Watrous .American Civic Secretary ,Writes4o Real Es tate Board President Reorganization plans of the Cham ber of Commerce have been produc ts of ust onc 'hing after another in the wy of suggestions for "spokes" in the wheel of progress, but a letter which Herman P. Miller, president of the Harrlsburg Real Estate Board, has Just received from Richard B. Watrous, secretary of the American <- ivic Association, is particularly apro pos. <£. or 'J n hls letter Mr. Watrous, deals with the housing problem and of the importance of definite action along this line of improvement by the new Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Watrous, by the way, formerly lived here and is entirely famHiar with the city and its affairs. His let ter, however, was a direct result of the recent annual dinner of the Cham ber of Commerce as J. Horace M*-, Farland, president of the association, called the secretary's attention to the big affair. Mr. McFarland's refer ences to the addresses of Charles M. Schwab and Eugene Grace of the Bethlehem Steel Company, especially upon the question or the realty and housing problems, were mentioned by Mr. Watrous. The Housing Problem In discussing the housing probler* Mr. Watrous said: j l "As Steelton and Harrlsburg are t ] be very great beneficiaries of the nr relation that Mr. Schwab is to bff 1 tt> them, it seems to me that the & ' portunity is now open for HarrisbfK 1 to join with other cities in doin/ a very important work which canf>° ' done on a large scale to properly hf s e 1 the increased population of the/wo 1 cities—not only increased populifon, but the present population, for un derstand there is room for imfo v ®- 1 ment in that respect. "Our association has been kfplng in close touch with large movrients of this kind, and I am calling o your attention a movement well unce* way at Brldegport. .Conn., wher the de mand for housing Is acute, sn.i where under the leadership of thg Chamber of Commerce they have organised a million-dollar company wAich is to devote Itself to providing "More Houses For Bridgeport." Other Undcrtnklnfs "A similar undertaking s now un der way at Kenosha, Wiscoisln, waere they have a million dollais appripri ated for the same purpose. Kenjslia, I know to be a smaller city thanHar risburg, and with not nearly so large an industrial population as you have or as you are going to have. Tfidge port. Is a somewhat, larger ciy, but Harrlsburg has attempted big things, and I think it may safely be srid lhat no undertaking of a greater inport ance has ever presented itself co Har risburg than this immediate juestion of providing for the icreased hdustrial population. Offers Assistance ' "I am writing to you he'ause I know that you are Intimately related to the life o fthe city, know the possi bilities and opportunities for cutlining house extension, and to say toi.'ou that if there are any ways in wiich the American Civic Association tin he of assistance to you we want f-0 be of such assistance. "I could cite to you a good rainy other instances of really fine rfcvements that are under way for the landing up of little Industrial commutes, but I have cited these two Insinces of Bridgeport and Kenosha bfause they represent an organized movement, led in each instance by the locjl Chamber of Commerce or other connierce bod ies, resulting in the aijtup incorpor ation of companies to rarir out an ex tensive program of house building for operatives."

Yo*g Realty Expert, Shows Bv "City Beautiful" IdefS Working Out Gradual" l certain evolution of the ■ section o th ® Seventh Ward lying ! north of err street and east of tho - PennsyU'ia railroad, from a rather t congeste tenement district to a ' ger, bro er aml more progressive ne • gro res nt section, Is one of a num -1 ber of inarkable steps forward which ' Tlarris*"B has taken in a realty de \ eiopnflt way. ' only one of the component ! p-irts ■' the big problem of "the city : beaut-'I" idea which is being worked ' accor n f> to A. C. Young, one of the city'?eading real estate dealers. ' T1 various projects mean the ex " pen ure hundreds of thousands • of (liars so that if an outlay of real r mo'V Is at all indicative of the real ■ iz a > n the city's big scheme for a '• bljer, broader Harrlsburg, than the • ijj. year has done wonders toward > r<fhing the solution. Other Developments , Jn addition to the developments In hut was once known as Sibletown, 1 leso other Improvements have been . funpleted, are planned or are under *ay. Remarkable development of Cam eron street from Steelton to Maclay street expansion of the business sec tion at Third and Verbeke streets: building operations along Linglestown trolley line; Harrlsburg academy's new dormitory; Cumberland Valley rail road bridge and subways; post office building annex; storage warehouse* on South Tenth street; development of section between city and Penbrook. erection of Keystone bank building. Thud and Calder; erection of Hursh's new f.arage at Court and Cranberry streets; remodeling of 204 Locust street: erection of Minter apartment house on Second street near North. The Keystone Motor Car Company Is erecting a new building on Cameron street near Market while the City I.aundry's new plant at Sixth ani Boas streets Is well under way. Changing Residential District The gradual changing of the o''l residential district on North Second street between Market and State is another notable feature of the city's (leve'opment. Many an old resldenca is being converted into a store or office building. Bellevue park and other out lying districts are being gradually built up In a residential way, however, ar.d the removal of the old home por tion on Second street can readily bo measured by the increasing numler of homes In the outlying sections. New houses are going up on Sixth street above Reel's lane, on Derry and other cross streets beyond Twenty first, or Front street above Maclay, on Chestnut street and Belelvue road, and out toward the State Arsenal. Additional street paving ajid more electric lights in the Bellevue section ara later improvements. Some Building Operations Among the other big building oper ations are: New apartment house on Second street, north of North, being built by J. Hervey" Patton; new dwelling of Charles H. Bergner, corner Front and Delaware; new business building of C. Boss Boas, Second and Market Square; Vanderloo apartments, 25 South Front street, new fronts on Market street stores, new houses and store room on Lucknow road near Rcckville trolley lines; new garage oC, Davis and Hargest on Muench near Third street. The biggest improvement which will affect the city as the "heart of distri bution," however, is the $325,000 warehouse and freight station build ings which are now being constructed by the Pennsylvania railroad in South Harrlsburg. $65,000 Moore Home to Be Modern Structure Plans for a new $65,000 Moose home to be erected on the site of the present building. Third and Boas streets. ar? fast materializing. Architect C. Harry Kain is drawing the plans, which call for a three-story brick building with a frontage on Third street of 4 8 feet and ; running back to Susquehanna street. [ The new building will be of strictly . fircjroof construction. On the first floor will be two storerooms, with a large bnnquet and dance hall at tho , rear. The second floor will be used exclusively by the lodge, with a large lobby, offices and cafe. On the third floor will be two large rooms for rent , ing on various occasions. The contract for the work will be awarded as soon as the architect has completed the j plans and work will probably start in the early spring. E. L. Rlnkenbach, chairman of the building committee, | at a meeting of the lodge last night spoke on the progress of the com mittee in regard to the new building. I Over GOO members attended the an nual oyster supper last night. Plans were also discussed for sending a I group of 504 uniformed members to the supreme convention to be held in i Pittsburgh next July. | YOUNG BUY'S STRKTCH FOR BUNGALOWS AT PERDIX • More than a mile of woodland on the slopes of Cove mountain has been purchased by A. C. Young, a local real estate dealer and development promo f ter, and operations will begin at once % on the construction of additional bun • galowc and summer homes in that t section. The big tract, formerly the property , of the William Kirby estate, com ) prises some 400 acres. A level strip of fifteen odd acres at Perdix will make especially desirable sites for fu ture homes of Harrisburgers.
