Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Housing Problem, in War and in Peace Why has the provision of shelter for workmen come to be called "housing"? Why has housing become a problem? Why cannot workmen build their own houses? Why will nobody build houses at the present time? It is intended that these questions shall be fully answered in the following pages. When we acknowledged that we were unprepared for war, did we realize that the backbone of modern war-making is decent housing? That the weakest spot in our armor was the lack of decent houses for millions of the workmen upon whom the burden rests? Now that we have found this out through the costly and dangerous delays in building ships - and in every other industrial activity - do we not see that we have never been prepared for Peace? Of all the nations of the world, the United States stands alone in its tenacious adherence to the policy that decent houses can be provided by rigid "tenement-house laws." Such an archaic policy is about as well calculated to produce good houses as a regiment of archers would be useful in France at the present time. For months, we have blundered and muddled over the housing question raised by war. The full story of what this has cost will be written at some future time. Now, Congress has appropriated $50,000,000 with which to make a start toward housing the workers in our shipyards. Other millions - many and many millions - will have to be spent for this purpose, and this book is intended to provide the information by means of which the people of the United States may form their own conclusions as to whether or no our attitude on this vital question shall be as enlightened as that of the rest of the world, or fall back on a par with the intelligence of the dark ages. The illustrations are published, not as suggestions for the solution of our problem, but as examples of the scope and thoroughness with which others have already dealt with the question. All of the material which follows, with the exception of a few illustrations, is reprinted from the Journal of the American Institute of Architects, issues of September, 1917 to February, 1918, inclusive.

This period may be lengthened by the time that it will take for the house building industry to reach maximum capacity following the war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Housing Problems in America: Proceedings of the 4th National Congress on Housing, Minneapolis October 6, 7, 8, 1915 To define satisfactorily such a broad provision as due process of law seems impossible. Yet it is a limitation upon governmental action which the state must observe and the courts enforce. Its obvious purpose is the protection of private rights against governmental inter ference except Where made in the furtherance of the legitimate purposes of government. But what are the legitimate purposes of government? They must be ascertained by reference to the legal and governmental theories current when the due process provisions were written into our fundamental law. Most of the at tempts to define conclusively the police power have in fact been efforts to state or summarize these purposes. It is frequently defined as a power to regulate private rights in the interest of the public health, morals, safety, peace, and welfare. The supreme court of the United States has declared that neither the amend ment (the fourteenth amendment) - broad and com prehensive as it is - nor any other amendment, was designed to interfere with the power of the state, sometimes termed its police power, to prescribe regula tions to promote the health, peace, morals, education, and good order of the people, and to legislate so as to increase the industries of the state, develop its resources, and add to its wealth and prosperity - Barbier V. Connolly, 113 U. S. 27. This is generally regarded as a satisfactory summary of the legitimate functions of government, though it is by no means clear that a care ful study of our legal and governmental history might not disclose other functions such as the power to protect those economically weak from the aggression of the strong. The existence of such power seems to be evi denced by the presence of usury and other like laws in our legal history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rural Housing: With a Chapter on the After-War Problem The problem of rural housing is both an acute and an urgent one. Great as is the interest being taken in this subject, and considerable, in some respects, as has been the improvement effected in recent years, it is important to realize that we are really making no substantial advance towards its satisfactory solution. It is a problem of considerable complexity, and to solve it accurate knowledge is essential both as to existing conditions, the influence being exerted by legal enactments and the obstacles in the way of its solution. In the chapters which follow, I have endeavoured to accurately and fairly consider these different aspects from the standpoint of one engaged in practical administrative work and acquainted with the great difficulties in the way of satisfactory progress. Although housing should be of vital interest to politicians it is in many ways unfortunate that it has been made, to some extent, a party question. This book is not concerned with political capital, only with promoting efficient rural housing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Symposium on War Housing: Held Under the Auspices of the National Housing Association, February 25, 1918, Philadelphia On the question of temporary and permanent housing, I should like to repeat much of what I wrote to the President on the 23d of January last. It is the testimony of the shipbuilders and the big gun manufacturers that skilled labor cannot be held long in temporary quarters, and that the days output of middle-aged, skilled men is curtailed by barrack living and separation from their families. The turnover, the record of attendance and the day's record of accomplishment are ample evidence that the production of ships and munitions is directly dependent on living conditions, i.e., houses. Plant equipment and raw material will not produce ships and guns unless enough labor can be hired and held. Practically every plant is operating at low efficiency because the men cannot be held. They cannot be held because they cannot secure homes. In this the statements of employers and employees agree. The problem of producing ships and guns, in so far as it is dependent on housing, is two-fold. 1. Need for temporary houses. 2. Need for permanent houses. This is determined by: First - The probable permanent need for labor after the war. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Defective Housing and the Growth of Children Houses is totally inadequate for the preser vation of health. The poetry of life does not exist for these dwellers in the rooms of our mean streets, which stretch for mile upon mile without variation in their squalid misery. In the East End of London, every here and there, there are squares where trees are planted. To allow of the trees living the houses are well set back, permitting the entry of sunlight and fresh air neces sary for the growth of the trees. Care is taken that the trees are planted at a sufficient distance from one another to prevent over crowding, which would stunt their growth. But in the dwellings where young life is to be brought up no such care is taken. Street upon street is crowded one upon another in apparently endless succession, to the exclusion of everything that makes for growth and health. We know that these conditions are inimical to health. An excellent criterion of the unhealthiness of the housing conditions is to be found in the incidence of tuberculosis, which increases in prevalence as the house accommoda tion becomes more limited and objectionable.
