INDIANAPOLIS PWA HOUSES
TO OPEN THIS MONTH

INDIANAPOLIS, (CNA) = Local
housing officials took measures to ex-
ped;te correction of interior faults
principally, weeping" walls and cell
ings and building floors-in the Lock
field Gardens, Federal Government
low-rental housing project for Ne
groes.
Workmen were employed to caulk
cracks in the walls, to refit buckled
sections of flooring and to repair spalls,
Clipped concrete. The walls will also
be coated with waterproof paint to
seal "hairline" openings.
The project, whose construction
costs amount to more that $3,000,000
comprises "a buildings with total of
748 three and four-room apartments.
Rents vary from $20.80 to 5000 a
month and include heat and part of the
electricity costs. Every home is
equipped with an electric stove and re-
frigerator.
The buildings are laid out in a
chevron pattern, covering 22 acres.
Each unit has its exterior walls color
ed either buff, tan or brown; no two
neighbor units are of the same color.
The variant wall treatment avoids CIV
ing the project an institutional ap-
pearance."
Although the homes were supposed
to have been ready for occupancy July
l, 1887, the first group of tenants will
move in this month, according to Lion
ell F. Arts, Negro housing manager of
the project The limited number of
apartments caused the exclusion of 1872
approved applicants. he said.
