By the Associated Press.
JERSEY HOMEsTEADs, N. j.,
Oct. 28.-One Federal experiment in
subsistence homesteading will end
here Monday when the Government
sells at auction clothing factory ma
chinery installed in 1896 to benefit
$50 New York garment workers who
were resettled on this 1,250-acre
homestead site.
Notices posted here yesterday by
the Farm Security Administration
set Monday for the sale of equip
ment which cost $4,000 and which
was pledged, together with personal
notes, to cover 5000 900 advanced to
the Industrial Cooperative Asso-
citation by the Government.
Settlers hoped the Government
would not let them down, that it
either would sell the machinery to
someone who would operate the
factory as a going union shop or
would buy in the equipment itself.
Mayor Philip Goldstein said there
had been several outside nibbles,'
but no assurance Of what could be
achieved before Monday.
Jersey Homesteads, a borough in
itself with the Government owning
all real property, was built around
the garment factory which the nee
dleworkers thought would support
them and eventually enable them
to buy out the Government.
1t was not a success however. and
after spasmodic periods Of opera
ton the factory closed down last
August.
The Government spent $4,000 to
erect the factory. The purchase Of
land and construction Of 400
homes with necessary improvements
brought the initial cost of the
homestead project to more than 4l,-
300 900.
Senator Byrd, Democrat, Of vir-
ginia told the Senate the grand
total had reached 1900 900.

CHICHESTER. N. Y. Oct. 28-
Villagers in this Catskill Mountain
community hailed a Prattsville IN.
" lumberman tonight as the
savior" of the hamlet after he pur-
chased at auction the furniture fac
tory upon which they depend for a
livelihood.
Most of the 276 inhabitants joined
approximately 200 others at the
villages social home. where Chi
chester, including its A homes. was
put on the auction block Twenty
three of the dwellings were bought
by the tenants themselves. The re-
naming 81 were purchased by New
York City residents who plan to
turn them into summer homes.
But the villagers. some of whom
will have to move, received the
greatest satisfaction when Willis
Rappelyea. Prattsville lumberman.
bought the bankrupt Schwarz-
waelder furniture factory for s2,100.
He said he would make survey Of
the factorys equipment, clean up
unfinished orders and would even
tually employ between 40 and so
men. Mr.. Rappelyea operated the
plant from February of this year
until June under direction of the
Federal Court.
Sixty-four parcels, including the
factory, homes and village store
brought $35,O00 Each tenant who
purchased his home made a 20 per
cent deposit. The average price was
$700.
When the auction opened the en-
tire village was put up as a single
unit. But there were no bidders.
Chichester was founded in 1872
by Henry Chichester, a New Yorker,
who imported skilled cabinet makers
and built homes for them. In 1884,
Chichester's son. Lemuel, sold the
factory to William Schwarzwaelder,
also of New York. The Schwarz-
waelder family operated the plant
until 1t went into bankruptcy last
year.
