-HOMES FOR 50,000 - SEENASD.C.NEED Assessor Bases Figure on Growth and Building—Mrs, Taylor Less Conservative. ‘Washington still needs housing facil- fties for 50,000 people despite the re- duction in population since the close of the war, in the opinion of William P. Richards, District assessor. This estimate, however, is much more conservative than that made by Mrs. Clara Sears Taylor, member of the rent commission, who stated before the Central Citizens' Association last night that with a population of 470,000 Washington has accommodations for only 310,000. Assessor Richards arrived at his conclusion of 50,000 by comparing the city’s building development with the normal increase in population by dec- ades since 1890 “From 1850 until 1910," the assessor pointed out, “‘the population increased at the rate of 50,000 every ten years. But from 1910 to 1920 the increase was 100,600, or double the average oi the precednig years. In 1916, however, before we en- tered the war, there were 00 va- cant houses in the District, showing that the city at that time was ahead ©of its needs in housing. “That surplus of homes, Wwith the normal building develop- * ment, would, I believe, have taken care of a normal grawth of 50,000 in population for the dévade which end- ed last year. During the last decade, however, the growth was 100,000, leaving an excess population of 50,000 to be housed.” These figures show how regular the city’s growth was up to the time this country entered the war: In 1890 population was 230,392; 1900, 278.718; 1910, 331069, and in 1920, 4 1 together Mr. Richards expressed the belief that there is, no doubt, considerable room in some of the existing dwell- Ings for more people. The number of people to & house, however, is a ques- tion of the standard of living and can ‘hardly be considered as a means of re- ~ducing the need for more homes. FEDERAL LOANS TO HOME . BUILDERS RECOMMENDED Proposal as a remedy for the hous- ing shortage in Washington that Con- gress authorize federal loans at low interest rates to prospective home builders was made by Mrs. Clara Sears Taylor, member of the District rent commission, at a public_forum under auspices of the Central Citizens' +Association last night in Trinity Com- munity House. Mrs.” Taylor said information com- ing to the rent commission indicates that of the 470.000 persons said to be ®esident here, there are living accom- | modations for only 310,000, Conditions have not improved mate- rially since the war, she declared, be- cause all the governmant workers re- | leased from the service have not left P Building materials have not failen in price to anywhere near pre- war levels and money for construc- tion work continues scarce, she point- ed out. The final solution of the rent prob- lem is to provide adequate living ac- commodations for the people. the speaker said, and as a means for re- lieving the house shortage she reit- erated that government loans at in- terest rates of 412 or 5 per cent would be of material assistance. - Organization of boys' clubs in the various community centers as a pre. ventive against formation of gang: was advocated by Miss Cecil Norton, general secretary of the community centers. Co-operation between parents and the school authorities was urged by Mrs. Giles Scott Rafter. president of the Congress of Mothers and Par- ent-Teachers' Associations. Extension of Washington's indus- trial field to include many forms of light manufacturing. but not to in- terfere with the “city beautiful” plans. was outlined by Charles J. Co- lumbus, secretary of the Merchants and Manufacturers’ Association Lynn Yeagle. Sunday editor of the * Washington Post, also spoke. Thom- as J. Donovan. president of the as- sociation, presided.
