HOUSING PROGRAM
IN PORTLAND NOW
STANDING STILL
Local Subscriptions Are Lacking
, as Are Assurances of Govern
ment Aidof Project.

'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

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 building ia 60 by 198 feet and
three stories high,! of reinforced concrete
construction, faced with light tapestry
brick and terra cotta. The brick and
much of the other material used is
manufactured in Oregon.
Partitions throughout are of hollow
tile and are so constructed that they may
be easily removed: to afford larger space
to' the various departments housed in
the building.
Other units of the medical school for
which plans have already been pre
pared consist of a laboratory building
identical in construction with the one
now' nearlng completion and an adminis
tration building to house the offices of
the faculty. The; administration build
ing will face an ! open court lying be-

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. I

site Is easily accessible from the city
and is considered an ideal one for hos
pital and school purposes.
Plans for the ground floor of Mac
kenzie Hall 'call for a 'large assembly
hall, a lecture room, lounging room for
students, store rooms, shop, embalming
room, living rooms for the building at
tendants, and a boiler and heating plant.
On the second floor will be laboratories
for study and research work, general
offices of the school and for members
of the faculty, and a library room. On
the third floor will be the dissecting

abundance of equipment with which to
completely furnish the new building. It
is expected that Mackenzie Hall will
be ready for- occupancy late in the
autumn.
VERY OPTIMISTIC
FEELING PERVADES
CITY'S REALTY
A decidedly optimistic spirit pervades
Portland realty men. Dealers generally
are of the opinion that the present de
mand for small residence property will
later be reflected iri a stronger move
ment of higher grade parcels. Frank
L. McGuire says that this is the first
summer in 10 years in which sales have
continued with increasing strength
through July and August. He predicts
that the coming autumn will witness
the biggest movement in real estate ever
known in? Portland.
Recent sales reported by Mr. Maguire
include the following:

Paul A. 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

It is the hope of the realty men to se
cure Identical legislation for the four
states represented at the interstate con
vention. 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.

Possessed of vim and energy that
might well be the envy of many a

Richard R. Kenney. at nearly three
score years of age, today holds the rank
of major 1 and assistant Judge advocate
general in the United States army, and

sudden change from the quiet life of a
citizen prior to the outbreak of the
war to the severity of army life might
work a disastrous hardship on some
man who had passed the half century
mark. It was not so with Major Kenny.
He realised that the supreme tests of
war demanded great strength, power
and endurance. As a means to this end
In hlf own case he began taking Nux
ated Iron with the result that Instead
of growing weaker under the strain of
army service, as many older men often
are afraid they will. Major Kenney says
he enjoved a decided increase in vigor
and endurance and that with the sus
taining tonic of Nuxated Iron he has
had no occasion to weaken under the
most strenuous army duties.
General Horatio Gates Gibson. U B.
A. (retired), who entered the City of
Mexico in the war of 1817 with General
Winfield Scott, says he feels that every
soldier who goes to the front should
take Nuxated Iron. Geaeral David
Stuart Gordon. U. S. A. (retired), noted
Indian fighter and hero of the battle of
Gettysburg, says: "Despite my own
