BIG DEMAND FOR 1
MORE DWELLINGS
Concessions to Build-j
ers Who Will Develop !
Property in Borough
With the big plant of tjie Pennsyl
yan'a Steel Company employing nearly
i.OOO men and every tenantable house!
in the borough occupied, Steelton real
estate men and prominent citizens are
giving much thought to the housing;
problem.
In this busy steelmaking borough
this problem is more a question of
number of houses than quality, as
there is scarcely a dwelling of any
kind for rent here at this time, ac
cording to real estate men.
This scarcity of suitable dwellings |
has been retarding the normal, healthy I
growth of the borough, declare real !
estate men, and much thought is being i
given some solution to the problem.
A suggestion worth thinking over is
made by a prominent citizen. It is j
this: "Induce the borough council to !
make concessions to prospective build- j
ers for a definite period of say six
months. These concessions might in- j
elude exemption from taxation for two j
years, free water lor a similar time J
and free connections to the sanitary
sewers.
"Such concessions," declared this i
man, "would quickly induce builders ;
to recognize the demand for moderate j
priced homes here and it would be a !
paying proposition for them to build !
undf'r these conditions. Such a plan 1
would also work out to the ultimate j
advantage of the borough, for after j
the exemption period there would be a !
steady Inflow of taxes and water rents i
to the borough treasury."
To Place Fountains. ln addition j
to the apparatus at the various play-!
grounds. Supervisor James R. Irwin is >
planning to have sanitary drinking j
fountains placed near each play
ground.
Pienic Plans Complete. Arrange-'
ments have been completed for the;
annual picnic of employes of the boil-1
er and car repair shops at the steel
works to be held on an Island opposite I
the Frog and Switch department Sat
urday. The employes will march to i
Francis street boat landing headed by j
a brass band. A feature of the day
will be a baseball game between teams !
from the two shops. The committees !
in charge of the outing includes T. I
Lickel, Maurice Howard, James Cum
mings, Charles Miner and J. W. Yes-1
tadt.
To Attend Booster Meeting.—Plans (
for attending a booster meeting at |
Linglestown next Monday will be j
made by members of Steelton Council, j
162, Order of Independent Americans
at a meeting this evening. The local j
members will go to Linglestown by ]
automobile.
