Scope and content
War Housing; Housing facilities. As thousands flocked to Tacoma in the early 1940's, drawn by lucrative defense industry jobs, housing levels remained the same- creating a crisis situation. Newcomers to the city were forced to live wherever they could find lodging, including some that were no more than four walls & a roof- without electricity or plumbing. Ordered by Mr. H. Stubbs.
