ay 22, 1937 s ublic Housing ( i'HE AMERICAN STAND/. .* . AKIl OF LIVINti r l ... - - ? h One-third of iill tlu1 American i, people know nothing f otn person ! al experience of tli American I standard of living. Authorities t estimate that 10.000 families live n in slum conditions. I This beautiful phrase frtfm. tb. v two-chickens-in-ovc y>pot. a v e :i v means different things to each of i us. Perhaps it is easier to say .1 what the American standard inot, so we may net down to cases \ quickly. ( There cann >t lie any disagree- i ment, surely, with the idea that ,\ a house of 'he AniericTtit standar I means one that does not leak. It v is in livable condition, i.e., in a reasonable state of r-pair, wit it . floors, walls and stairs safe fo 1 adults a ad children. We may l'air- i ly 4go fi-ytlier, and say .that i \ ( should have at least one outlet j * for mining water and a family toilet. Could we venture to expect a l.ath, too? a Yet millions' of American work homes <io not even approach t these modest requirements. In lO.'M,. the Department of Com > mo ice lmiclo a study of housing in j 01 typical cities, at least one in < every state, covering 1,500.(1011 v?ttwcllinrr units. The frtllowinir (iy- i uros are based only on that total. and slio Id be mentally multi i plied by -0 to,visualize the condition fop the- entile ''country. < More than 27."),OOP ot" th s i homes . . . oVt r ont'-sixth . . . . either needed major ropuiis oi ; were unlit to. livj in.. Approximately 75,000 had no running, c water; 202.OOI boasted no indoor toilet; and .'ttnl.OOO la ked any-pm- i vision for bathing; .1 In New York there are WlV.OO 1 inha! itcd -rooms whnh. are wir.,nlowiess. many.of them the only 1 aeeommoilaliim- for entire- fami- I lies. Th'.ee-fourths of all dwelling unites in one New York e nsn; 1 tract have .no lit it. 57 percent n ? ( * bathing facilities, and (Hi pi rceiw--! no toilets. Though many have oecn 1 ondemned by city hca (. i ! c>r building authorities.- they as . still occupied sintply because itidents can find ttoj other place-t ? , huddle. St. Loujs has a large area whet; ; 75 percent <jd' the houses'lack pi i vate indoor toilets. Pittsburgh shows nearly 11.000 houses out of 25JHIO studied, whi.h elthei netdid major repairs .or \it;ie on jit to live in. One-seventh of th Minneapolis . houses-'me' unlit l'o habitation. . . Two out of every th'e- dwell ings in the cities analyzed by 11 > Department of Commerce lacked cither hot or cold running water -and S pet cent, have neither. A C - I tai of 17 percen' pos-e ; no pli-j k vatc irdoor water closet, and olti fourth no I?:tt hiutr 1'ariliij-s; Onethird provide only- coal or woo I . stoves for cooking. This situation- can l>c duplicated in literally every city through out the t'niled States. Indeed i"' is found in cities jrtul towns of any size. Wayne, for example, is On ' of IMiiladelnhirt's sului 1-s. which . are justly ielehratod us home com- t inunities. Yet inttil the Housing Division of I'WA stopped in a f< w month.- iv-'o. it containc 1 , two-acre housing cesspool where tin and wooden shacks sheltered ' 101 people possessing only si*--* outdoor toilets. i These figufes give a sl.ight pic- ' lure of the physical extent-of ih ' 1 housing problem. Why do . two- ' i thirds of our industrial workers 1 even those lucky enough to have ? had jobs during the depression. continue to live in the slums? ' What can be. or should be, done about it? How does the poison J exuding from the festering slum- 1 affect the rest of lis? t Mrs. K. B. Mcintosh, instructor i of the adult class he id a very . commendal le closing ijroeram.
