one of the prominent hotels of Portland
are admitted to have been received and
proposals are still pending. - ;

FAMINE OF HOUSES .
It seems strange, that 'in this land -of
plenty we should have a famine, bui
evidently we have conditions .approach
ing this pinching scarcity along one line
at least.. This Is In the inadequate sup
ply of ; buildings One might say it is
a famine in houses homes but the
situation Is much broader, than that
In New York for example there Is an
acute shortage of housing accommoda
tions, office space, hotels, small shops
and loft buildings, -says the Woolman
Review,
The shortage in homes and the con-.
sequent profiteering In rent has brought
some practical suggestions . from the
state reconstruction commission of 'New
York and at a recent meeting it was
proposed, to form a (5,000,000 corporation
to . finance the building of model tene
ments for the housing of people In
.moderate - circumstances.
MIXLIOX& SEED HOMES " .
: unaer me -pian proposed lt. ) ex
pected that about 20,000. persons will
be able -to obtain living quarters at mod
erate- rates.. The corporation will be
backed by a group, of well-to-do New
Yorkers end will, take second mortgages.
for 20 per, cent of the cost of construe-
tion. The builders - will be expected to
advance1 20 per cent and the remainder
will be furnished by the big lending
corporations.
. This unusual step would, attract at
tention at any time, but Just ' now it
brings into : the full light of publicity
a striking situation. The scarcity In
to Portland by Laurelhurst company
buildings Is t not local.' -It extends over
the whole country. Traveling salesmen
report unprecedented ? difficulty . In ob
taining hotel accommodations In pracrf
tically every city of large or' moderate
sire .In the -country. In New York two
mammoth hotels have been' 'recently
completed and additions , - have been
made to others, but transient guests are
turned away nightly. -
PLANS OF MNXARD' INTERESTS a
i-As- a substantial Indication . of " the
rapid improvement now .taking place- in
the building situation, announcement is
made, in New York that . a new hotel Is
to be -constructed there . at ' once which -j
will represent total Investment of
47.500,000. "This ' Is the largest private
building entferprise launched In: New
York since. America's entry in the war,
and lt ts loeked upon as. the first of
a number of colossal building projects
to be brought out in the near future.
The new enterprise, which - will be
called Hotel Llnnard. marks the inva
sion of New York city ' by ther D. M.
Linnard organization, which' has .just
opened, the new $5,000,000 Ambassador
hotel at Atlantic City and operates the
Fairmont and Paicce in San Francisco-;
Huntington, Maryland : and Greene in
Pasadena, Belvldere in Santa Barbara.
Alexander and California, the latter of
wnicn is now in coacse or cqiwituuuod
in Loa Angeles. .The company also plans
to build tourist : hotels in , Seattle, Ta
coma and 'possibly at Portland, , .
OUTLOOK XEYEK BRIGHTER
S...W.. Straus A Co., who have arranged
to underwrite., an issue- -of first ,mart"
gage oper cent-, bonds on the ' Hotel
Linnard. has issued tJie following state
ment regarding the outlook. In the 'build
ing industry. "We believe America is
on the tbreshhold of unusual building
activities because . all interests, have
found that nothing. fs. to be gained by
holding off. The launching of the Hotel
Linnard la one of the. straws that 4ndi-
cate. .current, tendencies. There Is
much inquiry for capital both for build
in g purposes and for enlarging. and im
proving industrial plants and equip
ment. The country is so -far behind in
building and the x demand ' for new
structures is so much greater . than It
has been before. In .the history , of the
country thatt correspondingly unprece
dented activity may te looxea ror.
I here Is a; ring of real Americanism
In the statement of D. M.1. Linnard eon
cerning the new hotel r "It will not only
be our Ambition to make the Hotel. Lin
nard the finest enterprise . of the 'kind
in tne worm, ne aeciarea, dui it is
to be purely American in every , partlc-,!
ular. The United States leads the world
in all lines of . business and' industry
and there is no reason why we should
not also be in the lead in the matter of
hotel construction and operation.- It is
a , common mistake to assume - that
hotel enterprise, to achieve real distinc
tion, must borrow features from Europe
and .conduct Its business simply as an
imuaaon ; oi r European - conceptions.
There Is no reason, why ' the United
States should .take second place to any
other - nation -in 'the world In any line
of business whatever. : j,
