 COMPANY NOT
 IN CONTROVERSY
Member of Senate Commit tee Satisfied With Work
 Here.

William H. Ham of the Bridgeport Housing Company. said today that the Bridgeport Housing Company was not involved in the controversy in the Senate at all
 Senator F'ernald of the Senate com mittee was in the city recently and expressed his satisfaction at the work of the Bridgeport Housing Company in relieving the housing situation here.
 The Bridgeport Housing Company was simply the operating agents of the United States Housing Corpora tion in this city and for this reason is not responsible for the conditions that are criticised in the report of the committee of the L. $ Senate.
 The Bridgeport Housing Company had been operating some time, when during the war, the Government de- cided to enter the housing field and construct houses in different parts of the country to accommodate the workmen who had hocked to those centres where the government was engaged in manufacturing ammuni- tions and other war requisites.
 Tn this city it was found that it was not so much a question of high rents as it was g scarcity of living apart ments and the U. s. Housing Corpora tion took immediate steps to remedy this condidtion. They sent represent atiyes here who sought the advice of the principal business men, including the officials of the Bridgeport Housing company.
 Thees officials advised with the gov ernment representatives as to the ne cessity Of more houses to furnish homes for the skilled workmen who were brought here from all parts of the country.
 The architects were sent by the government and all contracts were made in Washington.
