Public Housing

In most Western Euro

lie housing is built almost
exclusively by the govern
ments. Private concerns
shun those Developments be-
cause Of tight rent controls
which Mr.. Dodge said do not
permit q fair return on in
vestment.
Most middle-class families
seeking new surroundings
must turn to cooperative
apartments, the real estate
ofhcial said. Erected by
private Arms, the co-opera-
tives are sold as individual
units within the building.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dodge were
among delegates and fami-
lies from this country and
Western Europe who visited
projects In Madrid, Rome,
Berne. Paris. Brussels and
London. The congress met
June 2 through 5 in Madrid.

on . recent tour Of an

visitor lament. "It's too bad
they spoiled the effect by
putting In Venetian blinds on

That's q common reaction.
for Venetian blinds are re-
garded by many as an In
genious product Of the mod
ern mass production era and
a device unknown 10 the 18th
century.
They're not. But their

Not o. Good

But they are not up to
our standards in modern con-
veniences," he said.
Rent controls and tight
financing have produced
some strange situations, Mr..
Dodge said. In some coun-
tries, controls have been re-
Taxed on buildings erected
since World War II.
Therefore, property owners
often find it more profitable
to tear down a relatively good
apartment house and build a
new one than to remodel the
old. New single houses were
q rarity, he said.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-08-01

As the blinds won favor
after the mid-18th century,

used as exterior shields
against the sun, with the Stats
