NEXT: Inc Tennessee Vai- Iey's future, if the entire New Deal program is carried to coni- plction.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-11-16

Progress is taking heavy toll oi the picturesque in the New Deal development of the Tennessee Val ley, but it is bringing comfort that natives of the hills never dreamed of possessing. Above is shown q typical habitation of a family near the Norris dam site, one of many which will pass when the reser- voir is flooded. Left is one of the modern stone and hand -hewn tim. ber homes erected under the New Deal '.raise the living standard' program.
 house would cost no more than the others in the group. IVA of ficials took them at their word, put the TWAS own labor relations man in charge, and let them build a house.
 The stonemasons kept the house within the $250O limit set, and IVA officials were so pleased they let them build four more houses like the first.
 In fact, this entire third group was a success, financially and esthetically.
 NO HOUSES FOR SALE
 Five low-cost apartment houses, intended mainly for unmarried stenographers, clerks and the like, were also built, completing the housing needs of the town.
 All the houses are owned by the IVA and none is for sale. The lowest rent is SIP month. A unit in a duplex house and some of the apartments rent for that
 Of the single family houses, the

around $250O to $3000. But soon after work began building ma terial pieces shot up and the IVA esta blished wage schedule sev- eral times higher than that pre- vailing in this section.
 II The result was that the cost
 was about double the announced
 price, and less than half of the
 had ben built. A drastic reduce
 houses was ordered.
 DOWN TO EARTH
 For this second group a new type of house was decided on. It was built of cinder concrete blocks. There were 80 houses in this group, half of one-story and the other two-story. Architecture was of the simplest. The interior finish, like the exterior, was--a coat of paint on the cinder blocks. They were wired for electrical equipment but were not equipped with electric heaters; instead, a
 wodo or coal range and hot
 water tank were provided. These
 houses were intended mainly for
 workers with smaller incomes,
 and no chance could be taken with
 the uncertain cost of electric heat ing until it had been tried out ill the other houses.
 This group was truly low-cost housing - they averaged about half as much as the first group but still the architect and the IVA officials were not satisfied. The cost was low but the houses were not pretty.
 NATIVE STONE HELPS More houses were needed, so a third attempt was made. The ob- ject now was to combine low cost with attractiveness. This last group called for 59 one-story houses of cinder block and wood,

Knoxville, Tenn, Nov 16-Visit- ors to the Tennessee Valley (and there have been 100000 of them since last spring) may gaze open mouthed at the vastness and au- dacity of Norris Dam, but when they see the little town of Norris itself they're apt to sigh and say, That's the kind of place where I've always dreamed of living"
 Yet this little town, nestling in the hills and woods four miles from the great dam, wasn't built as an at all. It was built to house mar ried workers on the dam. Army engineers had plans for the usual barrack-l structures to house workers on the dam, costing $1,- 500, 900. Somebody suggested Let's spend twice as much as build a permanent town"
 So here it is, the finest working mems town in America, laid out like, the famous English garden cities. A group of British, German and American housing experts. after a tour of the country, said of Norris, 'This is the most inter- esting thing we have seen in the whole country"
 ONE YEARS WORK
 Scarcely a year ago the site was chosen--a 2500-acre wooded tract. Today, except for a school nearing completion, the town is an accom- plished fact. It consists of $50 nice-loolxing, well-built houses that cost from $2500 to, $6300, and which the IVA is renting for from $14.50 to $45 a month.
 Norris was not laid out in tho usual way of taking a plot of ground and cutting 1t up intS squares, with a criss-cross of streets at right angles to each other. The IVA town planners marked off a boundary and then immediately threw around it a protective belt to keep cheap de- velopments from springing up next to the town.
 The site was rolling land, and the engineers built the streets according to the slopes rather than cut through the high places and filling in the low.
 Most of the tract was in woods, and the next job was to leave as many trees standing as possible. If large tree stood on a house site, the site was changed. Pur- posely the houses were set back irregularly from the street.
 Before any houses were de- signed the IVA architects studied the type of architecture found in the valley so that the houses at Norris would not seem out of place.
 AN AMBITIOUS START
 The first group consisted of 152 houses of 26 major designs, enough to avoid monotony. They ranged from three to five rooms and had at least one large screened-in porch. Because of the mild climate, a porch can be used like a room eight months of the year.
 These houses were of wood and brick Steel easement windows ran to within an inch or two Of the top to eliminate the usual dead air space near the ceiling. Interior walls were finished with wide-board wainscoting up to the level of the window sills and VeuSCT Wdll DOd1 VI dDONCs SCAAAh6o also were of wall board. No moulding was used, to make clean ing easier. Kitchens were equipped with electrical ap- pliances; walls were heavily in- sulated; hand-split shingles were used for the roofs. And all houses in this group were heated by elec- tricity, though to add to their livability an open fireplace was built in each home.
 These houses were to cost

 On the average the rental amounts to about IS per cent or the workers income.
 ALI CAN HAVE GARDENS
 There is enough land in Norris so that every family can have its own .yegeta ble garden if 1t wishes.
 The town has oiled streets, sidewalks, water system, sewage system, community ga- rages. 2 police and a fire depart ment. a grocery store, a market, and a school. Adjoining the town is the construction camp with US community building, offering movies, lectures, dances and other recreation.
 IVA power from Muscle Shoals serves the town at reSular Va rates-from top of cents to q low of mills kilowatt hour. All houses heated by electricity will get the benefit of the low f. mill rate. The weather has not been cool long enough to ascer- tain what heating by electricity will cost, but 1t has been esti- mated that the electric bill for all services, including heating, will be around $10 month.
 IVA RUNS SCHOOL
 The towns water and electric departments are taxed and the money is used in helping to pay for the school and other municipal services. The school, from the primary through the twelfth grade, is run by the IVA. No tui- tion is charged.
 The future of Norris is, of course, uncertain. Between now and the completion of the dam early in 1936 the IVA will try to build up co-operatives and bring small industries to Knox vile so that the houses will be occupied after the dam, workers leave.
