an average cost in excess OF IS. 1000.
When the cost Of lots and grad

increase in land values justify the

What will Tacoma do about
this area of high but decreasing
land values. Of much tearing down
and obsolescence and OF little

Or. Schafer noted that Tacoma
has not built extensively At its
fringe. Not only has most build
ing been in the two to three-mile
zone but the most costly home
building has been there. He found
that the city IL one Of few where

APARTMENT HOUSES
NEEDED IN TACOMA

Tacoma has not followed other
cities N construction OF multi
family dwellings. During the past
10 years, the study disclosed. there
has been almost no expansion Of
apartment houses except where
large homes have been broken up
into smaller units.
DR.. Schafer cited three major
questions of planning the Tacoma
citiZenry must answer.
First is that OF the vacuum be-
ing created at the city center by
demolition OF buildings.
While many other cities have
developed some type Of low cost
housing in those areas, our local
housing authority has not felt II
desirable 10 expand such pro-
gram here" DR.. Schafer pointed
out.

an income below that figure
Third question Is Tacoma solu-
ton Of the defense housing prob
lem. DR. sohsfer questions Wh.th-
er such housing should BE- perma-
nent, semi-pernanent or IN mobile
units which can be moved when
the emergency ends He asks
whether they should be single or
or mulu-family dwellings. II they
are made permanent. he wonders
what the future effect viii be on
Tacoma real estate values.
II mobile defense housing units
are the citys final decision. the
survey head suggested that they
Be built on vacant property within
The mile and a half or two-mile
area from the city center on a

SUAL PATTERN NOT
FOLLOWED IN TACOMA

Most cities build At the outer
edges" said Or. Schafer People
have a tendency 10 move from con-
Eested areas near the center Of
the city 10 the city fringe.
Tacoma has not followed that
pattern. Most Of the building &C
tivity took place within the two
and three-mile zone from the city
center. and this area Of activity
was about half the distance TO the
city fringe
. The chief centers Of activity
have been in the region OF 50th
and Pacific ave. and west OF the
Sixth ave. and Proctor region.
Virtually all Of the rest OF the
construction has been film US
Ing vacant lots in previously set
tied areas
There have been few new sub
divisions and those offered have
not been overrun with purchasers
because Of the large amount Of
available open space within three
miles distance OF the center.
This reverse tendency has Ger
tain advantages. 1t calls for little
extension Of streets or service lines
with the exception Of sewers IN
areas such as the 50th and Pacific
ave. development where a large
number Of septic tanks created a
sanitary problem.
Since Tacoma has one of the
largest areas proportionate to its
size in the United States, this has
not increased seriously the areas

Parks did not get knocked out in
a round or two as the boxing Com

Seattle is a good fight town and
