II EAL ESTATE NOTE Two
IN new homes are being con-
structed on White river bank
along Squatter avenue. They are
to be built of tin, junk-pile metal,
and 'bummed' boards. The addi-
ton, known as Evicted Haven, has
nine families on the west bank of
the river and four on the east
bank. The new jewellers expect to

But of course this realty item"
isn't. 1t isn't even a city brief.
But it is one way the unem-
ployed of the city have found in
which to obtain free rent.
Drive across the Oliver avenue
bridge and look northward along
the river bank and you'll see
Squatter avenue, with new exca-
vations of homes going up weekly.
Paths worn through weeds serve
as sidewalks for the PuebloS of
Poverty.

The ventilating system Of the
tin house is ample. If windows do
not suffice the holes in the roof
permit the stars and the rain to
come through.
And if it rains too hard we just
go down underneath the railroad
viaduct until it clears up" one
dweller explained.
"Crawdaddies," delicacy of the
days when foam was foam and
lunches were really free, have
come back into their own as addi-
tions to the food bags provided by
the township trustees.
In fact the "crawdaddies" estab-
liShed themselves on the menu
without being asked.
Cliff pioneers explain this in
vasion thus:
"The crawdadS ate the fish we
fished for and so there was moth
ing to do but eat the crawdads.
You get lots Of them if you like
them and they do vary the meals"

postage stamps and smaller than
billboards, clean, while others per-
sist in letting weeds have their
own way.
Baths are no problem after
night falls. The rivers a good
tub if you get near the rock rapids.
Each new resident of the addi-
ton receives a generous quota of
advice from the "oldSters" on how
to be happy though evicted, the
number of iron and tin cans need
ed to wall and roof their domicile,
and the best place to put the
stovepipe in case of windstorms.
The worst problem confronting
the cliff jewellers" during the hot
months is how to keep the heat
drawing metal roofs from baking
them into Vienna loaves.

front yard as roof cooling de-
vice.
Dogs and children are popular
in the addition. Mudpie making,
tossing pebbles into the river, and
hunting crawf1sh, form the play
ground sports.
AS for philosophy or politics
they blame it all, even the fish
eating "crawdads," on the Repub-
lcans, the Democrats, the welfare
societies, and the township trus-
tees.
