HOUSING COMMITTEE
UNDER DISCUSSION
OF G. OF G. COMMITTEE

At the annual meeting of the Cham
bef of Commerce last week the
housing problem" was one of the
topics under discussion, and was in
terestipgly handled by j. ", Mccoy,
chairman of the committee appoint
ed to cover that line of the Cham
ber's activities. While no definite
plans have been reached in regard TO
meeting the demands of summer tour
lists and newcomers who are already
making extensive inquiries into liv-
ing conditions in Ashland, the mat
ter has been brought most forcibly
to the Chamber of Commerce that
the housing problem must be met
and that right soon.
The cOncensus OF opinion has been
reached by the housing committee
OF the Chamber that modern
apartment is one OF the most vital
needs for Ashland. This seems to be
the most available project to answer
the great demand for houses and liv-
ing apartments, and the committee
has been making extensive investl-
cations into various projects of other
cities to learn how they are handling
the demand for houses.
klamath Falls has in measure sol
we'd the housing problem by forming
u housing corporation as a depart
ment of its Chamber of Commerce.
This corporation has been establish
ed on COMMUNICATIVE basis with
a special committee appointed to in
yestigate the local situation. After
holding a number of group meetings.
as well as consulting many outside
organizations, the committee was
given authority to form corpora
ton which has already extensive sub
scrlbers, and is managed by practical
business men of the city.
This city has by this means already
a large number of houses in various
degrees OF planning for construction,
and expect to materialize ? corpora
tion that will answer practically all
the demands for houses Of certain
kinds, principally those usually I'M
demand by renters, who come to a
city for a more or less extended So
journ.
Other housing plans have been re-
ceived by the local Chamber of Com
merce housing committee. Among
these is the description Of fine
apartment house recently completed.
also in klamath Falls. This was
built with the view TO giving their
tenants the benefit OF all the modern
cQnveniences that delight the apart
ment dwellers OF today.
Every built-in convenience known
TO modern .apartmen builders is
there, including disappearing beds, |
ironing boards and tables, kitchen
cabinets, bureaus, dressers, china
closets and innumerable clothes clos
cts. The kitchen equipments include
stoves. stationary wash tubs ,
and sinks.
Perfect operating air shafts with
perforated shelves take the place of
ordinary refrigerators. The build
ng provides twelve apartments, and
S so arranged that a top floor may
,e erected at any time, airing twelve
more apartments.
These are only tentative sugges-
ions to the Chamber of Commerce
which have been secured by the hous-
ng committee, but everything along
his line that has a practical tenden-
y toward solving the housing prob
EN- that confronts Ashland at pres
mt will be gathered and inyestigat-
d with interest.
