In a Sanitation, paper specially prepared for the institute, Wendell P. Kay, Executive Director of the Alaska Housing Authority, called attention to the severe housing shortage in the Territory. “Not omly is the quantity of housing appallingly in- cufficient, but the quality of the housing is almest uniformly bad The Department cof Health esti- mates that at least one-half of the hovsing in the Territory is sub- standard. A survey by the Depart- ment has shown that 45 percent of the buildings in the City of Juneau are rat-intested and insanitary. It has been estimated by Mr. Harold B. Foss, architect, that approxi- mately 50 percent of the total dwelling units in Juneau are be- low standard. “The intimate relaticnship be- tween poor housing and poor health is obvious. Surveys repeatedly re- veal that areas of bad housing have higher rates of disease, delin- quency and crime. Among the fac- tors responsible are lack of sun- light, overcrowding, dampness, filth, poor water, and decay of buildings. Overcrev.uing increases the inc ence of diphtheria, scarlet fever, infantile paralysis, and other contagiops diseaces. “Alaska, with her Vast resources and f{remendous potentialities will be undergoing an extended period of intensive development for the next decade or more. It is safe to predict this development Will occur regardless of the bhousing cituation. ' Unless there is consid- crable immediate improvement with regerd to housing, that develop- ment will be accompanied by a {rightful amount of mise: disease discontent, and econom waste.” Kay closed by saying, “The com- munides of Alaska must begin to plan to alleviate this intolerable conditicn.
