we're at rentals under $50 Yet during
1899, according to a report of the CO.
ordinator of defense housing, more than
$4,000 dwellings were erected in the
Metropolitan Area. The next year this
number was increased to approximately
$1,000. But practically all of them were
for sale or for rent at S35 and more. This

In 194l when the District government
established defense housing registry,
the National Capital Housing Authority
undertook to inspect all dwellings rent

complied with minimum standards. The
number offered at these rentals decreased

Would Shortage Help or Hurt?
With diminishing fear OF a housing
surplus goes increasing realization that
large postwar housing shortage would
very emphatically not be blessing A
small housing shortage stimulates en-
ployment, but, a large one, even one so
moderate as that which followed the
little World War, leads not to healthy
activity but to speculation and to rising
prices that check construction. It also
leads to acceptance of lower standards
on the plea that demand is urgent and
good standards slow construction.
A large part of our housing difficulties
after the last war was due to lack of
preparation for peace. We assumed that
we would simply take up where we had
left of in April, 1917. But we did not

The future Washington should be a
spacious city not only, perhaps not so
much, in surface of streets, but within
its building lines. The old adage about
penny wise and pound foolish is we'll
illustrated by undue lot occupancy. In
this as in other ways, New York has
taught us what not to do. After piling
its buildings higher and higher, packing
its people closer and closer, it had an
almost catastrophe collapse of real
estate values.
One seldom learns from the expert
ence of Others but Washington is offered
the opportunity, by having its attention
called to the fact that the law of dimin-
ishing returns applies to land over
crowding and that this law has not been
repealed. But sometimes one does learn
from his own experience. Washington 5
experience is that in housing private
enterprise must be supplemented by
public.
Ever since 1870 attention has been
directed to our slums, regulatory and
SOAACSVlVC ACSAoAoVAOA1 A1do UCCl1 C11dCVCOs
Yet the slums have expanded. From
the inhabited alleys they have extended
to the streets and then crossed the
streets to squares that had no inhabited
alleys, until whole sections deteriorated.
So public housing was called upon to
take up where private leaves of, to re-
claim slums and to provide proper hous-
ing for those whose incomes are made
quate to pay proflt-producing rent for
q proper dwelling.
The program of Washington's public
housing agency, the National Capital
Housing Authority, contemplates the
reclamation of considerable areas, such
as that about Kings Court in the North
west, as well as of smaller areas that are
rot spots in otherwise good neighbor-
hoods, and the erection and manage
ment-management is the key to good
housing-of dwellings for that part OF
the population whose incomes are too
low to cause private enterprise to build
for 1t in adequate amount.

instead of one and a half Even II it
does, the time in which to prepare q
postwar housing program is short, for
housing is slow moving. Construction
alone takes months. Preceding construc-
ton are determination of policy, enact
ment of egislation-private as well as
public housing today depends upon leg
islation, financing, securing materials,
selecting sites, developing the sites, ex-
tending utilities.
If the war lasts three years longer our
present housing program is inadequate
even for war needs. So war and postwar
must be considered together. If the war
lasts only two years longer, the time for
preparation is very short. If, by some
miracle, it were to end within one year,
the consequences might be disastrous.
Evidently it is high time that we be-
gin not to think vaguely or even to plan
deflnitely-as New York City is doing,
but to build. What we build between now
and the end of the war will contribute
to our victory.
What We May Expect
Like all programs directed toward the
future, this one Is based upon certain
assumptions These are:
L. postwar population requiring more
than our present housing accommoda-
tionS.
We could lose more than 200 1000 Of our
present population and still be over
crowded. We have, in the District, more
than 10000 old dwellings that should be
demolished. These are occrupied by
more than 100000 persons, perhaps by
10000 or even 100000, for they are un-
believably crowded. In addition are
temporary structures to shelter new
comers, some of whom will stay here.
Before the war ends we may hope for
some decrease in the stats of war agen-
cies through shaking down" process.
When the war ends we may expect a
large decrease in the STATS Of these
agencies. But We are today crippled by
lack of civilian services-note advertise
