Handsome Homes Replace Those De^ molished in the Great Disaster That Wrecked Bio Area One Year Aao T^ECAR ago," on December 6t one-flfth of the city of Halifax trai blflsted off the map by the explosion of the steamer Mont Blanc's cargo of TXT. About 2,000 people were killed, between 5,000 and 6,000 were wounded, 36 were made totally blind, the sight of about 350 people was seriously Impaired, a targe number of dependents were left un- cared for, and about $35,000,000 worth of property was wiped out In* a few seconds. A year has passed. What has been done for Halifax and what has Halifax done for Itself? A generous and sympathetic world handed Halifax $3,500,000 to •Id In alleviating Its distress. The British government gave $5»- 000,000 and the Cana­ dian government, ad- ready under vast ex­ pense because of the war, gave $5,000,000 fdtortly after the TNT explosion occurred, and later added $7,000,000 more so that Halifax wld be assured of * square deal. The sum totals $20,- 000.000--one of the greatest contributions fever made by a big-hearted public to a stricken city. What has been done, or is being done, with this vast sum? Many people who opened their hearts and their purses to Haltfnx would like to know, and this article Is designed to supply the infor­ mation. The figures Riven above tell in part what was done for Halifax, but what Halifax has done for itself is a far longer story. Although the victim of a disaster which at once ranked her among the great tragedy cities of the world--Pompeii. Martinique, Galveston and San Francisco--Hali­ fax staggered to her feet a few seconds after the titanic blast had !f»id waste her streets, de­ stroyed her homes and littered the snpw with her dead, and went to work to fetch cftrder oat of chaos. ; j %From a spectacular and heroic pofrit of view." dedared George MacDonald of the Canadian Press, "this continent has never produced such a daring set of civilian heroes as sprang up at the call of duty In those bleak December days in Hal­ ifax. History teems with horrors--recent his­ tory particularly--but no parallel exists for the sequence of affliction with which Halifax was deluged. Swift and appalling death from the withering explosion, mad panic at the fear , of a worse disaster from a magazine disruption, horror from the Arc# which greedily devoured the ruins, torture from the rapidly changing weather condi­ tions which went from blizzard to rain and from ralnr to zero conditions In the three days eucceed- the day of the catastrophe. Fate seemed to have ceased Its assaults only when it had exhausted Its repertoire of calamities. "Bet against this appalling challenge was the unknown and untried courage of Halifax's citi­ zens. How they battled through the combination of anguish and misery, almost alone for a week. Is <>ne of the. most Inspiring dramas of history/' 86 much for what Halifax started to do, from the pen of "one who watched this Homeric bat­ tle" as a press correspondent. Chief among the plain business men of heroic mold was Robert T. Macllrelth, an ex-mayor of Halifax, who had or­ ganized an emergency relief station at the city hall within an hour after the Imo had rammed * the Mont Blanc and let loose the devastating ex­ plosives pent up in the hold of .the latter ship. Macllreith and his loyal associates not only got on tne lOD at once, but staved there. nr«»ntiM»iiw without rest or sleep for ten days, succoring the- wounded, housing the homeless, feeding the desti­ tute, caring for the dependents, providing fuel and transportation, fighting fire and burying the dead. ; 3 Rvery man of force and Initiative*and man­ agerial ability went to work without a moment's delay. The private car of George" E. Graham of the Dominion Atlantic was partly wrecked by theblast, hut General Manager Graham at once became a leading spirit in the great task of or­ ganizing temporary relief and his railroad gave Invaluable assistance In the crisis. ' I* a week the emergency shelter oopimlttee, di­ rected by W. S. Davidson, chairman, housed 6.000 people and a large number were even cared for the verv first night. Hospitals were established and 4,000 patients treated In an incredibly short time. Two thousand bodies were handled by the mortuary department. The reconstruction committee, headed by G. Fred Pearson, a newspaper proprietor, lost no time in organizing the work of building temporary homes for the homeless to cover the period which must elapse before permanent construction could be Inaugurated. Mr. Pearson asked Col. Robert 8* tow, the man who built the cantonments for the Canadian army, to give Halifax the benefit of his experience, and the colonel went to work at once with plenty of energy, and without pay, to put roofs over the heads of thousands of Halifax people. When he had struck his stride, the man who, built Valcartier camp for the Canadian ex- MYr/f£ jr/?/CA>£F/A/?£/l AfT&Z OF 7TTWO/Y£)//IAFF£S r/z£crjr/> &YF*£U&R(XW/WSS/O/R peditionary force in record time, was finishing a four-room apartment, with bath, every hour, pis apartment houses were much like the cantonment buildings at the army camps in Canada and the United States, and housing accommodations were soon ready for 5,000 people. These various forms of temporary relief caused the expenditure of about <$4,000,000, and while this Imperative task was being performed plans, were formulated for the rebuilding of the dev­ astated area, the settlement of claims and the care of dependents. The Canadian government, after receiving full reports of the property losses and the needs of.. '* Halifax for permanent pensions, rehousing, etc., announced .that although no legal liability rested^ •'v;'. £/&CRC0 TOMOXS£M£r. different types. There is a nat­ ural granite procurable In Halt-, fax, and a hydro-stone material closely resembling this is being used, as well as cream-white Stucco and rough textured brick. In the Gottingen street area the houses are grouped around courts, and lawns and play­ grounds are part of the general development. The architects have considered the devastated area as an entirety for develop­ ment purposes, and as the com­ mission backing them has full power to carry out its ideas, the result should be a very interesting experiment In hous­ ing and town planning. The new main boulevards laid out by the commission are 80 feet wide, and the secondary streets vary In width from 50 to 00 feet. Fort Needham, a very picturesque spot of historic in­ terest, has been taken over for park purposes by the commis­ sion, and throughout the new development large spaces have been set apart as places of amusement and recreation. The dominion and imperial government owned the water front property which bore the brunt »of the Mont Blanc explo- afon, and the reconstruction of this area is In Charge of governmental departments. Part of this section of the devastated area Is now the site ofv a new steel shipyard employing about 5.- 000 men, who are engaged in building steel steamships of 10.000 tons. This new Industry, of vast benefit to Halifax, was established fol­ lowing the disaster, and, no doubt, because of the disaster. .In view of what she has suffered and overcome la the past, Halifax may well lift with pride a head "bloody but unbowed." and say with W. R Henley, the author of "Invlctis:** "Out of the night that covers me. Black as thejplt from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be for my unconquerable soul." upon the crown, nevertheless the explosion was an incident of the great war which had done*"s." . • \*/ « A enormous damage to Halifax and its environs andE ,***!W0rK6rS r\lluiSCu for which Halifax was in no may to blame. Steam-$\*v* #rs loaded with great cargoes of explosives soughtikSt^MThe greatest problem with war workers Is Halifax harbor to secure convoy across the At­ lantic to the seat of war, and In numerous in­ stances the people of the city whose homes had been destroyed did not even know that they were - Mvlng on the edge of a volcano. In view of the fact that the French steamship Mont Blanc was "using the harbor In pursuance of the common purpose of the allied nations in carrying on the war," the Canadian government determined to pay all legitimate property losses and establish a pen­ sion fund to care for those made dependent by the disaster. The sum of $f»,000.000 had already been appropriated, but an additional sum of $7,000,000 was at once placed at the disposal of the stricken city and the Halifax relief commission was ap­ pointed and given extraordinary powers to expend the money and afford the necessary relief. The commission, consisting of T. Sherman Rog­ ers, K. C., chairman; Jodge William Bernard Wallace and Frederick Luther Fowke, with Ralph P. Bell as secretary, has been hard at work for months straightening out the tangled affairs of the devastated district, paying claims for dam­ ages, erecting new homes and providing perma- keeplng them amused," says J.

For example: Office boys are Started at $75 a month; stenographers at $150. and I have seen the weekly pay envelopes of many * carpenters with more than $100 Inside. However, it Is an actual fact that 20 per cent of the workmen who are transported there at the eigpense of the government disappear en routes and more than 50 per cent of those who arrive do not stay more than two or three days. "You see, Nitro Is a new town about twelve ' Miles from Charlestown. W. Va. It's in a dry sec­ tion of the country with absolutely nothing to at tract workers except high wages.

Through the generosity of the Canadian gov* eminent, every individual who lost his home valued at not more than $5,000. has already had or is having built for him, free of charge, a new home better than the one destroyed by the blast.

Vive hundred people arte receiving permanent pen­ sions and disability allowances. The Halifax relief .commission, upon taking office, secured the services of a first-class firm of irelilinis, and also employed a town-planning adviser. There was a splendid chance to put" over a town-planning scheme,'architecturally and oth­ erwise. that would be a credit to both Halifax and to Canada, and the commission did not overlook the opportunity confronting it. One thousand homes, not only thoroughly practical, but beauti­ ful, have been planned by the architects, new streets and avenues have been laid out in the devastated area and the replanning and rebnild* - Ing program is being carried out with Ihe Idea ' of making Halifax more beautiful than ever.

"Of course we do all the welfare work that Is being done In the most modern plants. We have farious kinds of hospitals, free medical attention and all that sort of thing. We even fill the teeth of the workmen free of Charge.
