HOUSING DELEGATES
BACK STATE CODE
TContinued from First Page]
Church concluded their sessions. Most
of the delegates left the city on after
noon trains.
With D. W. Harper, of Brie, as
chairman, the sessions were opin
ed this morning with a paper by
.Edgar A. Weimer, of Lebanon,
president of the State building code
commission. Mr. Weimer, unable to
attend, sent William Walker Johnson
in his stead. Mr. Weimer's paper
pointed out the absolute necessity of
having a comprehensive building code
to replace the sporadic laws now scat
tered through many statutes. He
pointed out that such a code would
protect all parties, builders as well as
tenants. The housing problem is one
that will In the near future, if it does
not now, concern State and nation, he
said, and the State should take an
active Interest in it. Mr. Weimer point
ed out that while housing conditions
were perhaps more acute in the cities,
they also were better looked after in
the big centers, and that the need of
the small town and of rural communi
ties for building, housing and sanitary
laws waa equally Insistent.
Many Foolish Laws
John J. Murphy, commissioner of
the tenement house department of
New York city followed. After com
mending Mr. Weimer's plea for a codi
fication of building laws and State su
pervision of housing, he presented an
interesting description of some of the
difficulties attending the work in New
York city, with its dense population
and large influx of foreigners. He
pointed out the number of foolish and
inadequate laws that cumbered the
statute books, as well as commending
much good legislation that has been
accomplished the past several years.
Following Mr. Murphy's address
rsune August Hlller, chief accountant
and statlstlcan of the Pittsburgh board
of public education, who read a very
practical paper on financing, pointing
out some of the difficulties that are
met by the man of moderate means In
securing his own dwelling, and sug
gesting several ways by which the
problem might be met. While not
advocating direct State aid, Mr. Hll
ler suggested that at least some sort
of public fund might be used for the
purpose of helping the man of mede
rate means erect his own home, the
fund to return only a small amount of
interest.
Congressman Warren Worth Bailey
of Johnstown, was unable to be pres
ent at the meeting nnd sent his re
grets by letter which arrived this
morning. He was to have spoken on
taxation.

without griping. Please don't think
of "California Syrup of Figs" aa a
physic. Don't think you are drugging
yourself or your children, because this
delicious fruit laxative can not cause
Injury. Even a delicate child can
take it as safely as a robust man. It
is the most harmless, effective stom
ach, liver and bowel regulator and
tonic ever devised.
Tour only difficulty may be In get

Discuss Waste Disposal
At the afternoon session late yester
day, following an Informal discussion
of waste disposal for small towns at
the Chamber of Commerce luncheon.
Director George Norris, of the Depart
ment of Wharves and Docks, Philadel
phia, presided, and the topic discussed
was a city planning progress. Dr.
Carol Aronovici, of the Philadelphia
Suburban Planning Association, de
clared that the shifting of population
I to the great centers created grave
problems in regard to housing, and
that lowering of housing standards
constitutes a danger to civic advance
ment and a waste of the most valu
able source of resources we possess—
our human resources.
Benjamin H. Ludlow, Philadelphia,
and Frederick T. Bigger, of the Pitts
burgh Art Commission, spoke yester
day afternoon, while last night Shar
rard Ewing, Reading, was the prin
cipal speaker. The great need In our
cities to-day, he said. Is for houses
that rent from $9 to sl4 a month.
John J. Maloney, of the State Depart
ment of Health, said that the need for
housing reforms is more imperative
In America than in China. John
Meelltor. chief of the Philadelphia
bureau of housing, exhibited colored
slides showing the advancement made
by European countries in community
planning and housing.
Those In attendance at the meet
ings to-day were:
