 Land Is Transferred
 Word of the definite allotment oi funds for the local project was re- ceived one day after transfer was made by Helen E. Chase of a large area on Chase avenue to the Water bury Housing Authority for the pro- posed construction of the low cost housing units.
 Chairman William M. Harris of the local authority, has reported progress of the project throughout successive months since his appoint ment, with the others of the com mission, by Mayor Frank Hayes. The outline of the construction has progressed to the point of plans for the units and the only barrier, if such 1t remains, now Is to meet the federal requirements for city parti- cipation.
 It was estimated at a recent fi- nance board meeting, when Chair. man Harris outlined progress of the low cost program, that about ei0.- 900 was necessary to meet the re- quirements.
 While the donation of the land by the Chase family was announced sons time ago, 1t was not until yes- terday afternoon that the deed was recorded at the office Of Town Clerk Mary 0. Kilnartin. a&
 Thus, after consideration and progress Of plans for some months, the project is near to fulfiliment, according to members of the au- thority, It was estimated that most of the proportionate cost due from the city may be figured as value of the donated land.
 The actual current disbursement which is necessary to complete the procural of the federal funds will be subject of finance board consider. ation at an early date, possibly to. day, 1t was expected.
 while some sentiment was ad- verse to proposals for the four.unit houses, the plans have been gener. ally accepted by the authority, 1t IS understood.
