Senators' Probe of
U. S. Housing' Is
Held Worth While
Industrial Secretary of C. of
C. Uphold Trip of Solons
Over Country; Will Help
Building, He Says.
J. M. Gtllan, manager of the in
dustrial bureau of the Omaha Cham
ber ofi Commerce, who served ss
secretary on the special committee
which met with the senate recon
struction committee, headed by Sen
ator William M. Caldir of. New
York, to discuss the hdusinpc situa
tion here -last Saturday, issued a
statement yesterday upholding the
value of the trip the committee is
makinpr across the country.
"While everybody agrees that the
practical' way to relieve the housing
situation, is to build more homes,"
Mr. Gillan declared, "the question
of where the money is Roinfr, tor
"Ome from and who will furnish it
is the rub. All great constructive
movements require a good deal of
agitation in order to get them prop
erly started, and the housing situa
tion is no exception to the rule. Vast
suims of money formerly flowing in
to house building have been diverted
within the past tWree years into other
channels, , and something must be
done to start the dollars rolling
again into house building. V
"Work Worth While," .
"A great many people no doubt
felt that the hearings held by the
United VUates senate committee
throughout the country would be of
practically no value, and in fact I
was rather inclined to that opinion
myself. But after-getting into the
work of preparing for this hearing,
which required more than a week of
getting briefs from the business men
of Omaha, covering every viewpoint
from the monev loaner to the me
chanic, I am fully convinced that the
work was well worth while;' and
such hearings tend to bring this im
portant matter before the public .and
before the coneress ef the United
States with much greater force than
the ordinary discussions could have
produced.
"Senator Calder Is sponsor for a
hill introduced in congress by which
it ;s proposed that the srovernment
s-!l loner-time bonds for the purpose
nf creating a fund which will be ued
rxclusivelv for home building. The
t'unds derived from the sale of these
bonds will be distributed thr.iuffhout
the country to the building and loan
associations, ?n exchange for real
estate mortgages. The plan looks
practical and if it is. it will enable
th building and loan pssociatinn to
enlarge their scone of home building
because they will hae more funds
lor that purpose. . .
" To Benefit Omaha. ?
-"Omaha stands in the very front'
rank of homt building, by and
through tfie building -.and loan as
sociations, and if this pronosed plan
iidvocatcd by Senator Calder and
others should prove to be feasible
;incj is adopted, tic Umaha associa
tion's will undoubtedly be benefited.
TUn the other hand, if the plan
oocs not meet with the approval of
the building and loan associations
and financiers of the country, then
some other plan must be devised
and put into use at the earliest pos
sible moment. ' '
Gives Much Light.
"Senator Calder stated several
times at the hearing here that his
trip over the country had been of a
great real of value to him and had
thrown much light upon the situation
in various communities, which, he
and his committee would not have
had without meeting 'he business
men and people face to face, and
learning of their difficulties and
pioblems as thev actually exist in
each community."
"Marrying Parson" Replies
To Dr. Cobbey 6 Criticism
Rev. Charles W. Savidge, the
"marrying parson," repl;ed to
charges of Rev. C E. Cobbey of the
First Christian church that vhe
"tipped court house elevator men to
send him cbples to be married," by
declaring "if anyone assists me in
my work it is my privilege to re
ward them."
He denied he was commercializing
marriage or destroying its sanctity,
