!
provides that every Congressman
shall have turned over to him
$1,O00,000 to spend in his dis
trict to build homes which will
rent for not more than $40 per
month.
The homes must be comfor-
table, fireproof, and of approved
construction, to cost not more
than $4,000. The construction of
the homes and their disposal
would be under the personal Su.
pervision Of the Congressman.
Such a measure would cause
little competition in the real es-
tate field, but its possibilities
fl ON an administrative viewpoint
are arousing considerable conjec-
ture.
For instance, would Mr.. Con-
gresham be eligible to become a
realtor? Again, how would he
get along with the local code
authority, and could he operate
in States where licenses are re.
quired unless he first obtained a
license?
Seriously, though, realtors agree
that such a measure might be
worth the money, especially as it
relates to conditions in the Dis
trict of Columbia.
