HOUSING PROBLEM
BEFORE CHAMBER?
R. B. 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."

IdefS Working Out
Gradual" l certain evolution of the
■ section o th ® Seventh Ward lying

- PennsyU'ia railroad, from a rather
t congeste tenement district to a
' ger, bro er aml more progressive ne

' accor n f> to A. C. Young, one of the
city'?eading real estate dealers.
' T1 various projects mean the ex

■ iz a > n the city's big scheme for a

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.

the slopes of Cove mountain has been
purchased by A. C. Young, a local real

• galowc and summer homes in that
t section.
The big tract, formerly the property
, of the William Kirby estate, com
