Vienna Authorities
Are Unable to Meet
Demand for Homes
BY A. R. DECKER
(Special Cable to The Atlanta Journal and
the Chicago Pally News. I
Y’IENNA, Austria, Dec. 23. —This
! national capital, through its elected
| officials, returned by a 65 per cent
I socialist majority, is giving the tax
j screws another turn for a huge in
j crease of the so-called building tax.
| Tenants pay no rent but a building
I tax is collected for the purpose of
i building new houses. By destroying
the income from houses the city re-
I duces its taxable wealth and also dis
courages building.
Existing houses are rapidly failing
into decay. Repairs are made )>■ a
! pro-rata levy on the tenants, but only
the most urgent repairs are made
Houses in which the well-to-do form
erly lived, and in most cases still in
i habit, are comparatively new and '
!do not need repairs. Homes of he
[ poor are in the worst condition ano
I they suffer the most from the social- i
I ist experiment.
I The socialist experiment of con- ;
fiscating all real est ice is becoming <
more apparent fiasco daily. Indus
| try is about r.uined because loans
’ cannot be contracted on non-incom»
j producing property.
1 The demands for dwellings are n.Oi
i nearly satisfied, despite a decrease
'in population. Young people who
; would like to marry cannot fk d
: homes. In 1922 there were 40,000 re
quests for dwellings: in 1923, i'.4.Cl«.
■ and by the end of June. 1024, 76.466. ,
•ing f of . ■ y 4,129
dwellings were allotted, harly 5 per !
cent of the demand.. The city offi- i
i inis promised 6.000 i.ew dwellings j
but have made only 601 available '
I since the scheme started in 1922.
