Public Housing

Behind Patriotism Charges of hiding public housing behind a cloak of patriotism were hurled at the government this week by Bill Mohr, executive vice president of the Marion County Residential Builders. “The private home building industry has been cut 40 per cent by federal regulations—but at the same time public housing has zoomed to 10 times its usual monthly volume,” Mr. Mohr said. More than 42,300 public hous-

as compared to only 87,700 by private builders. “We've accepted federal regulations on credit and building materials because we feel that it is our duty as good citizens,” he said. “However, we don’t feel that in a time of shortages of steel, copper and aluminum that public housing should be permitted to

Meanwhile: Frank Cortright, executive vice president of the National Association of Home Builders, illustrated what he termed the failure of public housing. “Throughout the nation,” Mr. Cortright said, “People earning under $1800 annually cannot get into public housing—they can't afford it. “And yet, this is the type of person for whom public housing supposedly is being built,” he added.

What Should Your Landscaping Cost?

leading landscape consultant. “This amount,” she indicates, “is a sound investment. Any greater proportion would be unduly extravagant and due to bad planning.” Her estimiite includes everything outside of the home—driveways, walk, grading, lawns, shrubs, planting. If the landscaping has been carefully planned, the cost is recoverable when the property is sold, she adds. It is hardly necessary to spend all of this amount at one time on landscaping, she points out. Economy can be used in landscaping, as in any othér phase of decorating the home.
