CHECK ON UGLY
BUILDINGS IS
ADVOCATED
Los Angeles Regional Plan
Chairman Cites Big Losses
Due 10 UnWise Practices

Cities must act to check the
ruin of fine neighborhoodS by the
intrusion of ugly buildings, de-
clared Charles H. Cheney. of Los
Angeles. chairman of the commit
tee on city and regional planning
OF the American Institute of
Architects, who has been visiting
New York and other Eastern cities
following the sixty-third conven-
ton of the institute in Washing
ton. Cheney said:
give billion dollars worth of
new building was of this blight
ing character. Property values
are destroyed, cherished homes
abandoned, and neighbOrhOOdS
ruined by the erection of one or
more Off-cOlor, ugly or inappro-
priately designed buildings.
Every investor, every bank and
lender of money, every honest
home builder in our cities has
generally been at the mercy of
the careless, ignorant o. vicious
builder operating on the vacant
lot next door. Every vacant lot
in an unprotected neighbOrhOOd
today carries a threat of ruin to
its neighbOrs.
Great Econ nOmic Loss
This is the greatest economic
loss of our time, and one that
can and will be remedied as
as soon as investors, home
owners and the public gen.
er.lly learn how to protect
themselves. COngr SIS has
pointed the way in the Ship
stead bill by establishing archi
tectural control in Washington
under the police power. In an
other decade it is predicted that
some form of municipal control
over the design of private build
ingS will be as common as ZOn.
ing regulations now are. More
than SOC cities have established
coming in the last te~ years.
Architectural control of this
kind is not new. Santa Bar
bara. Calf, in 1925 to 1926 re,
quired that all plans for private
buildings be passed on by a
competent architectural board
of review, much as the Fine
Arts Commission acts for Wash.

than 1000 buildings of the best
old California style were erected.

do away with the board and

A great national advance to

seen by Cheney. This measure

CONSTRUCT CT|ON
! FALLS OFF ON
/: APARTMENTS
Reports Show Drop in 1929
Over 1928, But Ratio on In
diViduaI Dwellings Gains

According to building permit
reports received by the Bureau
Of Labor Statistics of the United
States Department of Labor from
g57 cities having a population
of $4,000 or over, there was q
slight decrease in the percentage
of homes provided for in new
apartment houses in 1929, as
compared with 1928.
In 1929 family accommodations
were provided in all classes OF
dwellings in these 257 cities for
244,197 families, while in 1928
provision was made for 388,67S
families. According to permits
issued in these cities during 1929
48.6 per cent of the families were
to be housed in apartment houses
and 400 per cent in one-family
dwellings. In 1923 53.7 per cent
were provided for in apartment
houses and only 35.2 per cent in
pne-family dwellings.
Percentage Gaining
During each of the last four
years more families have been
provided for in apartment houses
than in one-family dwellings in
these cities. This change in the
type of building is causing some
change in the building trades en-
ployed, with a larger proportion
of structural iron workers and
bricklayers. Further. it probably
has some effect on the sale Of
articles usually found in one type
of building and not in another
In the IA cities of the United
States having a population OF
100000 or over a much larger
proportion of families were
housed in apartment houses than
in cities having population OF
less than 100000. In these
larger cities 64.4 per cent of the
new family dwelling units fol-
which permits were issued during
the calendar year 1929 were ir
apartment houses and 25,3 pei
cent in one-family dwellings. In
New York $500 families were
provided for during the year 1929
OF this number SO per cent were
provided for in apartment houses
and only 1913 per cent in one
family dwellings. In the borough
of Manhattan 99.9 per cent o1
the families provided for during
1929 were to live in apartment
houses.
Baltimore is the outstanding
city in this population group ir
the erection of one-family dwell
ings. In the Maryland metropoli:
3,022 families were provided fol
in 1929 and 92.7 per cent were
in one-family dwellings. Pitts
burgh, Philadelphia and Cleveland
are the only other cities in thi'
group which provided more thar
one-half of their new dwelling
units in single family dwellings.
Ratio Is Shown
The table below shows the tota,
number of families provided fol
, in the 257 cities, 1921 to 1929
inclusive, and the percentage oi

lies provided for in each class OF
dwelling in each of the 257 cities

 There was an increase in the number of ono-residents hunting licenses sold during the wear In the fiscal wear ending June 3o. 1929, receipts from that source amounted to s4.500 and they increased to $6,- 900 last year.
