Excerpt from The Housing Problem in Minneapolis: A Preliminary Investigation Made for the Committee on Housing of the Minneapolis Civic and Commerce AssociationMinneapolis has been wonderfully fortunate thus far in the generous proportions of the home of the laboring man as well as his employer. The following investigation, however, shows plainly that conditions have begun to appear which seriously threaten the home life of thousands whose welfare and happiness are absolutely essential to the future progress of our city viewed from the industrial, moral, and every other standpoint.Minneapolis is destined to grow and grow rapidly. It is vastly more important to every business man that Minneapolis be prepared to comfortably house and care for a population of 000 twenty-five years hence than that the industries to support such a population be secured. If we can make our city a place where labor is contented and happy, then the efficiency of labor will be so greatly increased that industries are bound to come and will be glad to remain.The possibility of affording the best type of housing for all her population seems to be more open to Minneapolis than to any other city of her size in America. The accomplishment of this is of such importance that a strong Committee has been appointed which I hope will be able to work out a solution which shall bring increasing blessings to our city in this and succeeding genera tions.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
