Realtors Offer Plan
To Meet Defense
Housing Problem
Government Is Urged
To Shore Cost With
Private Business

AS the defense program develops
it is already clear that there VIII

machinery through which such
housing might be created so far as
possible by private effort. with the
R. F. c., if necessary, as senior part
ner, is proposed by the National As
ISOLATION of Real Estate Boards.
If defense emergency housing can
be supplied through private effort.
with such Federal aid as may be
needed, rather than through direct
building by the Federal Government,
it can be created more quickly. the
association claims. In addition, there
would be less adverse effect on 9TH
er existing housing and greater SAL
wage value when cessation of en-
ployment brings quick end to the
need of extra housing.
Plan Offered to U. S. Officials.
Newton c. Farr, Chicago. presi-
dent of the association. and Herbert
U. Nelson, Chicago, executive vice
president, presented the plan at a
recent conference here with Fed
eral officials.
In each community where the
need arises for construction OF
emergency rental housing it is pro-
posed that special corporations be
created for the purpose. This could
be done under provisions of Section
207 of the National Housing Act.
The projects would involve one spe-
cial kind OF riSk-unCertainty as to

Under such a plan, 81 of private
