ing Men.

CHESTER, Pa, March a.
Buchanan Village, the wartime de-
velopment which will be sold at
auction today, was Investigated yes.
terday by five builders and archi-
tects from New York, who are
planning the construction of a set
tlement of several hundred small
size homes In the suburbs of that
city. and were here looking for
suggestions.
The visitors were greatly i'm.
pressed with the village houses and
the general layout. They said that
the Government did well for its
working men, for there is nothing
like Buchanan in the vicinity of
New York except in the most ex-
pensive sections. Their plan is to
provide homes that will bring $4,000,
or rent at about s65 to $40 a month.
The Buckman village house de-
signs and plans are favored by the
visitors. They said they favor them
more than any of the housing set
Elements visited and would report
to their associates that the proposed
development be on the lines of
Buchanan village. The houses are
not only attractive of design, they
said. but they are well constructed
and the arrangement of the interior
represents considerable thought and
much skNl on the part OF the
architects and builders Of Buckman.
The delegation expressed the
opinion that II the houses were 10.
Gated closer to New York city.
Joseph p. Day, the auctioneer,
would have no trouble in getting
prices close to the amount which
the Government put into them
when erected several years ago. The
village is understood TO have cost
the Shipping Board about $4,000, 900
to build.
As the houses have served the
purpose for which they were erect
ed, the Government is not planning
to hold for top prices, and will ac-
cept just what will be bid for the
property when offered on March 25
by Mr.. Day. who has been given
the job by Uncle Sam OF arranging
the transfer of the village at
auction.
