GreenbeIt Selected as Site
For Defense Housing Project
Construction of 1000 Dwelling Units
For Workers Nay Begin Next Month

of $3.50 for each home, not in
cluding utilities extension costs.
The present Greenbelt community
consists of 885 dwellings, with suf-
ficient surplus acreage to expand
the town of tomorrow" to ap-
proximately 5000 homes.
Farm Security Administration
sources pointed out that a total
of 3,411 acres of land in Prince
Georges County had been purchased
by the Government for the Green
belt area originally Only 100 acres
purposes and a small additional
amount Of land for community rec
fractional facilities, they said.
officials consider the Greenbelt
tract ideal as a site for a defense
housing project designed to allevi-
ate already overcrowded housing
conditions in Washington. In ad-
dition to being proximate to the
Capital, they point out that the town
already has basic utilities, such as
water, sewer and electricity facilities,
which were built to serve much
larger community than Greenbelt.
Transportation Expansion Seen.
When the new project is COM
pleted there will probably be a de-
mand for improved transportation
facilities between Washington and
the community, which is now served
only by bus.
1t is no secret that the Farm
Security Administration has long
wished to expand Greenbelt and the
use of the surplus acreage for a
defense housing project fits in with
this objective.
However, F. S. A. officials desire
that requirements for residence in
the new project f1t in with the gen.
eral policies now in existence In
Greenbelt itself. particularly In re-
Spect to income standards. They
feel the entire area should continue
to be a low-cost housing project.
Another advantage of the area as
a defense housing site, according to
F. S. A. officials, is that shopping
and recreational centers already are
available to serve defense workers,
though it is expected that these
would have to be increased to meet
new demands.
Basing their estimates on the
average size of families now living
at Greenbelt, Farm Security Ad-
ministration officials predicted the
new project will virtually double
the size of the present community,
raising the total population to
about 5000 inhabitants.
While details of administration
have not been worked out as yet, it
is expected that the new project,
when completed, will be tied in with
the present community as one large
town.

Anne Arundel Road
Bill Reaches Senate
After House PASSAGE
Prescribes Terms Under
Which Thorouehfores
May Be Taken Over
BY JACK ALLEN,
Star Staff CORRESPONDENT.

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. GA bill pre-
scribing the conditions under which
the Anne Arundel County commits
sioners may assume title to public
thoroughfares not already a part of
the county road system reached the
Senate yesterday after being ap-
proved by the House.
Another Southern Maryland bill,
providing for appointment of trial
magistrate to sit at North Beach
and Chesapeake Beach, went to the
House following Senate adoption.
Presented by Senator j. Wilmer
johnson of Calvert County, it calls
for the jurist to receive $3.50 annual
compensation, $3.50 to be borne by
the county commissioners, SIS by
the town of North Beach and $25
by Chesapeake Beach.
Senator Lous N. Phipps introduced
a bill revising the provisions under
which the employees of the Anne
Arundel County commissioners
Office are appointed. Before the
House was bill requiring a permit
be issued by the county commits
sioners before outside sanitary
facilities may be constructed or
reconstructed in Charles County.
Sets Conditions.
The Anne Arundel road bill, passed
by the House Tuesday under the
county delegations sponsorship,
stipulates that before the county
commissioners gould take title to
take over, improve or maintain any
road, highway, street or alley not
already a part of the county road
system, the thoroughfare would
have to be constructed, including
the establishment of grades, grad
ing, drainage and surfacing, in a
manner satisfactory to the county
road engineer and the county COM
misSioners, or the road taxes COL
lected for the three previous fiscal
years on property abutting on the
thoroughfare must amount in the
aggregate to not less than so per
cent of the cost of establishing
grades, grading, drainage and sur
facing of the road.
The Phipps bill would remove the
present requirement that approval
of the county budget director be
given before the county commission
ers could appoint clerks, stenograph-
ers or other employees of their Office.
Budget Director Has Supervision.
The proposed law, however, would
provide that those appointees shall
perform their duties under the di-
rection and supervision of the bud
get director and that no one shall
be appointed until the budget di-
rector certif1es to the commissioners
that the candidate for appointment
is qualified to fill the vacancy.
The Charles County sanitary bill,
introduced by that county's delega-
ton, would require that before q
cesspool, septic tank or outside toi-
let be built or reconstructed plans
must be approved by the county
health officer, and that following
its construction the same oficial
must make an inspection and give
final approval.
Such construction must be at least
500 feet from the land of an ad-
joining property owner, and so feet
from any possible source Of water
used for drinking purposes.
