Chinquapin Village
Residents 10 Study
Rent Compromise
Action on Threut to Move
Out Is Withheld at
Navy Employees Meeting

~ q staff Correspondent OF The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, Aug. %. -
Residents of Chinquapin Village last
night withheld action on their threat
no move out because of a rent con-
troversy pending consideration of a
compromise offer by the Navy.
At meeting OF more than 200
employees of the naval torpedo plant,
Anthony j. Daukas outlined a pro-
posal he said was arrived at during a
conference with officials of the
Bureau of Yards and Docks, which
built the low-coSt housing project.
The proposal would place a ceiling
on the utility costs, basis OF the con-
troversy.
The agreements in effect when
the families moved in provided for
inclusion of utility bills in the rent,
but under a clause in the leases.
the Navy recently gave notice that
effective Monday rents would be cut
about So a month but the utility bills
must be paid by the occupants.
The Navy Department claims that
the cost of utilities would not eX-
ceed SO a month for a one-bedroom
house, S10.50 a month for a two
bedroom and $l2 a month for
three bedroom house, Mr.. Daukas
explained. Preliminary estimates Sc
cured by the village residents placed
the cost of all utilities, including gas
for heating the frame houses, at $40
to s25 month, depending on the
size.
George T. Chandler. who presided
at the meeting last night, said that
an announcement by the Navy De-
psrtment with full details of the
new rent and utility schedule would
he circulated today. The meeting
voted to withhold action until it
could be studied and set another
meeting for next Thursday night.
although the new rates will 90 into
effect meanwhile.
No one who works in the torpedo
plant is required to live in the vii
lage,' Mr., Chandler said. What
re are trying to do is work out
schedule that will be fair and rea-
sonable."
