ASKS FEDERAL AID
Money Is Sought to Build
Apartments for District
Government Workers.
The Public Works Administration has

The Public Works Administration has
been asked to finance what is de-
scribed as the first high-class, low cost
housing project for Government en-
ployes In the Capital.
Sponsored by Henry C. Morris, owner
of a tract of land overlooking the Po-
tomac River at the south end of Airing
ton Ridge, in nearby Virginia, the plan
calls for group Of modern apartment
buildings, containing suites from two to
five rooms each. which would rent for
approximately 50 per room per month.
The P. w. A, which has financed
similar projects in other cities, has been
asked to advance S3,000,000 for the
construction of the buildings and de-
velopment of the park and garden area.
1t is estimated that a rental of 50
a room per month would finance the
project, including liquidation of the
price range for the apartments of from
S25 for a two-room suite with bath,
dinette and kitchenette, to S55 for the
largest units. Heated garages would be
provided for an additional SIS per
month.
Plans for the project have been
drawn by A. j. Thomas, architect OF
many of the famous Rockefeller apart
ment buildings and of the Metropoli-
tan Life Insurance Co.'S loW-rental
projects.

won the support of Senator Harry F.
Byrd. Representative Howard Smith
and members of the Arlington County
Board of Commissioners in his project,
I occupies rs acres of wooded land about
$50 feet above the level of the Potomac
| River
The apartment buildings would be
five or six in number, occupying less
than 20 per cent of the rs acres. The
| remaining 80 per cent would be de
| veloped into parks, gardens, properly
| supervised Fairgrounds for very young
| children. tennis courts, a swimming
pool and ball fields for older children
