ming and building was badly done,
we must 60 back and do it over again.
The members Of this association were
porbably the most aggressive group
in the organized city planning move
ment. We have been responsible in
part for blunders made. Neverthe-
less, no other group can bring to this
task the specialized knowledge and
experience of real estate use and
trends which it is our responsibility
to contribute to its solution. Only as
sound and constructive replanning is
accomplished can true confidence In
much Of our city real estate be re-
stored.
Concerning the program for simpli-
fication of local government, the pro-
gram states:
Real estate has much to gain II
the existing tangle of 175.000 local
governments in the United States
can be untangled and simplified. A
piece Of property is often subjected
to the exactions Of six or seven layers
of State and local government. Thus
q property may be taxed by the State,
by the county, by the township, by
the municipality, by school district,
by a park district, by sanitary dis
trict, by q local Improvement dis
trict. This does not exhaust the list.
Often these units Of government levy
their taxes without knowledge Of one
another's levies and without reference
to what the property will bear. The
taxpayer Is lost in q maze OF un-
organized public finance and can get
no true picture Of what Is done with
his money. Except for towns and
cities, the county should be the
smallest unit Of government having
the right to levy taxes. This would
eliminate nearly two-thirds Of our
present taxing units. Moreover, in
the case Of our 5000 counties, two or
more should be combined so as to re-
duce the number Of counties by at
least half. We propose to press for
such simplification Of government In
every State and community where's
we can get the sympathetic support
of our membership"

2,200 Maryland families now living
on submarginal land throughout the
State would be moved to locations
more favorable for making a living
under the terms Of a recommends
ton submitted this week by the Mary
land State Planning Commission.
The commission recommended that
between 10000 and $4,000 acres of
submarginal land in 10 counties be
purchased for use in forestry, game
and water conservation, erosion con-
troll and recreational and similar
projects. Abel Wolman, chairman Of
the commission, refused to make pub
lie the exact location Of the various
pieces Of land involved in the rec
concentrations.
He pointed out, however, that res
idents Of the land in question are
among the first rural people to re-
quire relief, and that the land is now
being used for the purposes for which
it Is best adapted. He urged that the
people be transferred to areas where
their opportunities would be greater.

each proposed low-cost housing prof.
ect submitted will always be judged
on It's own merits on all points, and
that because Of differences in con-
ditions surrounding various projects
decisions on technical points as to
one project do not constitute prec-
edents on similar points in other
proposals.
The Meadville operation consists
Of 200 detached and semi attached
houses of from 4 to 6 rooms. A
private garage will be assigned to
each dwelling. The garages will be
grouped in several units in such a
way that they will be practically
concealed in the hillside and present
more attractive appearance than
would individual garages scattered
about the plot. The houses will rent
for from $26 to $40 q month, and
will be laid out in an attractive

Advocate the adoption of acts in
each State establishing minimum
housing standards. I'VE are over
ridden with hundreds Of building
codes, both State and municipal, which
attempt to prescribe in detail how
homes and all other structures shall
be built" the new realty presidents
program states. These codes reflect
methods, in many cases. which have
long been outgrown. Moreover, the
building codes are shot through with
provisions inserted by special inter-
ests. The result is that building and
housing, in which we have vital in
terest, is compelled to carry on bur-
dened with q host Of out-worn ideas
which add enormously to costs with
out compensating benefits in safety,
health and convenience.

"To coordinate and simplify these
local codes we plan to advocate the
adoption by the various States of
State housing acts which shall pre-
scribe in simple terms that every
man can understand, the minimum
standards with respect to sanitation,
light, air, safety to which all struc-
lures to be occupied by human beings
for dwelling purposes shall conform.
Only such structures as comply with
these standards should be permitted
occupancy. Within such broad limi-
tations local building codes can be
co-ordinated and made more simple
and the development Of housing IA
cilities can be permitted to function
freely and make full use Of the rapid
recent developments and inventions
in the field of materials and con-
struction technic."
In regard to the new effort in re-
planning our cities, the program
states: Recent studies have shown
that in the average American city,
under city planning and coming ordi-
nances, many times as much prop
erty as can ever be used has been
allocated for apartments, business,
manufacturing and industrial pur-
poses, crowding out and destroying
home neighborhoods. The result has
been what we know as blight. This
has led to fight from the city on the
part of those who could get away
into the suburbs where they could
recreate home neighborhoods and
maintain them.
"Our cities now sprawl over vast
areas, with approximately one-fourth
of all their land vacant. We main
tain miles Of useless streets, sidewalks
and utilities and increase enormously
the costs Of many public services,
for which there Is no corresponding
gain. We cannot run away from this
