ORWICH - BULLETIN, ASDAY, AUGUST 5, 1920 ROTARANS HEAR OF HOUSING PROBL The housing problem and how it can be overcome was graphically told at the noon day luncheon of the Norwich Rot- ary club on Wednesday at the Waure- gan house by Bempumin J. Rosenthal, philanthropist and business man of Chi- cago. Mr. Rosenthal who I8 staying at Eastern Point, ‘is president of a large mail order house of -Chicago, president of the Imporium World Company, pres- ident of the Central Reaity Company und a director and backer of the Chicago Housing Association. This association has just completed a large housing pro- ject in Chicago in an effort to relieve the situation in that city. In opening his address Mr. Rosen- thal said: The world today Is beset with ills, many of them imaginary while others are real. The greatest percenf- age are imaginary but ore is very real, that is the house problem. It has be- come guch a_ paramount problem that both parties have inserted a plank in their platforms relative to this subjeet. In Chicago, my home town, the hous- ing problem is as great as in any city in the country, but it is practically ne different from any other city only on a much larger scale. Chicago -is short about 60,000 homes which means that nearly 500,000 persons and living in cramped and unsanitary quarters. These people are viciously housed. They do not live in homes but exist in squalid quarters. In my Investigations in Chi- cago I have found as many.as twelve people living in a single room. They live in basemerits, cellars and attics and any place in fact that they can get. Take the black belt, the stock yard sec- tion, the west and the north sides - of Chicago and you will find these condi- tions true. In seme houses where there were any- where frem 10 to 12 persons living in a single room it was found that three and four persons were occupying a single Bed regardiess of sex. The _conditions were unsanitary and the suffering was horrible. Disease the Aftermath. What is the aftermath of this crowded and unsanitary living? It is tubercu- losis, crime, illegitimacy and anarchy. When one visits the tubiculosis sana- toriums, Chicago having four, one re- alizes what it means to be housed in such abominable quarters. One sees children, flat chested and hollow-eyed looking at you and seeming . to say, “You've come too0 late.” In one of these the cases explained to us were horrible beyond thought. In our Visit we saw two children, hopelessly insame. They were the twin children of a brother and sister who had been quartered together in one room. Other cases included a girl just entering her teens who was about to be a mother, several boys with most horrible diseases, and countiess cases of tuberculosis brought by undernour- ishment and foul living quarters. We paid a visit to the juvenile deten- tion home where theVe were hundreds of delinquents, degenerates and case after case of petty criminals. In the juvenile court in a single year 17,000 cases were tried. In the boys court on one day 45 youths were tried for gambling. Why wonder at crime when society furnishes the implements. Society mur- ders more in a single year than all the criminals in tly country in a decade, You men attribute the labor difficulties to the workmen who you say are inef- ficient. But would you be an efficient worker under sueh conditions? It is im- possible with the present vicious living conditions. We with our Indiffergnee farnish the seeds for bolshevisn; and anarchy. If the people owned® their own homes they would not seek to de- stroy but would fight for their homes. You ask what is being done about this problem? Nothing, practicallp noth- ing. Some corperations have built homes for their employes but tne emi- ployes are skeptical about this because they think there is some ulterior mo- tive. I will tell you what has been dome in Chicago to aleviate the suffering, and I will speak to you as though you were one of those who have to live in the crowded and unsanitary conditions. “This is the story of what is ecalled the Garden Homes—the story of the building, the allotment and the occupan- cy of the 175 brick, tile and stucco homes, located between State and In- diana avenue, and north of $9th street on the south side. It \ells how nine of Chicago’s citizens, who believe in you, got together and loaned hot only a sum of money of about a million dollars to 175 families, but it tells you how they risked their reputations—how they loaned their engineers, skilled men, offi- ces, automobiles, telephones, their large purchasing power—how they spent day after day and many nights—all to help these 175 families to own their homes, i t homes that would have cost these fami- lies from $7,500 to $8,000 apiece. And these families purchased these 175 homes at $35 to $40 per month, with a few hundred dollars pald down—and they only had to pay around $4,500 to $5,000 for them. These men—these nine individuals, and their associates—knew that they had the right idea. They had confidence in the workmen, the wage éarner, the me nand women wio are the backborie of Chicago. More than thirty other big, successful businéss men have lately joined the original nine mey, and each day sees méw business men joining the group—all giving their time, and lending the money to help you get a home for yourself and family. Live For Our Families. You naturally ask yourself, “What's behind this great movement?” It's a fair questien, and should have a fair, frank angwer. There is nothing to hide—so, a square from the shoulder answer is best. Busi men know that you do your best woPk when you are happy—when your liviig conditions are good—when your family is well fed and well clothed —when your life is insured—when you have health and accident insurance— when you know Yhat your family is tak- en care of, for all time to come. We are all alike—thers is no difference in any of us. We all live for our famiies. All Fight. ..0v, whet nese men want is that you shall have all of these things. They have investigated the .ousing conditions in thousands of cases and find that wye workingman and the | wage earner is, very often, poorly housed; that he is paying too much rent in many cases, and, where he is paying too much rent, he hasn‘t enough money for clothes and food and enter- tainment—to say nothing of not being able to buy a housc and have life insur- ance and hev * aceident. insurance. shey learned that thé werkingman was not satisfied and that he wanted all of these things, anu was willing to pay for them, if given a fair chance to secure them. Well now, these nine men ealled a meeting_after they really got to know the truth. As has been said before, they had confidence in Chicago workingmen. They called in enmgineers, architects and big contractors, men used to doing things in a bizg way. The conclusion of this conference was fhat i was agreed fo build 175 houses at once—these houses to be built of per- manent_construction so that they would be good for several gemerations—to be built of brick, tfle and eoncrete and to have eviyv modern convenience—hard wood flors, bath tubs, gas, water, elec- ric lights. zood rurnaces, screems, porches and last of all, to be beautiful- Iy landscaped, and to have a bigsgar- Inspeetion at Camp Major Rau.

These engi- neers and architects and centractors worked and worked, and finally, § ey said, “We can bulld 3s good a five or six room housé as money can buy, for around §4,500 to $5,000." They said, “This wiil not include the cost of the lot—that is an extra that will have to be added.” lveryone figured that a $4,500 or $5,000 house should set on & $1,500 lot anyway; and When the house and lot eost was run. up {033,500 or §8,« 500, they al thought it was too mucn,. Around $4,500 to $5.300 was all rigat, but $6,500. was too steep, and they were right. So one of these men said, “I think that we could lay somé of the property out for Dusiness lets, and get enough from the business lots to pay for ali ef the property—at the same time selling them at & reasopable price—and then we could put the lots, on which we will build the houses, in for nothing. Se it was decided _to do it that way, and it was done. The business lots were sold to Chicago business concerns and indi- viduals who, itke these original nine men, are interested in yew. Large Traet of Land Selected. A large tract of land, near good trans- portation, was the property selected. sterials were purchased, equipment was assemb.cu. lucn were employed, and it soon leaked like a great govers- ment camp. These 175 homes were built and thesl were seld to 175 of the finest fellows that you ecer want to meet—and they are all happy—very, very happy—with their hemes and their gardens. These 175 families see, for the first time, phat life really means. and the most wonderful pact of it is that the payments that they are mak- ing on their homes require less money each month, in many cases, than they were paying for rent bafore Mhey bouzht their homes—and, this $35 to 349 a month they pay toward their heuses in- cludes interest, principal, life insurance fire insyrance, health insurance and ac- cident insyrance. Just think of it! And in a comparattvely few years, they will have no more momey to pay and they will own their own homes, with their lawns and gardens ard trees and flow- ers. Mr. Rosenthal showed pictures of the | Somes in the various stage of construc- tion and the compieted homes. He al- 80 spoke of the method of fimancing the proposition by buying bonds which yield 6 per cent. interest. Many questions were asked of Mr. Resenthal amd ' im conclusion the speaker expressed the hope that Norwieh would take a stand for better housing facilities for no doubt Norwich has some of these same cramp- ed living conditions that are found in other cities. Mr. Rosénthal was given a rising vote of thanks at the conclusion of his talk. President Worth referred the matter of housing condition to the welfars ecom- mittee of the elab who met immediately after the meeting with Mr. Rosenthal. There were absut 46 at the mesting including fiftéen guests. President Worth extended the right hand of fel- lowship to four new members, Arthur G. Beck, George W. Carroll, Jehn J. McAuliffe and Arthur M. Thompsen. E Invited to Waterbury, A communication was read from the Waterbury Rotary club invitipg the lo- cal club to their annual , outing and sheep beke this month. Another commu- nication from the Lynn Rotary club was read relative to the New England conclave which i5 to be held at Swamp- scott on Sept. 15 and 16: Joseph N. \Weymouth was appointed chairman of the committee tu make arrangements for as many members as pessible at tending the conclave from the local elub. Dr. H. B. Campbell was appointed a8 chiairman of'a committee to confer with committees from the New Lordon Ro- tary and Chamber of Commerce and the local Chamber of Commerce for a dual outing to be held later. The meeting closed with the singing of The Star Spangiéd Banner. COTLD STORE MUCH COAL AT NEW LONDON If rail transportation should fail be?ses Connecticut gets in its winter supply of coal and the state should be brought face to face With actual “coal starva- tion,” means are available to transport the fuel in cases where price is a see- ondary consideration. This fact has been determined by an inquiry of the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce infe a broposal made by Secretary James G. Hammond of the New London Chambér of Commerce. 3 “The port of New London with its deep water, its excellent rail facilities, its big Connecticut state pier, is th sea-going port of Connecticut, mond has pointed out. We have eight large, empty ships now tied up to the state pier. ~ Adjacent to this are many acres of excellent storage land beleng- ing to the state of Conmecticut for the storage of dbal.” His suggestion is te have the stats chamber of commeree ask the United States Shipping Board to have these ves- sels manned and sent to southern tide water ports for-eargoes of ceal to be carried to New Leondon for storage on the state reservation, there te be available to Connecticut interests at a fizure cov. ering the total cost, the idea betng to use automebile trucks for the haul frem New Londen to facteries in the event of a serious tie-up. The study of the plan by Themas W. Russell, Connecticut fuel administrater, has brought him to the conclusien that, whilg the cost of procuring ceal in that manner would be prohibitive a3 matters now stand, it might after a selutien if railroads should suddenly cease te fume- tion properly at a time when the need for coal was imwerative. . In reply to a query from the state chamber on the suggestion of the New Londen Chamber of Commeres, Fuel Ad- ministrator Russell said that he thought there was “possibly some merit in this suggestion, at least 5o far as the theos ry_is concerned.” “Ag far as ‘the present situation Is concerned,” he sald, “it would be pracs tically impossible for these ships to re- ceive coal at Hampton Rouds because of the fact that ~there is a Vety great shortage in the amount Which is heing Joaded at Hampton Roads for the ordin- ary custemers in eastern New England who have dlways bought this coal.

The cost of storing coal, together with the very great cost of picking it up from the pile and loading it onto cars, would add almost a prohib- itlve eost by the time it arrtved in the yards of the consumer. The only- prop- er method, I believe, assuming that it is peesible to procure sufficient ceal, is to have the caal.earried direct to the stor- age yard of the consumer and storsd there.” RECEIVES XEW BULLETINS 5 REGARDING CANNING New bulletins on canning by the cold pack methad on piekling and the making of jellies, jams and marmalades, as well as preservation of vegetables by fermen- tation and salting, are on hand at the home garden office, food commissiome Hartford.

NEW FTRAFFIC BULES I'P FOR HEARING TONIGHT Tonight at § o’clock the hearing on the discontinuance of Rose alley 2s a public stand for hacks, express wagons and pub. lic serviee cars will take place. The ji neymen have been seeking advice on the question and will come to the hearing primed for action and to fight for the re- taining of Rose alley and Main street as a parking place. The opinion of the jit- neymen is that it the new rulings beeome effdtive they will - be unable to make a living, as they ave net allowed to solicit passengers en the main theroughfares of the clty. New London jitneymen are also worked up over the ruling that a fee must be paid to the city of Norwich before they can solicit passengers here. Thé New London men say that if they bring a load of pas- sengers to Norwich they must return to New London with an empty ear or eclse take out a city license. They claim that they have paid a state license which en- titles them to soliclt nassengers anvwhere in the state, and their argument is that the city has no right to charge them for a city license. Six public service machines have d appeared frem Rose alley since Monday. Two wero destroved, in the Swan garaze fire Tuesday afternoom and it is under- stood the others have been sold by their owners.

Keeps Hair In Curl On Hot or Windy Days Here's a_hair curling secret that is de- cidedly “worth while.” Just apply z little liquid silmerine before doing uy the hair, using a clean tooth brush for the purpose, drawing this down the hair from crown to tip. In three hours you will hate as beautiful curls and waves as you could wish for. The waviness will losk so nat- ural no one will guess it was artificially acquired. And it will last ever so long, regardless of heat, wind or dampness. You can obtain lisuid silmeérine at any drug store and a few ounces will last 2 long time. ‘It is neither sticky nor greasy and is pleasant to use. It is daybly use- ful because of also serving as a peneficial dressing, keeping the hair soft, silky and lustrous. Tomorrew never comes.
