The public control of land resolution was a modification of one proposed by the institute's Com- mittee on Economies of Site, Planning and Housing. Text of Resolution. Text of the resolution was as fol- | lows: | “Resolved, That the American In- stitute of Architects declare that good housing is dependent on planned communities; that adequate public control of land use is essential to the munities on sound economic and socit lines, and that the institute advoca the progressive acquisition of such public control and the training of persons to be competent to devise ahd administer that control.’ Producers’ Council, Inc., affiliate of | the institute, adopted resolution | urging co-operation to preserve the | construction industry in the absence of the construction code. The coun- cil called upon its delegates to the afliate, to co-operate in every way with other organizations to preserve valuable elements of the code. A bright picture of the future of the construction industry as a result of neglect of structures during depression vears was painted by former Gov. Walter J. Kohler in an address before the architects. “In so far as failure to keep build- | ings in repair and abreast of times has | been caused by ill-adapted credit, facil- | ities” Kohler said. “the Federal | housing act should do some good, and, I believe, it has been definitely help- { ful.” Miles L.

The architect must seek a broader and more varied role than this one he has been accustomed to take.” Statements of Colean as to rapid growth of low-cost housing construc- tion were corroborated by Pierre | Blouke, Washington, architect and ad- viser, reconditioning division of Home Owners' Loan Corporation. “The Home Owners’ Loan Corpora- tion was organized not only to save also to save 700,000 homes from being placed upon a market which already was completely broken.
