MODEL VILLAGE At
NAAMAN' 'SF0RTHE
Chemical makers
Homelike Community on
Delaware River Solv es
Another Housing P roblem
ALL HOUSES WILL Be OF
QUAINT ENGLISH DESIGN

An industrial town similar 10 those
erected in industrial England has been
started at Naaman's, on the Delaware,
by the National Aniline and Chemical
Company, which maintains a large
plant at Marcus Hook. Entirely an in
dustrial stretch, the chemical COM
pany found II difficult to hold labor
because Of the distance between the
plant and the nearest home settlements,
Labor refused to travel so far and the
situation resolved itself into one,which
meant that the company would have to
do something to bring labor closer to
the plant.
A. B. Mitchell, manager Of the plant.
who had given considerable study 20
industrial town building, decided to do
something along this line. Il had proved
very successful in England and there
was reason TO believe that labOrers
would be satisfied II attractive homes
were built for their occupancy. To test
the attitude OF labOrer on the subject
the company built twenty-eight frame
houses. The experiment proved sue
cessful to the employe and employer,
and last week the first unit OF an at
tractive model home settlement was
started. There viii be 100 houses In
this unit.
The houses are to be Of brick. varying
in color, and English in design. Low
slat roofs, broken by gables and dor
mers, sometimes extending down over
the pOrches, make them very attractive.
They are constructed in rows OF six to
eleven and OF eight different types
Fifty-fOur Of the houses are planned to
have living room, two bedrooms and
bath, With combination dining room and
kitchen, while forty-six will have front
hall, living room. dining room, kitchen
and three bedrooms with a bath. All
these houses have front porches. They
are as large as is consistent with their
purposes and conform TO the present
government housing standards in every
respect.
No expense will be spared 20 make
the houses complete In every detail, and
the convenience and comfort OF the ten
ant have been the chief considerations.
A central heating plant will do away
with the coal worries Of the working
man and permit a substantial fuel
economy This system will also provide
instantaneous hot water, both summer
and winter, for every house, and each
is equipped with plumbing fixtures OF
the most modern type. The houses are
10 have electric lights, while the kitchen
equipment includes, in addition 70
enamelled sinks, gas ranges and sta
tionary tubs.
The United States Housing Corpora
tion has approved the plans and granted
permission for the construction. The
larger type of house is cOsing over
$500, while the smaller houses will
each cost $1,000 exclusive Of heating
and grading.
The operation is being financed by
the National Aniline and Chemical Com
pany, and is said to be the only housing
project that is a direct aid 10 the Ord
nance Department that has not been
partially financed by the government.
The village, in addition TO the dwell |
ings, IS to have a general store, cafe
teria and a dormitory building to ac-
commodate flfty-four men.
