![["The document is written by the Board of Directors of the Nowata Chamber of Commerce to Honorable George B. Schwabe regarding the potential purchase of twenty-five houses near a powder plant in Pryor. The directors express the city's need for additional housing and interest from potential buyers. They seek information on when the houses will be sold, the selling process, and how to ensure a chance to purchase the houses. They request that the houses be sold to individual purchasers rather than a salvage company."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_5_33_0000-Housing,%201945-1946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_33_0008_thumbnail.jpg "Letter to Honorable George B.

She requested support for the Wagner-Ellender-Taft Bill to address the issue. In response, Mrs. Warren, the Congressman's secretary, acknowledged the letter and informed Mrs. Garrison that the Congressman is working to alleviate the housing situation by releasing 200 prefabricated houses for rental to veterans. She also mentioned that the Congressman will consider Mrs. Garrison's views upon his return to Washington."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_5_32_0000-Housing,%201945-1946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_32_0011_thumbnail.jpg "Addressing the Housing Shortage: Seeking Support for the Wagner-Ellender-Taft Bill")

He also criticizes the OPA and the new expediter, and indicates he will vote against the Patman Bill. Schwabe sends copies of the bills and related documents to Clinton for his consideration.
