ALLEY DWELLINGS
DECLARED UNFIT
Speakers at National Mu-
scum Urge Conversion
to New Uses.

Elimination of Washingtons alley
dwellings and its obsolete and dilapi-
dated houses and the conversion of
such properties to new uses would
stimulate the residential construction
program here and improve economic
conditions generally.
Declarations to this effect were made
by John Ihlder, widely recognized hous-
ing expert, and other speakers who
addressed a meeting Friday night at
the National Museum which was spon-
sored by the Washington Council of
Social Agencies in cooperation with
the American Civic Association, the
District Home Economics Association,
Monday Evening Club and the Board
of Trade.
Other Speakers.
In addition to Mr. Ihlder, those who
spoke were Lieut.. Rhoda Millikin, chief
Of the Woman's Bureau of the Police
Department, and Mrs. Archibald Hop
kinS. Frederic A. Delano, chairman of
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission, presided.
The most important factor in pull
ing the country out Of the depression
of 1920-21 was home building" said
Mr.. Ihlder. House building TODAY
offers the best promise of renewed
activity on a scale large enough to set
things going again. That is why we
have so much talk about building cam
paigns and the home loan banks.
But there is a difference between
1921 and 1882. We had a shortage of
houses in 1921. whereas today we have
an apparent surplus. The word appar-
ent should be emphasized because part
of our seeming surplus, part of our
vacancies, are due to doubling up of
families. But much larger part of
the apparent surplus is composed of

dwellings that are unfit for habitation.
some are actually in dangerous condi-
ton. These houses. compete with and
prevent the erection of new houses.
Convert Obsolete Houses.
"Then there is another group OF
houses that are safe and sound, but
that are obsolete. The owners of such
houses are beginning TO realize that
they are liabilities and SO are tearing
them down or converting them to other
uses. The unsafe houses should be
condemned and demolished.
'@This will give work at wages. 1t will
remove the apparent surplus and so
open the way for new construction. In
some cities it is proposed to clear
whole areas of unfit and obsolete dwell
ings, so Kidding the community Of its
most expensive liabilities"
Lieut.. Milikin declared that Wash
ingtons alleys furnish an excellent ex-
ample of unfit housing. She related q
number of experiences illustrating the
increased difficulties encountered in en-
forcing law in these isolated communi-
ties.
Mrs. Hopkins. who for 20 years has
been urging elimination of Washing
tons inhabited alleys, expressed the
hope that citizens Of the National Cap
ital would open their eyes" to the
need of ridding the city of inhabited
alley dwellings. She pointed out the

Whenever a new open case of this

safety Of such family is to have the
tuberculous patient enter a hospital or
sanatOrium for proper care and treat

spread Of the disease" DR.. Fowler eau
toned.
The expressed purpose of the Com
