Dream Villages of Z. S.
Government Nearly Ready;
One No,v Seeking Tenants
BY PRESTON GROVER
First of two articles on the
Greenbelt Colony.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14-The Re-
settlement Administration contends
that when it finishes examining an
applicant for home in one of its
utopia suburban settlements he
doesn't feel poor and down trod-
den. But one thing is certain, he
will feel thoroughly, thoroughly
searched.
These suburban settlements, of
which there are three, were the
dream child of Rex Tugwell, who
launched the dream and then quit
resettlement to become a so-called
sugar. baron. Their names are
Greenbelt cat Washington, Green
dale cat Milwaukee, and Green Hills
Cat CincinnatD.
The thin-pursed tenants of Mil
waukee and Cincinnati will have to
wait few months before they be-
come proteges of the government.
since the houses are only 10 per
cent complete. But those suffering
from the Furnishing rents of the
National capitol can begin moving to
Greenbelt as soon as they can shake
Ioff the clutches of the private land
lords. The place is ready and ex-
animation of applicants has begun
Anybody can apply for one of the
places but if wealth and prosperity
is smiling upon you the manage
ment marks you off as ineligible.
The casual inquirer is told that the
salary range of tenants is to be from
5000 to $1,000 year. That is to
INCLUDE the earnings of all members
of the family, minors excepted.
SECRET EXAMINATION
But that is very limited expla-
nation. Not by any means can a
young couple with no children but
with a combined income of $4,000
year get into the villages. They
are earning too much. To be ELI
gible, family of two-man and
wife-must fall within salary
range of 5000 to 1900 year
If they are earning less than the
minimum of 5000 they are con-
sidered poor risks and likely to be-
come charity cases; or, if not char
ity cases, they would be spending
more for rent than they should and
thus have to skimp on food or rec
reational essentials. And Green
belt and the other Greens" want
nothing of that nature to contamin-
ate the pleasant populace they ex-
