Bureau Of Standards Tests
Help Cut Housing Costs

Economies and improvements
worked out between the Bureau Of
Standards and the United States
Housing Authority accounted for
savings of more than $3.50 900 In the
cost of constructing low-rent hous-
ing projects during 1899, 1t was
announced yesterday.
Chief among these economies were
brought about in the selection Of
materials. based on research and
testing. One large saving was
100000 worth Of construction mate
rials which tests by the Bureau OF
Standards showed to be undesirable.
Already, it was said, many private
builders are obtaining information
from the U. S. H. A. on methods Of
cutting costs.
Some of the problems on which
experts are collaborating are: Elimi-
nation of cracks in masonry walls
supporting concrete floor slabs,
specifications for heating equipment,
which may save $50 per dwelling
unit, and costs of roofing.
Much work also has been done
for the modernization Of municipal
building codes to permit more
economical designs in accordance
with demonstrated capacities of ma
terials. Tests conducted, it was
claimed, indicated that fire re-
sistance requirements and struc-
tural strengths can be reduced with
out increasing hazard.

10 years and he is more acquainted
with its parks than he will admit.
Before taking over the job, he
studied the recent Wagner-Sauers
report on National Capital parks.
He did not wish to comment on it,
however, since he had been in office
only one day.
Mr. Rogers is married but has no
children
Served In World War.
He was educated at Cornell and
Yale Universities and in a varied
career has been a geologist, Red
Cross manager of the mountain
division, an officer in the World
War, a bank officer and mountain
climber par excellence. He is
charter member of the Colorado
Mountain Club and served as its
president in 1925 and 1927.
Mr.. Rogers did not seek his first
job in the National Park Service.
The job sought him. 1t happened
through his long acquaintance and
friendship with park officials who
knew him as one who sympathized
with the broad policies of conserva-
ton. Horace Albriught, former di-
rector of the National Park Service,
offered him the post of superintend-
ent of the Rocky Mountain National
Park in Colorado in 1880. 1t ap-
pealed to him nightly and he
snapped up the offer. -Four years
ago he took over his present posi-
ton in the Yellowstone.
There are no immediate park
problems in Washington now out
side the realm of recommendations
made in the Wagner-Sauers report.
1t is chiefly a task of getting ready
for the spring by providing for
seeds and top soils. If he is here
at the time, Mr.. Rogers may have
a hand in preparing for the annual
cherry blossom display.
A. E. Demaray, associate director
of the National Park Service, said
Mr.. Rogers will devote himself to
getting the parks Office on more
efficient basis to turn over to the
new superintendent, when the lat
ter is appointed. He has made a
very good record as an administra-
tor and will be of great help to us
here" he said.
