[[underlined]] SYNOPSIS [[/underlined]] V. HOUSING SHORTAGE The Capitol has a perennial housing and with coming of the New Deal and its thousands of emergency workers and additional employees of other additional employees of other agencies this shortage has been accentuated. Tows and rows of monotonously hideous structures rent for high prices. Restrictions against children and pets prevail in a great many of the decent apartment houses. Once fine town houses which were scens of grander days are now boarding houses -- with pretentious exteriors and mean interiors. Realtors have tried to capitalize on the housing shortage by building ramshackle structures in the suburbs and better houses elsewhere -- all at prices far beyond what might be regarded as fair. Streets lined with parked cars are manifestations of the crowded conditions. Roomers who try to save money by cooking over a one burner electric hot plate are many. Rural slums show the need of resettlement in country areas. [[underlined]] SHOOTING SCRIPT [[/underlined]] HOUSING SHORTAGE 33. Crowded conditions are shown through rental signs and 34.
