"' Mr. William Mead, of the Whiting Mead Com,mercial ;Company, Los Angeles retailers, and also a member'of ,the Board of Freeholders of Los Angeles, at their last meeting befqre the L,os Angeles City Council, introduced a proposal for the creation of a Municipal Housing Commission, to finance the building of homes, and to aid the "peor,man to own a hom,e. The proposal failed to carry at "this meeting, and it is the hope of the exponents of the .ineasure to be able to have it passed at a future date.

Mr. Meads plan would make it possible for the man of ,s.mall means to build a home, and would be a great in,'fuence for the city.

The Housing Commission, composed of fifteen rep- resentative citizens, wquld have the supervisory Power over the bonds issued for the financing of home building. Mr. Mead said. Under no eircumstances would the city be obligated or wbuld it bc pmsible for the miscarriage of the purpose of the anrendmcnt as all bonds would be secured by the real estate,owned by the citizens seeking the aid of the Housing Coniraission itr financing the building. Mr. Mcad said. All qffilcers of the Cha,mtber of Comtnbrce are in favor of the amendrnent.
