Philadelphia's' -answer to the ques
tion of now'to' keep rehts.dowii to; a
reasonable basis. ' The tenant popu
laUort is in desperate straits for rents
have'-been going higher and higher
and no end seems to be ia sigh i. The
scramble for homes in the suburbn is
so acute that when one woman moved
some of the furniture out of her
home, the other day, in order to clean
the , house, 25 . persons tried to rent
it from her within a few hours.
To stop the profiteering in rents
and homes, several organizations are
attempting to unite on a program of
house building to continue for at
least six months or until the shortage
has been relieved.- These organiza
tions include Associations of Ten
ants, Trade Unions, representatives
of , the building trades and mortgag
ing companies.' They have been ask
ed; to-undertake this work by the De
partment of Public Welfare.
Meanwhile camping ground acces-
rsible by street cars is in great de
mand.' Tent manufacturers say mora
orders" have Been placed for tents
this month than ever before in Phil
adelphia's history.
There is ah unprecedented amour t
of building of cheap cottages and
buflgalov'8 within a radius of 30
miles of Philadelphia to accommo
date the .rush of tenants that ia ex
pected; when mild weather comes.
Those erected in one community cost
about f 600 each and are eagerly
rented at $350 for the season.
