THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTL AND, SUNDAY MORNING, I AUGUST 1915. 19 HOUSING PROGRAM IN PORTLAND NOW STANDING STILL Local Subscriptions Are Lacking , as Are Assurances of Govern ment Aidof Project. . . 1 : 1 'HOUSING SURVEY IS NEEDED City's Requirements Are Being . Revealed by Investigation Rec ommended by Architects. Lacking local subscriptions or assur snoe of government aid, Portland's housing program for war workers has coma to a pause. Herbert Gordon, chairman of the Joint housing committee of the Chamber of Commerce and the Realty board, has asked to be . relieved of further duty. His. position Is that committee effort without support Is futile. ' Such questions remain unanswered as the following: Should Portland have a housing sur vejrt Will District Officer L. J. Wentworth of the Emergency Fleet corporation create a local bureau to encourage house construction for shipyard workers? Can the creation of a grievance com mittee under some degree of federal au thortty be secured? Will the city council pass the proposed housing code which automatically would put the kibosh on any plans for old style s tenements or barrack shelters for ship workers fcy making It unlawful for any person tot be unprovided with adequate light, air. water and sanitary facilities. ,No Government Help. District! Officer Wentworth Bays there need be no further expectation that the government will even partially finance any house building organization in Port land. The city will be expected to meet Its own requirements. Future contracts will depend In large ' measure on this . city's' "pjant organization." The gov ernment'si definition of the term in cludes not only Industrial facilities,, par ticularly tn the direction of shipbuilding, but ability to house the workers prop erly. This position of the government is declared liot to single Portland out'for discrimination but is said to be expres sive merely of a general policy. But thereby the onus Is clearly placed upon Portland Interests. The Joint housing committee recom- . mended the organization of a housing company. 'It was to be financed through a public campaign, some of the finan cial leaders having headed the subscrip tion list. I A return of. say, 7 per cent was contemplated. Houhph were to be built a few at a time until experimental features of the plan were proved feasible.- Mr. Gordon complains that the fi nancial leaders did not respond. Among the reasons for failure to support the project were : i , fteasons Are Given 1 The war cost of building materials with ' sharp depreciation probable after; the war, making any Investment uneer talrt of returns. ' 2 The feeling that the government ought to absorb. In some way, the dif ference between normal and the present abnormal costs of dwellings. '. I Lack of exact knowledge as to "whether thie city needs 500 or 5000 new homes to shelter the population brought here by war Industries, the number, of course, being contingent on the ability ef existing residences to 'meet the need. 4 The hope that if neither the gov rnment nrtr private Investors should undertake to build houses, the city as whole might undertake the venture. A housing survey competently conduct ed would reveal the city's needs. Such a survey has been recommended by the Portland chapter of the American In stitute of Architect. It wu urged by Thomas Adams, famous housing expert of England and Canada, who was re cently here. The architects' committee pointed out that the authority with which such a survey could be reported would be In proportion to the authority of those engaged to make it, Offer 'TSot Taken Vp j A suggestion that the Industrial Hous-j Ing corporation recently created wlthlnj the federal department of labor, might be induced to undertake the survey was answered by wire from The Jour nal's Washington bureau that "the hous ing corporation makes Investigations "and allotments only upon request of some representative of the war departj rnent or navy after such representative stationed at some plant engaged in war work, reports he believes it necessary for that particular work." t The -architects, through their commit tee, offered their services free to; the Chamber of Commerce in the prepara tion of pjans, but this offer has not been taken up. . f As. to the housing bureau in the local office of 'the Fleet corporation, ..District Officer Wentworth has been understood to be on the point of announcing the creation of such a bureau with the ap pointment of a director whose- salary the Chamber of Commerce offered ;to bear, but the announcement is as yet withheld. , ; The urgency for the appointment ; of an authoritative grievance committee also comes from the Chamber of Com merce, whose officers feel that only committee under government appoint ment could Inspire in it the confidence of all classes as it ': investigated com plaints,- of profiteering In rentals. The connection between the housing code, proposed by the Portland Housing association for passage by the city coun cil, with a house building program, might seem at first thought somewhat vague. But it has been repeatedly point ed out that Portland's port and indus trial development will be largely de pendent on retaining here the skilled artisans now engaged principally in shipwork. The experience of other cities points clearly to the conclusion that de sirable workmen can be kept here per manently only by providing them with other Jobs when shipbuilding wanes and by building for them houses, worthy Of the name "home." The housing code is aimed at houses and rooms that lack light, ventilation and water supply. The association has reported that In numer ous parts of the city people are forced by inability to find better quarters to live In rooms without outside light, with Improper ventilation and with such lim ited sanitary facilities that a dozen or more families might be found using the same bath tub, hydrant and toilet. The housing association has been at work during a period of five years. A code has been prepared. A lack of aggressive ness has slightly delayed its submis sion to the city council. When it does appear, some resistance has been antlc 1 pa ted from owners of rental property who would protest that the cost of prof vldlng light, air and sanitation under the (first unit of medical school nearly ready REALTORS EXPECTING ' rr- - : : : A -' r'v " c ' - : - ' "v ' "' ' ii TTwratinnri i rtnwTiriniTiiiiT m hi isihiii m m i - - j nm iisiwuw srne n nui U. of i Mackenzie Hall, first unit ' of new Medical School, 0-, Mackenzie Hall, the first of a group of buildings to be erected for the medical school of the University of , Oregon on Marquam Holl. is in an advanced stage of construction, and will be completed as soon as shipments of terra cotta for cornice and trimmings are received.

' The site of the medical school com prises 23 acres and It is planned at a later date to accommodate hospital build ings for the city of Portland and for Multnomah county, with the 'possibility of a state hospital for the care of re turned soldiers and victims of industrial accidents. In the opinion of Dr. Kjen neth A. J. Mackenzie, dean of the medi cal school of the University of Oregipn, and his associates, hospitals of the city, county and state could be operated . in conjunction more economically than in widely separated locations. The site is the gift of the Oregon Washington Railroad & Navigation cfnv pany. The cost of the building rjow under construction will be about $115i000 and the estimated expenditure for the entire group, including the hospital buildings, about 3750,000.

Cowgill, secretary of the Portland Realty board and also secre tary of the Interstate Realty association, has been spending the last week in Se attle, Tacoma, Bellingham, Everett and other Sound cities rounding up realty dealers In preparation for the third an nual convention of the Trl-State associa tion In Seattle August 29. 30 and 31. This will 'be the most Important gath ering of real estate dealers ever held In the northwest. It is expected that fully 150 Portland realtors and their families will be in attendance at the convention, the majority of tl.em making the trip by automobile. Delegates will be in attendance from all sections of Oregon, Washington Idaho and Montana. Real estate men of Vancouver and' Victoria, B. C have bean Invited and plan to be present. From present indications there will be an attendance of a least 1000. Naturally problems arising out of the participation f the United States in the war on the German empire will take precedence over all other considerations at this convention. The National Asso ciation of Realty Board and local boards throughout the country are lend ing invaluable assistance to the govern ment, in the appraisal of lands pur chased for military purposes. They have given whole-hearted moral and financial support to every patriot. enterprise and thousands of their membership have en listed in various branches of military and naval service. One of.Jt.he most important subjects coming up before the convention for discussion is the proposed state license law. The need of legislation to protect the public and the legitimate realty pro fession from the machinations of un scrupulous dealers has long been evi dent. The proposed law would require that all real estate dealers and their No.. Summer Letup In Realty Expected The dally business "record of Rltter.

A law similar In many respects to the one proposed for the Northwest, was in effect for a time in California with most beneficial results, but was annulled by the supreme court of that state because of faulty construction. Altered to meet the requirements of the courts, the bill will again be presented at the next meeting of the California legislature, according to advices re ceived from prominent realty dealers of that ' state. It is said to be highly probable that the California bill will carry and it is the hope of real estate dealers of all the states to be represented at the Interstate convention that their legislatures will act favorably on similar bills.
