Standards Urged For Trailer Courts Chicago (U.R) The idea that the trailer court is usually a new type of slum is a mistake, ac cording to the American So ciety of Planning Officials. But, the organization said, communities only compound the mistake when they shunt trailer courts into fringe areas where regulation is difficult, or into industrial or commercial areas where there is little incentive to keep up residential stand ards. The society said cities should adopt detailed standards for the zoning, the layout and the loca tion of trailer courts. It said trailer courts are part of the na tion's housing supply and should not be treated primarily as tour ist quarters. Courts for trailers should be recognized for what they are: sites for residences that are per manent even though they are not stationary, the society said. Cities recognizing this fact will be spared the need for jerry built housing for construction workers, the society said, and trailers have spared many com munities from "ghost town" areas left when the workers move on to new jobs in new places. A study showed that rolling homes are being used more and more as permanent housing, and may gather moss for as long as a year or more in a single loca tion. The study showed that while in 1937 about half of all trail ers were used by vacationers, by 1955 this figure had shrunk to less than one per cent. Of the three largest groups of trailer dwellers in 1955, 63 per cent consisted of persons in mobile or semi-mobile occu pations such as construction work. Twenty per cent were military personnel and 10 per cent retired persons. Tulainyo Lake in California at an elevation of 12.865 feet is the highest lake in the United States.
