Typed speech on “Cooperative housing.” Defines cooperative housing as the common control and ownership of homes by tenants. Explains reasons for and advantages to residents within cooperative housing. “With over one-half of our population residing in cities, the housing of families has undergone a radical change. The family's home and retreat once under complete control of the householder has largely disappeared, and in its stead has grown the apartment house under control of a landlord interested solely in more profits . . . Cooperative housing is the reassertion of the right of the man with a family to control the house in which he lives for the benefit of himself and his family.” Explains that England's method for developing cooperative housing will be adopted: “the state helping the people to help themselves.” Discusses groups in Brooklyn and Manhattan that organized cooperative housing, and how cooperation works, principles in cooperative laws of state of New York: “Every stockholder has one vote regardless of the stock he owns . . .” Names the most essential requirement as the tenant-owners possessing “the full power and the right machinery to control their own affairs . . .” Explains how to work out operating expenses, and having a sound plan for amortization, favorable social conditions and efficient management.
