At present tenements renting at more than $20 are not subject to rent control. Last week republican machine lead- ers came to New York City as the guests of the landlord and real estate interests. They were personally con- ducted through the workers’ districts and shown a dozen or so empty places—empty because the rents were too high. j Visibly impressed, they returned and obligingly paid off their debt for the pléasant jaunt by issuing state- ments declaring that the “emergency ABR over,” __ Assemblyman ,} Edmund |" ass led the chorus. _ Al Quiet On Housing. 4 lovernor Al Smith is not pressing housing bank bill.- Under this tute, the state would furnish joney to build workers’ tenements if private capital does not come to the rescue. The alleged philanthropists who were to “give” a few hundred “millions at 6 per cent interest having failed to dig up, the buck has been slipped back to Al, but he’s too busy h ' with his presidential politics to do anything about the state housing bank, , Bob Rust, publicity agent for Au- gust Hecksher, who appealed in vain recently for $500,000,000 from mil- lionaires—at 6 per cent—to erect unicipal housing is the only solu- ion, What Hecksher’s Agent Says. “The entry of the city into the housing field may be decried, but how can the problem be otherwise solved,” Rust asks. “There ar¢ builders who are willing to undertake construction of apartments renting from $15 to $20 a room per month if they can secure i iA tax exemption, but there is no eager- ness on the part of capital to under- take the erection of tenements to rent at $12 a month even with the aid of the present housing laws. “Kilpatrick says that tenants can pick and choose today, which may be true with high and medium priced apartments, but it is not the fact where low-priced tenements are con- cerned, and it is this class of build- ings which it is proposed to construct. “Those who have developments like the Metropolitan Life group at Long Island City and similar structures in Manhattan are confronted by a tre- mendous demand for rooms and have long waiting lists. The present de- mand is one that must be supplied by city and state.” Kilpatrick, the real estate sharks’ representative, calls Rust crazy in his proposal for municipal housing at $8 aroom. Nothing less than $12 a room put up warrens for the workers, he claims. At this figure, private capital cannot be obtained, as there is. more money in apartment hotels for the wealthy. Kilpatrick derides the entire city housing scheme as “silly and impractical.” that New York’s housing is a hope- mess in which capitalism has failed miserably and can do nothing tq retrieve its failure, Would Bar Grade Crosings. “ALBANY,-N.
