- ————— WASTE IN GERMAN TS 1 0D Expert” Says { Budgets Are One-Fifth %’ Lower Than in 1930. By the Agsociated Press. | BERLIN, November 28-—Dr. Oscar | Mulert, considered to be Germany's| best-ififormed specialist on municipal problems, today protested against ac- (‘ulllt:s by Premier Laval of France | that rman municipalities are gullty | of lavish expenditures. | “Nobody is more ready than I to ad- mit individual cases of prodigal mu- | nicipal expenditure,” he sald, “but it 1s unfair to generalize from those in- stances. Instead of needing 5,000,000,- | 000 marks a year, as before 1930, our cities operate now on a budget of 4.- 000,000,000, and this sum would be much lower but for unemployment Dole 25 Cents Dafly. 1 “Of 5,000,000 jobless Germans fully | one-third must directly supported | by the communities. Nobody can charge | prodigality in doles, for these averaged | 25 cents a day per man." { Dr. Mulert expressed doubt that any | one dbroad reslizes how economically | Germgn cities are operating.. Con- struction of public buildings is prac- tically’ stopped. he sald, street repairs are seanty, schools are crowded and many _hospitals and museums closed. “Evéry such reduction of expeditures leads unfortunately to new unemploy- ment and in the wake of the growing economic depression come despair and radicalism. “Nobody could forsee this economic depression. Germany's reconstruction program was intended for normal times. Foreign credits to municipalities were used 95 per cent to finance pub- | lic_utilities. They never wer® used for | welfare purposes or luxuries. “We hear much abroad about OGer- many’s stadiums, athletic fields and swimming pools, as though they con- stituted wasteful expenditure | “‘Building athletic grounds and dig- | ging swimming pools was chiefly man- | ual work and involved cnly inexpensive material. Once completed they were | of inestimable vAue in raising thz health and morals of the young people. | Explains Settlements. | “Another matter about which much | fuss is made abroad is our attractive sottlement houses, But when one| bullds one might as well make h's| product artistically beautiful. = From | 1914 to 1923 all house construction was | stopped in Germany and it was im- perative to build many cheap homes. “The German worker cannot pay | more than $5 to $9 a month for rent, hence these tiny new homes are con- | centrated in large settlement units | which give the impression -of large | bulldings, whereas they are nothing but groupings of the smallest apartments, consisting of living room, bed room, | kitchen and bath.
