PLAN FAR 800,000 HOUSES Colossal Task Invoives Expenditure of More Than $100,000,000 Every Year for a Per'od of More Than Sixty Years. Néw York.—“It's all jolly well to look to the government to solve your particular housing problem, but at the same time public-spizited men and women, working. independently, with the right ideas, can do much toward aiding the go pnent in reducing this problem to a minimum.” 5 ‘That in’ substance is what Mrs. Henrietta Barnett had in mind when, with others interested in community welfare, she established the Hamp- stead Garden Suburb, five miles from London. “Our village now is a most attrac: tive place,” said Mrs. Barnett, at the Cosmopolitan club, New York, where she is staying for a few days before returning to England. “Hampstead Garden Suburb now has a population of about 10,000, The ground was brok- en for it in 1907 and the present posi- tion of this pioneer experiment of town extension, in spite of suspension of building more than six )y is most satisfactory. Many desperate homexeekers in New York no doubt would heartily in- dorse a similar scheme, says the writ er of an article published in the Bos- ton Globe.

The necessity of shelter- ne homeless people became ‘so acute that the government adopted this plan, In 1927 it will be consid- ered again by the government. If it proves practicable, it may be contin- ued; if not, some improved scheme may be substituted for ft. Under this plan the various munict- palities issue bonds to carry out their particular schemes. Houses thus built fre rented at the lowest possible rate and any deficiency beyond a certain figure is guaranteed by the nationa government. This plan is helping to meet the present eat) and urgent housing emergency* of England. After long years passed in Universi- ty settlement work} with her husband, the noted Canon Barnett, vicar of 8! Jude’s Whitechapel, for which they were the inspiration in England, Mrs. Barnett evolved her ideas for a coun- try community in which every family could have its own bath and its own garden. “Part of this village,” Mrs. Barnett explained, “was built around an open space of eighty acres, In addition to the woods there are. public gardens, playgrounds and sheltered seats which may be enjoyed by all the tenants, whatever rents they pi } “The village represents a true com | Druggists also | munity spirit aud has-been the means | #! of promoting a better under nding | between various classes by 4 i ng -—-Photo by rge ditch which ha the river—the town's suppl making te and caving impossible later How at will of owner, RRR ee that people with different sizes of in- come my live on the estate, It is not a charity enterprise, It is self sup- porting and has made for the happi- ness and improved health of the fami- lies who uve taken cottages at Hampstead Garden Suburb.
