Tribun Thirtieth Year (Twenty Pages Two Sections) rut associated r MEDFOKD, OREGON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1935. full t'oiifiS Trraa ins KflFTEB By Paul Mallon (Copyright, 1935, by Paul Mallon) WASHINGTON, Oct. 25. The baste for an extensive residential building campaign has been placed on Presi dent Koosevelts desk, or nearby, ft is In the form of a confidential report from Peter Grimm and aa wciatea. They are the New York real estate ex perts imp o r t e d into the treasury d epartment to plan something big on housing. Mr. Grimm has PALt MALLON been prying quietly Into local conditions In the area east of the Mississippi and has found that existing housing facilities are 93 to 08 per cent occupied. Or. as a real estate expert always puts it, vacancies are 2 to 4 per cent. This is a rather surprising figure because normal vacancies generally amount to about 10 per cent. It means time is ripening for a hous ing boom. Mr. Grimm and company are sup posed to take the, view that the boom Is certain within three years, but that & more deplorable trend will come first. They foresee a perpendic ular rise In rents. This, they say, has already started. Imperceptibly. What they mean by imperceptibly is that residential rentals are now tend ing to slide up 5 to 10 per cent above last year. The boom, as they see it. will cause a spiral cycle on building which will Jast a few yeaTB until the country is again overbuilt. Then will come another depression, lasting un til the country again catches up with the builders. This is inevitable, they say, but a swift siart now on a federal housing promotion campaign may take alti tude from the spiral and level It off somewhat. Apparently no new federal agencies are needed, in their opinion. What they want to do is to create home building urge among the people. Home buildings shows will be opened In large cities around the first of the year. These will be held In armories, etc.. will display model homes, fine modern home' building equipment, Incite the housewife to prod the husband into building a borne of their own, Mr, Grimm and company think it can be done. Mr. Grimm has applied foot-ease to all the toes he stepped on around here at first; that is, alt except one. His trouble with Secretary Ickes still continue. But then, Mr. Ickes has always been another government in a different country. He is sticking tc his low cost housing Ideas, which put the government In direct com petition with what Mr, Grimm has in mind. When Mr. Orimm talka housing, he means homes coating from 2,500 to 7.5O0, privately built. (ContlDed on Page Eleven) MONTGOMERY WARD CO. AUTHORIZES DIVIDEND CHICAGO, Oct. 25.
