NEED OF PLANNING
FOR CITIES IS CITED
Rings of Satellite" Towns
Foreseen by Former
Realty Leader.

Large increases in population, move
ment from country to city and the
formation of future cities with rings
of satellite" towns around them are
foreseen by Walter S. Schmidt of Gin
cinnati, who served in 1885 as presi-
dent of the National Association of
Real Estate Boards.
Schmidt emphasizes the importance
Of long-range planning and collective
action between owners of real estate to
prevent deterioration Of their neigh
borhoods. Tenements are unnecessary
in all but the largest of American cities,
he maintains, and attention should be
centered largely on individual homes,
widespread ownership of which, he be-
lieves, would be made possible through
the scope of the new type of operation
and economies which Iill become pos
sible under 1t.
with the resumption of good con-
ditions excess workers on the farms
are bound to trek cityward," Schmidt
said. There is an economic reason, or
human reason, why that movement
Is inevitable. Mans capacity to con-
sumo food Is limited by his nature,
whereas his capacity to use the manu-
factured things is limited only by his
finances.
Because Of the desfrability of farm
ing as a method of life, certain think
ers have felt we must fight to prevent
further movement toward the cities.
True, farm life is a desirable method

BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.

In order to demonstrate that
houses can be built in the Washing
ton area at low cost although utiliz-
ing good materials. conventional
architectural design and regular con-
ctruction methods, the National
Lumber Manufacturers Association
announced today that 1t will erect
near Bethesda three houses that viii
sell for approximately $500.
The project is undertaken by the
association in cooperation with the
Federal Housing Administration.
Work was started on the houses
Thursday and it is expected they will
be completed about August is. The
homes are to be located on Cedar
lane, Huntington terrace, q short dis
tance out Old Georgetown road from
Bethesda.
The F. H. A. published plans for
four types of small homes at base
costs of $1,000 to $2,500-without
basement and exclusive Of the lot.
Ever since there has been wide Specu-
lation as to their feasibility. The
lumber association referred the plans
to its engineers and architects and
discovered that the F. H. A. cottages
could be built of lumber in conform
ity with the plans, In respect to costs,
beauty and nveableness. The group
Of three attractive houses just started
10 the outcome
Price About $3,500.
Houses to be erected by the asso-
citation are the "B," ID" and "E"
types of the F. H. A. bulletin. The
selling price will be approximately
$1,000, including 10. per cent cost
plus for the contractor. There will
be a basement with each structure.
1t is pointed out that the price in q
high-cost region like metropolitan
Washington necessarily has to be in
line with F. H. AS maximum esti-
mate Of 5000, without the lot, but
with basement allowance. The lots
are valued at approximately $500 and
the base price of each house, exclusive
Of basement and lot, is $4,000, ac-
cording to the F. II. A. estimate.
As an example of cost figuring on
the houses the association itemizes
construction prices as follows: F. H. A.
cost with basement, $2,5o0; Lumber
Association contract including base
ment, $2,448; contractors profit, $248;
lot cost, $525; title, recording deed, etc,
$40; sod, walks, shrubbery, $50; cost
OF complete house with lot, $3,351.

substantial sums on It's conhdehce in Watcfburyg future.
 Tn 1883 the Baldwin street sub- station was completed after ail out lay of S2l4,0OO in order to insure a more dependable electric service and larger local supply. Economic conditions in 1892 hardly warranted this expenditure but the company had faith in Waterbury's future.
 Also, a new gas making plant on Eagle street was completed in 1885, involving an expenditure of $240,- 900. The Connecticut Light & Pow CT company might have gotten along with the old plant but the building of @ new one meant 8 more ample and dependable supply and also meant additional work for Wa terbury employees.
 New System
 At the present time, unknown to many people, the Connecticut Light & Power company is engaged in building new underground elcc- trio service and plentiful capacity to meet Watcrbury's growing needs in the business district. This pro- ject, being quietly carried out, will cost in excess of $i00,000.
 At the present time, under the program of the company, Water bury is marching ahead in power service facilities.

NEW MEASURE FOR
 BANKRUPTCY ACT

Washington, May 20 -- (UP) --- Strict control of municipal bond holders protective committees was advanced today as an alternative to the municipal bankruptcy act of 1895, inyalidated by the supreme court in q decision estimated to affect some 2,O00,0OO,000 in de- faulted tax district indebtedness The statute was the latest of the New Deal era to be declared uncon- stitutional by the high tribunal. There appeared little prospect of action by this session of congress to enact any form of substitute.
 The protective committee control had been advocated by the securi- ties and exchange commission even before yesterdays supreme court verdict. Whether such control will prove feasible in view of the sweep ing terms of the court opinion writ ten by Justice James c. McReynolds was still uncertain. Immediate ef- fects of the decision were limited. This was due to the fact that only approximately 46 government units mostly drainage, irrigation and lcVee districts--haVe actually availed themselves of reorganization pro- CcedingB under the act.
