UNCLE SAMCLASSED
LANDLORD
4,785 Wartime Homes for
Workers Entail Aggregate
Loss Of $50, 600, 900.

Uncle Sam may not be a financial
success as landlord, but he seems soft
hearted and his tenants all swear by
him.
Figures just compiled by the United
States Housing Corporation show there
are 4,785 homes scattered over the
country as result of Uncle Sans war;
time building program, but 1t is esti-
mated that the Government is about
$50, 000, 900 on the red side of the ledger
as result.
OF the 5000 homes for Government
workers which it was decided to finish
at the time Of the armistice, and sell,
preferably to the workers, there is O
balance yet to pay of 81 ,826,273. There
are 1915 homes still to be liquidated.
Though 1t may stand a financial loss,
the venture will 60 down in history as a
great success from an altruistic point
of view.
Provided for $4,000 Workers.
Twenty-Five thousand workers were
provided during the war with comfort
able, homelike living quarters. Six thou
sand modern frame homes costing from
$4,000 to $1,000 and designed by the
hest architects have been bought or are
in process Of being bought from the
Government. From 10 to is years are
allowed for payment.
Uncle Sam has been a lenient land
lord. He has not ousted tenants though
the payments have lapsed, If he finds
the circumstances warrant clemency.
Mrs. Lulah T. Andrews, director of
the United States Bureau of Housing
and Transportation, often makes trips
herself to see tenants on the verge of
losing their homes through sickness or
lack of employment Plans are some-
times worked out by which they are
enabled to pull through and keep their
homes.
Listed rs Wartime Measure.
The Government home building pro-
gram was wartime measure launched

gress appropriated $100, 900 900 to pro-
