SANITATION of Arlington County In
IS47.
Many residents Of .washIngton
are not acquainted with the phys
ical situation Of Arlington County
with relation 70 the capital. The
original District was ten miles
square. Of which Maryland con-
tributed about seventy square miles
and Virginia thirty. The thirty
miles were taken back into Virginia
in IS47.
So II is a fact Shat no part OF Ar
nngton County Is more than six
miles from the White House and
most Of Il is within four miles.

county. The present Highway

The proposed Memorial Bridge" /"
said Mr.. Lyon, will be about half
way between these two and will
land at the foot Of the Arlington
estate. This estate. together with
Fort Myer and the Agricultural
experiment ground. which borders
the Potomac. comprise about 1000
acres and the residential section Of
Arlington binds this RESERVATION on
the south and west.
Some ten years ago the county
opened a highway known as Cath
cart avenue. which was laid out on
the line OF the Memorial Bridge ex-
tending through the county. The
building Of this bridge will open up
this virgin country as homes for

BELIEVES HOUSING
CURE IS ERECTION
OF 5000 HOUSES
NJ. E. Morgan Says Citi'
sens Want Homes Cost
ing Under $1,000.
RELIEF IMPORTANT
Government Employees Feel
Situation More Than
:. Any Group.

.Construction of approximately
5000 homes. each costing under
$1,000. is one Of the first steps to
be taken in Washington to meet
the housing shortage" declared NJ
z. Morgan, prominent real estate
man. yesterday. .
Before the war there were up
ward Of 5000 empty houses in, the
city, the majority of which were
insanitary. apd lacked modern i'm
provsments." Morgan said. Then
the war came, and, as every one
knows, thousands came to the city.
These houses were soon taken, de-
spite the fact that they did not COM
fortably house the occupants.
"'The housing situation became
acute, and the cry for more homes
was voiced by thousands. At the
present time nearly 5000 houses are
TO be vacated by dissatisfied ten
ants. providing modern homes can
be purchased at a reasonable price.
But the homes are not to be had.
Government workers feel the
housing situation more than any
class of people in the city. They
want to own their houses. and de-
sire to pay under $1,000 for them,
but Washington has no adequate
supply Of such homes to meet their
demands" Morgan sald.
IF such houses were constructed
for these government workers the
housing situation would almost drop
to formal. / can see no relief until
three or four years from now" de.
clared Morgan. "Of course. there
are houses in the city which can
be purchased at q price above $1,000.
but government employees can not
afford the cost.
Borrowed me ney at a low scale
IS difficult to obtain, and many
small contractors find difficulty In
construction. Banking institutions
IN the city are more prone TO Savor-
ably consider large loans than
smaller ones. This is only natural.
but, nevertheless, il aids in max
ing the housing situation acute.
mot until three years from now
can I see any change for the better
In the housing situation IN the city,
providing that the erection Of 5000
houses under $1,000 is not realized, !"

Phase of Local Project.
The local project, apparently,
contemplates a series of small "Po-
mander Walk" units.
The original "Pomander Walk"
was a quiet little community hid
den away in a section of London
close by the banks Of the Thames
A description of the community IS
given by Louis N. Parker, author
of the play, "Pomander Walk as
follows:
Each house had its elaborate
door with a shell-shaped Intel;
each had its miniature front gar
den divided from the private road
