IMPROVEMENTS AID
/ IDLE OF 3 CITIES.
Campaign Stimulates Trade
and Results in Raising of
Housing Standards.

By means Of campaigns for home
Improvement, 80 American cities ef-
fectively reduced local unemployment
and succeeded in stimulating trade last
year, while at the same time raising
housing standards.
Attention was called to this fact
today in an announcement that the
Presidents Conference on Home Build
ing and Home Ownership had set up
a national clearing house for informa-
ton on reconditioning of the home and
on community campaigns designed for
that purpose.
A continuing conference Committee
on reconditioning, Remodeling and
ModerniZation, under the chairman
ship of Frederick M. Feiker, director
Commerce, has been organized for this
educational work.
The committee is prepared to furnish
information to help home owners make
repairs wisely and economically and
also to furnish plans for campaigns
based on the successful experience of
cities such as Muncie, Ind; Pawtucket,
r. l.. and Greensboro, N. c.
The campaign in Muncie. a city of
approximately $4,000 population and
l 900 homes, increased employment in
the building trades from 80 per cent
to 80 per cent last year, caused a
third of a million dollars to be spent
on needed improvement and measurably
increased the general morale as well
as the appearance of the city. Com
parable results were obtained in Paw
tucket, city Of $4,000. The expendi-
ture there amounted to $750,OOO
Greensboro spent nearly 100000 on
the improvement of its homes and
largely solved its unemployment problem
Home improvement campaigns -ap-
pear to offer every community a con-
structive means of helping itself" said
Mr.. Feiker in announcing the reorgani-
Zation of his committee. They supply
work and create trade, they are busi-
ness activities and not appeals for
charity. they cost little and they pay
man who puts his home in repair gains
triply-in physical comfort. in pride OF
possession and in improved property
value. Our committee estimates the
annual waste resulting from property
depreciation and obsolescence in this
country at $4,000 600, 900.
