tA 26 WINNETKA TALK December 12, 1925 --_-- SOLVE RENT PROBLEM Florida City Adopts Teacher Housing Plan in Operation in Winnetka and 'Glencoe; Keep Rents Down A plan for housing teachers of the public schools, as worked out success- fully in Winnetka and Glencoe in recent years, has been adopted at Miami, Fla., with the aid of the.teal estate board of that city, according to word from the National Association of Real Estate boards. The board, a member of the Na- tional Association of Real Estate boards, was asked for aid in the housing problem that faced the Board of Education in the early part of No- vember when most of the instructors in the city schools would have been forced to pay much higher rents or move to undesirable districts. A committee of 'realty brokers ap- pointed to study the problem, rem= edied the situation by obtaining a newly built apartment house which was turned over to the city teachers. Bought by a holding company, com- posed of realty people, it was offered to the Board of Education at a rent that covers the carrying charges but allows no profit. | The building, which houses more | than 40 persons, is very much like a | club, being chaperoned and managed | by the mother of one of the teachers. | Other members of the national asso- | ciation have been active in relieving | housing shortage. The Lakeland, Florida, Real Estate | board is constructing a tourist camp to alleviate the congested condition of the district. In laying out the plans, provision "has been made for a com- munity center; playgrounds and parks.

The pic- ture will be hung in the new Lincoln school in the neighboring suburb as a memorial to a much beloved teacher who passed away some time ago. The picture has received much praise.
