HOUSING MEN TURN
TO NEARBY TOWNS
Transportation Facilities to Be I'm
proved to Cut Need of Build
ing Dwellings.

In order to keep as low as possible
the amount of money to be spent in
building emergency houses for work
men at war factories, the United
States Housing Corporation is seek
ing wherever possible to provide
transportation facilities so that the
overflow of workers may live in
towns near the factories.
Investigations of the housing bu-
reau indicate that in certain in
stances this method of solving the
housing problem is more apt to af-
ford effective relief than would the
construction of houses. 1t possesses
the additional advantage of requiring
a smaller expenditure of government
funds. and will prevent repetition
of the difficulties which beset ertain
transportation lines during the past
winter because of their inability to
meet the increased demands occa-
stoned by the influx of war workers
in their respective districts.
Negotiations are ROW under way
looking to the extension Of loans to
corporations controlling local trans
portation lines which serve the NUM-
tions workers in the Bridgeport.

ARMY AUTOS STANDARDIZED;
$4,000 HAVE BEEN ORDERED

After months of experimenting,
moto- vehicles for the Army have
been standa rdized. and 5000 trucks
and passenger cars have been order
ed. the War Department has an
nounced The standardization means
that there will be only four types of
trucks and three passenger models
used for the various requirements Of
the military service.
The three quarter to one ton truck.
selected after exhaustive tests of a
number of cars, is the &c. NJ. c."
truck. The board of experts decided
on this truck because of its light
consumption of gasoline. its light
weight. with the consequent saving of
materials, and the fact that it is
well known in the Army.
The one and one-haif to two ton
truck selected is the White. The
board of officers which received the
findings recommended the adoption
of the White for the following rea-
sons: Lower gasoline and oil con-
sumption more satisfactory per-
