DUBLIN.—Disappointment is ex-,
pressed in Belfast as well as in Dub
lin over the policy adopted by the
government to solve the problem
of providing homes for the people.
In Enarland the housing schemes
are said to be well advanced. In
Ireland, though the need is believed
here to be greater than in England,
nothing has been done and the plan
proposed by the government is
criticized as unsatisfactory and not
likely to produce the results de
sired.
In ' England the local authorities
are authorized to impose a penny
tax to meet the loss on building
schemes and the state will provide
funds necessary to cover the loss
not made good by the tax.
In Ireland there is to be no penny
rate. The local authorities will have
to borrow from the banks the
money necessary for building the
houses. The Irish Local Govern
ment Board, a body appointed by
the Castle and not regarded as re
sponsible to Irish opinion, will de
termine what is a fair rent for the
houses and the treasury will pay
part of the differences between the
rent paid by the tenant and the
amount necessary to meet the cost
of living.
It is considered likely that the
local authorities in Ireland will find
it difficult to borrow this money
from the banks, as these local au
thorities will be largely Sinn Fein
bodies which probably will treat the
Local Government Board as an
English authority to be challenged
and obstructed. Consequently the
prospects of success for the Irish
housing plan are not regarded as
hopeful.
A good deal of the unrest in Dub
lin is attributed to the condition
of the Dublin slums- Twenty-one
thousand families, about one-third
of the population, live in one room
tenements. The government in
spector has reported that about
£8,000.000 is needed for housing.
It is not believed possible that
Dublin could borrow eight millions
under the scheme proposed. Belfast
is a comparatively new city and has
not the same slum problem. But
it has an increasing population and
great shortage of houses.
It
wants nearly £1,000,000 for
h.- .
i
schemes it immediately contem-;
plates, and eventually will require!
£5,000,000. It has not the same!
hostility to the Local Government
Board that Dublin has, but it is;
about equally disappointed with the
proposals of the government.

Forest fires, which seem to be
pretty genera! at this season of the
year, are reported to be particularly
bad and menacing in the regions
bordering on Fairbanks.
Owing to the approach of these
fires toward the right of way of
the Tanana Valley railroad at
some places and also to the govern
ment farm at Ester Siding, a crew
of men were put out yesterday to
commence backfiring within the
threatened areas.
