Metropolitan District, 1986. Apply to How- ard Whipple Green, Director, 1900 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland. $15.00

Cleveland claims the distinction of being the only city in the country which takes a com- plete annual inventory of every house, lot, and building and movement of every family. This data, broken down into 321 census tracts, denotes trends indicative of what is happening throughout the country, especially in the heavy industry cities of the middle-west- ern states. Included in the material is infor- mation on housing conditions, the amount of residential construction and demolition, and the cost of construction. * Drunken Driving. Report 109 of the Unit-

ed States Conference of Mayors, 730 Jackson Place, Washington, D. C., 1936. 15 pp. mimeo.

During 1935 more than 40 per cent of the cities reporting experienced a rise in the num- ber of intoxicated drivers. Methods followed by American cities in testing those arrested for drunken driving and the penalties imposed for conviction of this offense are described in this survey. * Housing for the Family. By the Com-

mittee on Housing, Women’s City Club of New York, 22 Park Avenue, New York City. 40 pp. Twenty-five cents.

Investigators went from tenement to tene- ment and talked with the women who lived in them to learn what they considered the essentials of good housing. The housewives expressed additional views which very possi- bly might not occur to the architects of low cost housing. They told why, for instance, they preferred bath tubs to showers, why they wanted clothes drying rooms in the base- ment rather than on the roof, and why they wanted large kitchens. *

Officials, Albany, 1935, 165 pp. mimeo. $1.50. Municipalities in their search for revenue
