APARTMENTS MAY
Be DECIDED UPON
BEING CONSIDERED FOR MEN TO
BE EMPLOYED AT SOUTH
END SHIP PLANT.

While no definite plans have yet
been decided upon it is understood
that those interested in the big ship
building plant to be erected at the
A, B. and A. terminals are consider
ing the possibility of constructing
one and possibly two or three large
apartment houses somewhere in the
vicinity of the plant, to be used by
many of the employees of this big in
dustry.
The matter was discussed to some
extent when the promoters were in
the city few weeks ago, but moth
ing definite was decided upon. Since
then, however, the owners have stat
ed that it was their belief that the
best way to offer accommodations for
the men who will be brought here to
work at the plant would be to erect
two or three of these large apartment
houses. There are number of de-
sirable sites in that end Of the CITY
which could be secured, and the prob
lem of housing the newcomers at
this plant at least may be solved by
the construction of the apartment
houses.
