mhmusm‘ | PRESENT FOR IAPAN LUMBER AT COST Plans 0,000 Homes for Model City at Dearborn Detrolt, Oct, 36, —"Lumber is too high for the poor man o iu‘ll"lll own home,” said Menry Ford, “We are going inte the lumber business and give our people lumber frem our ste at cost. “'"":":o not waste our lumber by Jetting forest fires burn it up. We keep our woods oleared o‘ulnt. The or- dinary logger leaves a plle l|u after it lies & year it gets dry and ‘makes & good forest fire, We clean up every stick of wood, Consequent- iy, we have had little fire losses this y€ar, while our nelghbors have lost milllons of feet of the finest of lum- ber, “Out of this economy we are able to give poor men lumber at cost when wo get started, “We did not have 20 men on our entire forest lands during the :2 peried. When those forest fires started even A jack rabbit could not Xeep up with them, I've heard them roar for a mile, “When they log up they ought to clean up. Then they could do what wo are going to do—sell lumber at cost to housebullders. At the present time all bullding has stopped, homes aro short, cities are congested, man cannot afford to bulld, it s too expen- sive, | Model City “"We are going to.bulld a model city out here at Dearborn. There are 8,000 acres of real estate. We'll give the people lumber at cost. We'll use the Edison plant for cement houses *gonerally and the lumber will be used for the: floors, doors and windows. Edison has perfected the plan of pour- ing cement houses. I was talking with him this summer when we worked out this plan of a model city in Dear- born. “We will give 4,000 or 5,000 acres to these model homes. We want each owner to have plenty of space so there will only be built six houses to the acre, ‘That means that there will be about 30,000 homes.” Do you expect them to be uniform houses like the coal industry has been in the habit of building, or the steel corporations, machine-made homes that all look exactl yalike?" No, every one of them will be dif- ferent,” he replied. “From Dearborn to Detroit will be one continuous city when we get our Rdue plant and plans going full blast and when we get this model city built. The work is going on now. Our plans are ma- tured, but we change them from time to time.” PRAISES U. S, .
