considerable areas. It calls for the
full cooperation Of the municipal au-
thorities.
The plan has the following objectives:
l. To find the kind of people who
want to live in the district.
2. To work out rehabilitation as a
commercial not a philanthropic propo-
sition.
8. To arouse local public opinion and
public spirit, so that the people them
selves take action or participate in the
action.
4. To consider the present inhabi-
tants of the district and those who
might be induced to return there to
live.
S. To consider the earning power Of
these people.
6. To establish housing plans that
would hit proper cost for the average
income Of that type.
Z. To find buildings suitable and fit
to be rehabilitated and secure eventual
removal Of those that are beyond repair.
8. To change the neighborhood from
an agglomeration to a community.

Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds.
Both of these measures involved a
basic change in contractural relations.
Harding declares, while the field Of &C
tivities of neither of the committees
give them the proper background to
deal with questions from the viewpoint
of the entire industry.
He also states that the original
Bacon-Davis prevailing wage" law,
roverning the scales of wages paid to
mechanics employed on Government
construction projects, emanated from
the Senate Committee on Manufac-
lures, whereas the Metcalf amendment
to the measure subsequently was re-
ported out by the Senate Committee
on Education and Labor.
THE great advantage Of the COM
mittee system of considering proposed
legislation" Harding continued, "is the
opportunity afforded members to be-
come thoroughly familiar with the prob
lens in given field, but insofar as the
consideration of the construction indus
try Is concerned, no group of men in
Congress at present are being given
that opportunity. As result there has
been much ill-advised and hodge -podge

Fostering Loans.

In Westchester County, N. Y, and in
Cleveland, Ohio, where two recent pio-

money available for the building of new
homes of the small house type, loans
are already being made. and the volume

secure financing for sound new con-

low-price group and secured from lead
ing New York institutions, notably the
Bowery Savings Bank. support OF the
movement up to million dollars worth

In Cleveland the Union Trust Co.,
late in June, itself took the initiative
and announced funds available for
home building. The loans. limited TO
5000, are now actually being made.
The limitation in account was set be-
cause the institution wants especially to
