STATE HOUSING AID , URGED BY IHLDER Financing of Building Through Loaii3 to Trust Companies Is Advocated The financing ot building operations by the state through loans to trust companies was advocated today by John Ihlder, secretary of the Philadelphia Housing Association, in commenting on the Buchcr tenants' bill. This measure, designed to compel landlords to give renters ninety days' ndtlce to move, Is to be left slcepjb'gJ'inX ' n legislative committee, mioruiauon from Harrisburg Indicates. , ' , Mr. Itilttcr today .said lie did not be lieve legislation would be very cffeqtlvct , in solving the housing problem that now Is and lias been confronting this city. , x "The main solution," he said, "is the btiU'Hng of more homes.' This Vlll require the extension of water mains nnd 'sewers,. At present there are only 3C00 lots in this city on 'improved streets. An Improved street is one equipped with sewers nnd water mains. "Some cities have adopted the plan ot taxing unused land. Thnt plan, In a way, leads to more Intensive building. More houses are built on less space. What is desirable Is more houses, with ns much space around them as possible. Intensive building has u tcudency to crentc tenement conditions. "A'solution would be the loaning ot more capital by the state to trustworthy trust companies so that building would be stimulated." Appraisers' Bill Revived Harrisburg, June 11.
