INVESTORS HELLO
bLAMELESS IN
HOUSING CRISIS.
Subgroup on Finance Offers
Report, Which Is Rejected
BY Whole.

The subcommittee on finance OF
the Commissioner housing com.
mittee presented report yesterday
absolving local financial institutions
and investors from all blam. for
any housing shortage. William
Deane Ham. member Of the commit.
tee, presented a minority report
which was. in effect, a denial OF
the majority report.
I'VE have unquestionable evi.
dence," said Mr.. Ham, ito prove
that large numbers Of financing
companies and still a larger num-
Der Of individuals are reaping an
unconscionable profit through the
discounting of second mortgages"
The housing committee, which was
meeting in the District building when
the reports were presented, refused
to accept the views Of either the ma
jority or minority. The reports were
sent back to the subcommittee with
instructions to report ION the finan.
cial situation specifically and not
with generalities."
Chairman Thomas Bones presented
the majority report. 1t pointed out
that a building boom is now on. The
committee reported that the financial
support Of the local housing situation
was keeping its pace fairly well In
the work now going on.
Mrs. Eli Helmick, chairman OF
the general committee is far from
pleased with conditions here. She
declared that she has been shocked
IL. IIl ta.tr
yealed to the committee in an indi.
rect way since it had started It's
investigation.
Subcommittee are expected to
have all reports complete by the,
end of this week. At this time the
general committee will begin the
work of framing it's report.
A resolution urging the commits.
sloners to oppose the proposed con-
gressional action would permit the
extensions of the lines of railways
operating into the District from
the location to which they are now
confined. 1t was suggested that
this extension might augment
housing difficulties.
Other reports were submitted by
DR.. John NJ. Cries. head of the sub.
committee on prices of material, who
said he was experiencing great diff.
ficulty in gathering data; Charles A.
Baker, of the labor committee, who
blamed labor leaders for the high
cost Of labor in construction; Mr.
Ham. for the committee on land;
John Ihlder. for the committee on
general survey; Frank Upman, for
the committee on construction prac'
tices. and c. Clinton James, for the
committee on rents and legislation.
