Approval of applications for util- fly connections in such cases have been delayed since late in May. The pew procedure has been approved by the War Production Board.
 Under the neU simplif1ed proce- qure, preference rating applications for the electricity, gas, water and sewer connections of proposed war housing projects will be combined with the corresponding applications covering the housing itself. The Joint applications will be processed entirely in he field by FILA offices and by the regional offices of the National Housing Agency and the War Productions Board. The pref erence rating assigned by the WIPE 10 approved projects will apply equally to the materials needed for the utility connections and to those necessary for construction of the buildings.
 No Assurance
 Heretofore, applications covering the necessary utilities were entirely divorced from those covering the housing. The utility applications were submitted independently by the companies expected to service the project and were filed in Wash lngton rather than in the field of- fees which proceSsed the housing priorities. There was thus no as surance that the utility extensions would be in place at the time that the housing construction was other wise completed and available for occupancy.
 The new coordinated procedure was worked out by the power branch of the War Production Board in collaboration with the WIPE Housing Priorities branch and federal housing agencies.
 "T,his improved method for hand ting war housing priorities will as- sist the private building industry to proceed with plans for fulfilling its share of the overall war hous- Ing program" MT. Ferguson as- serted.
 Schedules worked out by the Na- tional Housing Agency call for the construction by private builders of approximately 270,000 permanent family dwelling units to meet part of the essential needs of immigrant war workers during the next 12 months, the commissioner pointed out. These dwelling units, he said, must be SO designed as to effect maximum economies in use of scarce war materials, both in their utility connections and in the plan and type of construction.

 Under the new priorities proce- durNs as 1t affects privately fi- naneed operations, the builder will
