HOUSING PLAN PICTURED STEP TO PROSPERITY City Contractor Points Out Huge Slump in Construction. A study of the trend of building conditions in the city has led A. V. Stackhouse, Indianapolis contractor, to draw a chart which indicates that not only is the emergency housing plan necessary to the survival of building in the city, but also important in the general economic situation. From records at city hall, Mr. Stackhouse finds that the total value of building permits in the city has dropped from $26,000,000 in 1922 to less than $3,000,000 for 1932. Mr. Stackhouse declared he found that while $12,000,000 was spent to house 3,300 families in 1922, only $600,000 was spent for 130 families in 1932. Another curve, plotted on his chart by Mr. Stackhouse, shows that in the years 1922, 1923 and well into 1924. an average of $26,000,000 a year was being spent in construction employing more than 12,000 men. Now when only $3,000,000 a year is being spent, less than 1,500 men in the building trades in the city are able to get employment, according to Mr. Stackhouse. “Unemployed workers in the construction field number about 25 per cent of the total number of unemployed men in the city,” Mr. Stackhouse declared. “The projected housing plan
