. The rents vary from s1.7o 10
