Governments Share.
The program, officially, is financed
out of the proceeds of the Viennese
dwelling house tax" but the authors
present figures to show that actually
this tax falls short of covering the
needs, and that the balance is made
up out of the city's general tax fund.
In this connection it is interesting
for residents of the District to note
that Vienna. both as a city and as a
province. shares in contribution from
the Austrian federal government.
The extent of these contributions
however. is not stated
In summing up his conclusions from
the study, Mr.. Hardy suggests that a
better solution of the actual housing
emergency which faced the city after
the war might have been to build
cheap temporary barracks, and sup
ports the decision of the city to carry
the cost of the program out of cur
rent revenues instead of borrowing
the money.
The building of the houses was a
measure of direct relief of economic
distress" he writes, and as such it
was properly regarded as a current ex-
pense. Borrowings could have been
justified only if there was a probable
ity that the city's ability to pay would
be materially increased before the ma
turity Of the loan there was no rea-
son to anticipate such a change"
Perhaps the authors principal quar-
rel, however, is with the policy of
charging less than the cost of the
housing, by divorcing capital expenses
from operating expenses in computing
the rent. To him, interest and amor
tization of capital costs are lust as
legitimate part of the cost of shell
ter as the cost.
The provision of shelter at less
than its full cost" he writes. can be
justified as matter of social policy
when there is genuine inability TO psv
but the rates charged in Vienna are
pelow the ability OF Substantia part
OF the population to pay, as Is evi-
denced by the long lists Of unsatisfied
applicants. Higher rents would have
made funds available for more rapid
building. If some of the individuals
who now occupy the new buildings
had been excluded by different rent
policy, they could have been accom-
modated in apartments vacated by the
more fortunate applicants ALLEGATION
on the basis Of willingness and ability
to pay would simplify administration
and relieve no less distress"

Wall Street was intensely interested
in the aviation controversy as it was
in the hearings on the stock exchange
control program which began before
congressional committees. Various
traders showed a disposition to rim
sales pending Washington develop
ments.
Some financial commentators held
the view that a "sidewiSe" market
movement might be expected over the
next several weeks, barring unfore
seen occurrences; that a showdown
in activity was desired by the admin
stration in order that the economic
upturn might not be interfered with
and that the Federal control plan
was launched for the purpose, largely
of halting a Spring boom" in STOCK
which could result in subsequen,
unpleasant relapse.
Tobacco Issues OFF.
A downward furry in the to-
bacco issues was attributed partly to
reports that one of the 10-cent Gig
arctic manufacturers was preparing to
market a new package to retail at 8
cents which would contain five IL
inch cigarettes, each OF which could
be subdivided into four. The profit
here. it was said. would come in the
saving of Federal taxes if an adverse
ruling is not made by the authorities

GREELEY'S HANDWRITING

Many stories have been told about
Horace Greeley's VIGOROUSLY poor hand
writing, which was constant nightmare
to his associates. and especially to the
printers on the old New York Tribune.
One printer being given a Greeley
manuscript to set up for the first time, ex-
claimed: my God, if Belshazzar had
seen this writing on the wall he would
have been more terrified than he was.''
Later. it is said. Greeley wrote to the fore
man, directing that the printer be dis
charged because he made so many typo
graphical errors. The printer got hold of
the note before leaving. and carried it to
the foreman of another newspaper as a
commandments got a job I'M
mediately.
Once Greeley was invited to lecture
in Sandwich I'll. He wrote that as he was
overworked and would be sixty years old
on February third. he felt unable to take
the engagement. After much labor i'm de-
ciphering the letter. the committee replied
that they would be glad to have him lee
ture on February third. and that the fee of
sixty dollars would be satisfactory.
