ACUTE HOUSING
PROBLEM FACES
NEW YORK CITY
NEW YORK, Sept. 11 (by Associ
ated Press).—New York City faces a
housing situation this fall no less
acute than that which last spring
caused an army of tenants to march
on Albany demanding new rent laws.
Last spring the immediate housing
problem which faced legislators was
passage of measures which would pro
tect tenants, in a city where every
apartment was at a premium, from
grasping landlords. Next fall the
problem which is expected to engage
attention of state law makers is the
encouragement of apartment house
building.
The housing shortage this summer
has been the cause for sundry hear
ings by state and municipal bodies.
At each was heard the cry “We must
have more apartments.” But so far
there is little prospect that this de
mand will be met.
Experts have given it as their opin
ion that next fall, instead of having
more flats. New York’s meager sup
ply will be depleted by several hun
dred. The reason, they said was that
demand for office space, especially on
Manhattan, had caused many proper
ty owners to raze old apartments for
construction of commercial establish
ments which they could rent at higher
prices. Some experts asserted that
rent laws passed last spring, designed
to check the meteoric rise of rents,
had tended to check building of apart
ment houses.
The building trend was well illus
trated last month when plans for new
structures filed in Manhattan showed
to what Tittle extent propery owners

160,000 tdditional auartments. Con
struction of only one apartment house
and one single dwelling were filed,
whereas five theaters, 115 garages and
three loft structures are contemplated.
Normal construction in this city,
according to Tenement House Com
missioner Mann, is 28,000 apartments
a year, in addition to two family
houses and hotel apartments. Four
thousand a year has been the average
however, for the last four years.
Various plans have been suggested
for encouragement of home building,
including co-operative ventures and
use of the city’s sinking fund for
loans on bonds or mortgages. The
latter plan has been advocated by
Mayor Hylan, who is seeking to es
tablish the legality of such action.
AERIAL PATROLS TO
PROTECT FISHING
VANCOUVER, B. C., Sept. 10 (by
Associated Press).—Aairplanes are to
be used by the Canadian Dominion
government to work from Vancouver
on a patrol of British Columbia fish
ing waters, Colonel J. H. Cunning
ham, government inspector of fish
eries announced recently. Poachers
or fishermen using illegal methods
will be sought out by the aerial pa
trols. Colonel Cunningham said the
cost of the aerial patrol would not
be as great as the cost of the launch
patrol operated at present.
DUCKS DAMAGE RICE
FIELDS IN CALIFORNIA
WOODLAND, Cal., Sept. 10 ,by As
sociated Press).—Permission to use
bombs -to frighten away wild ducks
has been asked of the state fish and '
game commission by the B. P. Con
way ranch near here. The ducks,
it is said, are damaging rice in the
fields. An attempt to frighten them
by airplane has failed.
Weather bureau records show that
the average water temperature of the
ports of Prince William Sound, 30 de
grees above zero, is the same as that '
of New York and Boston, and that
of Nome (zero) is similiar to that of
Manitoba and Montreal.

Tongass forest, southeastern Alaska, <

per cent is spruce and hemlock timber, '
all suitable for pulp wood.
