Sought to Break jam
In Defense Housing

Conferences looking toward an
emergency hookup of Falls Church

County as a means of fitting the
town and adjacent areas OF Fair
fax County to absorb large num-
Der of privately built defense homes
were begun yesterday in the ONCE

With between 400 and 500 hous-

Cha Treatment Plant Overtaxed.
r. M. Writ. Arlington sewer de-
partment engineer, said that Ar
lington pipe facilities are capable
of assuming the added burden, but
its treatment plant already is over

the Government at least should as
sumo the 100000 cost Of doubling
the plants capacity.
An indication that this would be
done was given by Frank Tetzlad
Public Health Service engineer, and
Robert N. Brumback, housing prl-
critics examiner of the Office of the
Defense Housing Co-ordinator. Mr.
Tetzlaff said it was probable the
project would be given an advance

of his office behind it.
