intervention of middlemen. The Asso-
citation had undertaken oad-building
contracts foY the Palestine Govern
ment. The contracts had been execut-
ed with efficiency and economy.
During 1922 the Association began
to train its members as building ope-
ratives and about 900 men have now
acquired skill as riasous, stone howcrs,
bricklayers, carpenters, plasterers,
and plumbers.
Many of these building operatives,
strangely enough, are women. Girls,
who have recently graduated from
college and high school, have left the
lands of their birth and are devoting
themselves to building up their an
cient Homeland with the work of their
hands, toiling as plasterers and brick
layers, or doing any kind of manual
labor which will help the country.
Thanks to the Keren Hayesod and
to the pioneer immigrants themselves,
a great deal has been accomplished
during the past two years, in meeting
the housing shortage in the Holy
Land. Rents have dropped consider
ably in consequence, being now less
than one-third of what they were two
years ago.
Besides the new suburbs which
have been built in the chief Palestin-
ian cities, and the business quarters
and Office buildings in Jerusalem,
Haifa, and Jafra, many new houses,
stables and barns have been erected
in the Jewish agricultural settlements.
The suburbs have been built in ac-
cordance with specially prepared town
plans and adequate provision has been
made for public places. The streets
are wide and the houses are modern
and in Tel-Aviv particularly, they
are provided with running water and
electric lighting. In every way the
new buildings are immensely superior
10 everything that has gone before
and are in marked contrast to the
antiquated Arab houses with which
the local population has been satisfied
hitherto.
Thus, the Keren Hayesod, in estab-
fishing the Mortgage Bank, has low
cred rents, blazed a path for profit
able private enterprise, opened re-
munerative channels for the invest
ment of Jewish capital and provided
employment for thousands of Jewish
immigrants. This it has done in ad-
dition to its other tasks in providing
the budget for the maintenance Of
sanitation, Hebrew education, agricul-
tural colonization, and caring for the
welfare Of the Jewish immigrants
arriving in the country.

THE MODERN SUBURBS AROUND
THE CITIES OF ANCIENT PAL LESTINE
How Jewish Pioneers and American Money Have Solved the
Housing Shortage in Palestine
by JUDGE BEI,NARD A. RosENBLATr

Around the ancient cities of Pal
estine, rich with the glamour of his
toric association and religious mem
ories, modern suburbs resembling
very closely those which spring up on
the outskirts Of American cities, are
now being built with increasing
rapidity.
These suburbs are housing the mod
ern Children Of Israel, who are again
turning to Palestine as their Land of
Promise, with the object of rebuilding
il into the modern Jewish National
Home. Incidentally, these suburbs,
which are being built around Jeru-
salem, Jaffa, Haifa and Tiberias, the
four largest cities of the land, are
helping to solve the housing problem
which made its appearance in Pal
estine after the War, as it did also
in practically every other country.
An additional point of interest in
connection with the building boom
which marks present day Palestine,
is the fact that the largest part of
the funds which, by means of mort
The Denver Jewish news., 1924-09-11

of Europe at the rate Of about 1000
month-in recent months the immi-
grafton has greatly exceeded that fig
ure. The congestion in the cities was
seriously aggravated by the arrival
Of the newcomers. For the most part
they were young men and women who
came from countries in which cur
rency was worthless, and could not,
therefore, find the money for provid-
ing themselves with housing.
In these circumstance, the Keren
Hayesod approached the Palestine
Government to authorize the estab-
lishment of banking institution
which would advance credits for
house-building. The Keren Hayesod
then established the General Mortgage
Bank Of Palestine, Limited, in which
it has invested about 100000 to date.
The shortage in skilled labor has
been partially solved by the forma-
tion in 1921 of Jewish Cooperative
Labor Association, the main purpose
of which was to undertake direct con-
tracts for public works, without the
