Editors Note-Walter F. Dodd, an
attorney of Chicago, was selected as
general chairman of the Public Com
mittee of Fifty on Housing when that
organization was formed November 80,
1921. The committee began an investi-
cation into the housing problem not
only in Chicago but throughout the
United States. 1t was from this inves-
tigation that Mr.. Dodd drew the con-
illusions he presents herewith.

During the war little building was
done. With the termination Of the
war it was apparent that there was a
great shortage Of places in which
people could live. This shortage has
led % a continued high level of
rentals and to an o~vercrowding Of peo-
pie to the detriment of life and health.
Movements in New York, Massa-
chusetts, Illinois and other states for
the regulation Of the rental of dwelling
premises have to some extent met a
temporary emergency situation, and
restricted ~prOfiteering upon the part
of landlords who have enjoyed a tenn
porary monopoly. Rental legislation
has, however, been a mere makeshift.
The only permanent solution for the
housing situation is the construction
of more houses. A permanent high
cost of dwelling construction and a
permanent domination of the situation
by dishonest labor men and dishonest
material men must be met in order
that a new period of dwelling construc-
ton may begin.
The cost Of living is gradually ad,
justing itself with respect to other
items Of expense, but the reduction
as to other items is still in many
communities more than offset by the
high rate of rental. In the city OF
Chicago and in many other large
urbaa communities it now appears
that rents are likely to go higher
rather than be reduced in the near
future.
The building situation in all Of the
larger communities Of the country is
now handicapped by combinations OF
material men which maintain the
price Of building material; by leader
ship in the unions of the building
trades of corrupt and incompetent
leaders, and by restrictive agree
ments among material men, labor or
CARNATIONS and contractors, which
increase the price Of building con
struction. The Lockwood Commits
sion in New York and the Daley
Commission in Illinois have done
something to expose conditions in the
building industry in the cities Of New
York and Chicago. However recent
developments appear to indicate that

could easily be made. So not only
could the bridge be built at Rich
mond at a much less expense, but it
could be kept in repair with small
er expenditure.
On the matter Of mileage by rail-
road, it is contended that if the
Maine Central should build a track
from Wiscasset to Dresden. dis
the bridge to Richmond connecting
with the main track there. 25 miles
would be caved for central Maine
folks going by rail to Rockland and
people Of Rockland and vicinity COM
ing to central Maine. And the dis
lance from Rockland to Portland
would not be much further by the
way of Richmond, it measuring 80
miles that way as compared with
81 miles by the way of Bath. 1t is
pointed out that the railroad location
from Wiscasset to Dresden was Or
iginally selected by the Knox and
Lincoln railroad, which later aban-
doned the plan and employed the
ferries at Bath, and that the loca-
ton has been surveyed three times
by railroad companies for a site.
There is now a first class gravel
highway between Wiscasset and
Dresden. This, with the bridge
completed, would make a fine road
connecting Wiscasset and Rockland
with the trunk highway at Rich
mond Corner.
There is considerable feeling in
Richmond that that would be the
proper place for the new bridge to
be located. The PROJECT is endorsed
by the Richmond Chamber Of Com
merce, of which H. E. Houdlette is
the president. DR.. Wallace n. Price
Of Gardiner, formerly Of Richmond.
is very much interested in the prop
osition and has given it considerable
study. There are many indications
that the Richmond contention will
be brought before the Legislature
when the bridge matter is consid-
cred.

RICHMOND SlTEF0R BRIDGE
ACROSS THE kE NNEbEC RIVER
is FAVORED BY MANY PEOPLE

Opposition to the project Of the
Kennebec Bridge Association for a
bridge across the Kennebec river at
Bath, is likely to develop from a
new source when the matter comes
UP for the consideration of the Leg
islature. 1t now appears that Bath
is not the only municipality along
the river that wants the bridge To-
cation--that people Of Richmond are
DESTROYS Of having the bridge con-
structed there and that a bill to that
effect may be introduced in the Leg
islature.
Richmond folks base their claim
upon the contentious that the river
at that point offers many more ad-
vantages for the bridge construction
and therefore that the bridge could
be built there at considerable less
expense than at Bath; and second,
that the people Of Rockland and VIC
Unity coming by railroad to tho State
Capital and other places In central
Maine and people Of central Maine
travelling by rail to Rockland would

should be located at Richmond.
First it is pointed out that the
river at Richmond is only about
one fourth as wide as at Bath.
where it is over half mile across.
Not over two piers would be neces-
sary if the bridge should be construc-
ted at Richmond and these could be
erected much more easily than at
the proposed location at Bath. At
