As a result, some have closed their eyes to common-sense economy and have assumed excessive obligations in desperate attempts to throw off the shackles of rent-slavery and attain the independence of home-ownership— leaping from the sizzling frying pan of burdensome cost into the all-consum- ing fire of overwhelming indebtedness. . Others have bought cheap houses, within their means, which do not pro- vide t}ngm with modern comforts and conveniences and, because of their very original cheapness, cost disproportionately to operate and repair. i The majority, the more conservative, have had to resign themselves to thAc rrl:soms: impost of heavy rental payments and the general insecurity and dissatisfaction of such a life. How may this problem be solved? A'siJe from an equitable increase 1n government salaries, which seems im- i possible to obtain, there is only one other solution. That is to discover a way to construct and market Jesirfzb/e homes at such a low cost that they may be sold at prices within the reach of the average government salary. This can be accomplished by the combination of two powerful forces. the great economy effected by a big build'ng organization doing wholesale con- struction and the collective buying power of a large number of individuals united in a co-operative corporation. This Has Been Done .
