Increase in Percentage by
Time of Next Census
Is Advocated.

With a national census pending In
less than two years, Washington today
was urged to take stock" and see what
progress the city has made in the last
eight years, in view Of its record in
the decade prior to the 1880 census.
The suggestion came from William
M. Throckmorton, realtor, Of the Arm
Of William NJ. Throckmorton Co. As
the most important contribution in
his own field, he advocated a cam
paign which would spur Washington
to increase its percentage Of home
ownership by the time OF the 1910
census.
mo one can deny that an impetus
has been given to home ownership
by the events of the past few years. !"
said Mr.. Throckmorton. I'VE know
that high interest rates and short
term mortgages. with recurring renewal
fees and cumbersome second mort
cages. tended to prevent home owner

lower income brackets. But the Home
Owners Loan Corp, in the dark days
Of 1888, pioneered the way with its

ton for urban housing, and other

The committee announced that 1t
would seek Federal funds for an in
vestigation looking toward the reduce
ton Of building costs.
While millions have been appro-
priated for research in the Depart
ment Of Agriculture and other gov
ernmental agencies, no funds have
ever been appropriated for the pur-
pose of finding how building costs
can be reduced"
Proposals Of basic requirements
that should be adopted as standard
for dwelling units were made In the
committees report.

family units should be as compact

therefore, challenge to the building
industry, which includes architects,
that steps be taken to reduce the cost
Of building construction"
The committee placed part of the
blame for the high building costs on
obsolete building code and zoning
regulations and tenement house laws,
which were called "a serious handi-
cap" to both reduction Of housing
costs and proper site planning
Between the letting of contracts
Of the first and last projects in the
Middle West section of the United
States the cost OF housing increased
from 38 cents a cubic foot to So
cents within period Of two years
or less The common complaint that
the costs have been increased either
by architects or by labor does not
stand up in this case. because the
size Of unit. the types Of construc-
ton. the materials used and the
equipment installed were Of the same
general type. Wages Of labor also
had nothing to do with the increase.

To launch this movement the
ARCHITECTS have united with the Pro-
ducers' Council. an organization COM
posed of the Nations leading manu-
facturers of building materials, now
In session here, to develop tech
nique for the design and planning
OF homes at low cost and for the
merchandising Of these homes to the
American people. This step was de-
scribed by the committee as "a far
reaching cooperative movement which
should not fail"
Many evils must be eliminated be-
fore real progress in housing can be
made, it was pointed out by the COM
mittee, which has just concluded an
educational housing campaign In
which $4,000 architects throughout
the country participated. To correct
these conditions the committee sug-
gested:
Elimination Of red tape and de-
mental housing projects.
Cooperation of labor In eliminat-
ing jurisdictional disputes and rackets
In the building industry.
Sterilization of wages for q rea-
sonable period Of time.
Government cooperation In in
vestigating and reducing building
costs.
Revision OF obsolete building codes.
Competent professional planning
for sound and economical construc-
ton.
Cooperation Urged.
'The architects real job is to work
In cooperation with industry in q
reduction of the cost Of homes" the
committee continued. I'VE recognize
that in almost every industrial line
there has been a reduction Of cost
and an increase in value Of the COM
modify and a wider use. In the
housing field the same cannot be
said. There has been an increase
in the standards required, which may
account for the tendency toward
higher costs and CONSTRUCTED use.
Since several million housing units
will be required in the next decade
for persons having incomes not in
excess of $50 per week, and who,
therefore, cannot theoretically pay in
excess of $50 per month rental, and
since building costs at present are at
