HAWKER ELM STREET HOUSES WILL BE | EVEN MORE SCARCE Dearth of Builings Gauses’ (By Henry Beckett, New York.) Houses will be so scarce and rents 50 high that labor will leave here next winter and the city’s busines try and prestige will suffer. the New York state reconstruction commission’s forecast, unless the city through some agency builds inexpen- sive houses on a large scale. 5 Not rent profiteering but a real dearth of homes, is the housing trou- ble, this commission finds. It is argued that, although building costs won't drop to pre-war levels soan, it's possible to get fair returns | on average rentals by extensive build- ing on cheap land, close enough to in- dustry, and utilizing expert, experi- enced advice on finance, design build- ing and managemet. “Landlords in many cases werc found to be justified in raising their rents because of the increased cost of | the management. The only way to meet the situation is to build more houses at once,” Chairman Abram I. Elkins reported. Mayor Hylan's committee on rent profiteering has camp site lists, where families may pitch tents—if the warst is yet to come. Despite authority’s conclusion exon- erating him, the landlord has in cases, raised rents here from $35 to $100 ay month, 185 per cent., and from $28 to $32 to $35 to $40, in slx months. | Herbert R. Limburg, attorney, wants to enlist financial interests in a $10,000,000 fund to build home Labor men plan a union of 5.,000,- 000 tenants, to be affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, strike where there’s rent profiteering, and | promote state law to let municipalities build and operate tenements. The state reconstruction commis- xion, examined 34 square blocks in Manhattan, Bronx and Brooklyn. The survey covers 35,000 apartments, housing 175,000. In the sixties, east side, in a single block, there’s just one vacancy in 850 apartments in bad re- pair, with rents increased 15 and : per cent.

They remain, al- though dissatisfied, because they can find no other lodging wherc they can pay the rent. The papers have pages of ads about “charming cottages’ with garage, laundry, open fireplace and servants' quarters, but these have nothing to o with the workingman's home problem. squeeze in tighter, BUILDING PERMITS ISSUED THIS WEEK Applications Totaling Over $51.000 Granted By Building Inspector Arthur N, Rutherford.
