An. apartment house for families whose income is $25 a week is planned by Fred L. Lavanburg, a paint manufacturer.

The house will be erected on Goerck Street between East Houston and Stanton Streets, New York City, and will be five stories high. The cost, approximately $500,000, is Mr. Lavanburg’s individual investment.

All modern improvements are planned for the building.

Mr. Lavanburg proposes to include in the building a synagogue.

Should the income of a tenant increase above $25 a week, he will be compelled to move out.

A plea for a return to the idealism of Woodrow Wilson was voiced by Henry Morgenthau, former Ambassador to Turkey, at a dinner given by the. Iroquois Club in the Hotel La Salle, Chicago, commemorating President Wilson’s birth seventy years ago.
