avoid any appearances of srandardiza-
ton or monotony in exterior design.
| Only the materials and inside ap-
| pointments have been reduced to
standards while exterior lines and or
nament may be modified according to
local conditions to secure individuality
and beauty. That is not all.
The plans have been drawn for these
individual family cottages with the
idea of permanence. In so far as pos
sible, they win be erected at shipyard
sites which are fairly certain to be per-
manent. Single men are free to move
to temporary employment for the war
and disperse If shipyards are aban-
doned when peace comes. Married
men with families cannot do this, of
course, so they win be assigned to the
permanent yards as fast as possible
with the expectation that they may
live there for years.
The plans take into account not only
the provision of homes for them when
they are shifted into shipbuilding to
meet the war emergency, but the pur-
chase of their own homes on Install
ment payments equivalent to rent If
they feel that the new locality is
suitable one in which to work and live,
and bring up a family.
Present estimates indicate that the
family houses can be erected for con-
siderably less than $1,000 each. This
does not include the cost of land, nor
has that been figured in the building
of community houses for single men.
The major part of this great build |
ing program will have been completed |
by the LIST of July. Some idea of its |
magnitude may be given by COMPARE |
son with other building operations. On |
a peace time basis an equal invest |
ment would build FIVE Woodwork !
buildings or two Equitable buildings. |
Hearing for All Corners.
Naturally, the magnitude of build
ing program like that and the prompt
ness with which it must be carried
out appeals TO the Imagination not only |
of the shipyard workers who are to
live in these dwellings and the Ameri-
can citizens who are interested in
them as part of our war program. but |
to many persons who wish to assist
with advice, plans. inventions, and
special schemes and devices for speed
Ing up the job. To the offices where
this program is being carefully laid
out have come in the past few weeks
men with all sorts of proposals for
the building of houses and dormitories
in record time, and Of many kinds of
emergency materials and construction.
Those having the project in hand have
given a hearing TO all Corners, and
gone afield themselves to in
vestigate promising new methods. In
the end, however. as the outcome of
careful investigation and plans, these
dwellings will be erected
pretty much on standard lines of tried
and proven materials with all elements
of speed and economy conferred in
Standardization of materials and large
scale building by well-equipped con-
tractors with capable organizations.
