Mortgage Bank Leader

Special Dispatch to the Star.

special OlSpACCQ 10 the SJAr.
CHICAGO. Jan. 3.-More than
seven times as many American ur-
ban families will move into newly
built dwelling quarters next year as
did six years ago. S. M. Waters,
president Mortgage Bankers Asso-
citation of America, said today in the
organizations annual summary of
the outlook for mortgage financing
prepared from association data.
1T appears that about one out
of every 80 American urban FAM
lilies will move into a newly built
residential dwelling next year, as
compared with the ratio of about
one for every $50 families six years
ago.
Probably the safest prediction
any one can make for 1899 is that
new building will show a very sub
stantial gain. For the first part of
the year, at least, it seems certain
that new construction will occupy
the center of the business stage.
1.-THE forces which are behind the
rising volume of new construction
will certainly be no less important
in 1899 than they are now, and
should be increasingly so. Thus new
high records for many years should
be recorded in most branches of
construction, particularly those upon
which the greatest prosperity and
the most employment depends, such
as the building of small houses and
large apartment projects"

Steel Rate 10 Reach
50.7 Per Cent Mark,
Up 11.9Points
Advance for Current
Week Is Attributed
To Normal Factors
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Operations
in the steel industry for the current
week will advance 11.9 points to 50.7
per cent of capacity. compared with
1913 per cent in the preceding week,
the American Iron and Steel Insti-
tute estimated today.
The jump was attributed in steel
circles to a normal rebound follow
ing the holiday curtailment, which
was responsible for a dip of 1873
points in the previous weeks operat-
ing rate.
A month ago output was 500 per
cent of capacity and year ago 56.6
per cent.
The upswing at the start of the
new year was the largest weekly
gain in steel production recorded
since July. 1887, when operations
jumped more than Is points fol-
lowing Fourth of July curtail-
ment.
The comeback, although rated
as a seasonal snapback, was faster
than many in the industry had
expected.
Some trade sources recently had
forecast gradual January re-
covery to around so per cent or so
in midmonth.
The year end brought some fair
sized steel orders for rails, heavy
construction and promise of re-
newed demand from autorf1otive
users.

Aldermen Reject Lou
 Cost-Housi1g Program,
Private Capital Favored For Elimination of City's Alleged "Slums"-Findings Submit ted by Board-Report Asked on New Ath- letic Field

Rejection of the proposal that Waterbury enter into the low-cost housing program as set up by the Waterbury Housing Authority was voted by the aldermen last night who accepted the report of the com- mittee which held the public hear ing last week where considerable op- position was shown.
 But the aldermen, in a long sum- mary of housing matters, recom- mended that the local housing au- thority continue its efforts to elimi- nate slums through private capital and favored revision of building or dinances so as to force landlords to bring sub-standard buildings to fit conditions or to rage such structures.
 Official Findings
 Findings of the aldermen, acting as a committee of the whole, in- cluded the following: CD Some dwellings are unsafe and unfit for dwellings,; CD There are a number of sub-standard dwellings; (3) The proposal of the housing authority would not eliminate them or the sluns; (4) there is no shortage of housing facilities that are satisfac- tory or could be made satisfactory; (5) Adoption of the plan would re- suit in a continuous subsidy by the city in the form of tax abatements which would increase the burden on all taxpayers; (6) The immediate problem can be met by the use of private capital; CD There is no in- mediate problem which justifies the program recommended, as. it would involve the city in an immediate out lay of money and continuing ex- pense,
 While the board rejected the pro- posal, it left the way open for fu- ture consideration of the housing situation here by promising review of the matter should such seem in dicated.
 The following recommendations were made: CD The housing au- thority to suggest plans to improve the conditions of the sub-standard dwellings, along the lines suggested; i;
