Reports on Housing Factor.

Reports on Housing Factor.
In outlining the housing phase Of
the local situation, Mr.. Crane wrote
in part:
THE estimated total cost Of the
new housing required in the District
Of Columbia is as follows:
1850 family units for construc-
ton by Federal agencies (other than
A. D. A. low-rental projects), $72,-
10000.
$500 dormitory units for construc-
ton by Federal agencies (other than
A. D. Az. $1,000 900.
81 .453 family UNITS for construction
by Alley Dwelling Authority now
rental projects to be used as de-
tense housing, 1885 900.
1880 family units for construc-
ton by private enterprise 0942 rs
cal year only. 100000, 900.
Total. sl83 ,036 900.
In addition to the money cost,
this construction will also involve a
substantial cost in critical mate
rails which are urgently needed for
direct military uses in the construc-
ton of ships, airplanes. tanks, etc.
Estimates Sales Return.
The return to the Federal Gov
eminent through rental and even
tual sale of the 1850 family units
and the $500 dormitory units can
not be estimated accurately at the
present time. AS an approximation,
however, it is probable that, during
the period when the Federal agen-
cies own these family and dormi-
tory units, the total annual rentals
which they receive will amount to
about $8.0O0,000. This total rent will
in many cases include charges for
services such as heat. light, cooking
fuel, water, ETC., and it is probable
that the annual amount received for
shelter as such will be not more
than $6,400,000.
Tn estimating the eventual re-
turn to the Federal Government
that may be received through sale
of these properties. 1t is contem-
plated that the housing construct
ed by the Defense Homes Corp
G.5O0 family units and $500 dormi-
tory units) will be sold after the
war without loss. The disposition of
the other housing owned by Federal
agencies Except that owned by the
Alley Dwelling Authority under its
low-rental program) is at present in
determinate. If this housing should
be sold. however, it is probable that
a substantial loss would be in
Cured"

Reorganization
Program Awaits
Virginia Body
Assembly to Get
Revised Proposals
This Month
By ths Assoeiated Press.

6y us AbSoClSte0 HIeeos
RICHMOND, Va. Jan. 6.-The
midterm recommendations Of Gov.
Price for further reorganization Of
agencies of the State government
will result in a revised set Of pro-
posals going before the new Legis"
lature this month.
Incorporating some Of the Gov
srnor's proposals but emitting 9TH
ers, the new recommendations were
drafted by a special commission
headed by Delegate e. Blackburn
Moore of Berryville, created by the
1910 Assembly to give further study
to the Governors suggestions and
such other reorganization matters
as it saw ut.
Virginia has prided itself on the
eficiency and economy Of its State
government and matters pertaining
to changes always draw wide atten-
ton. As members OF the Moore
commission pointed out, however,
no session Of the Legislature ad-
joarns without reorganization" N
some phase Of State activities
CONTINUING Process.
DR.. Robert H. Tucker Of Wash
ington and Lee University and
Junius p. Fishburn of Roanoke,
who issued supplemental state
ments In which they mentioned
other problems for future consid-
Grafton, emphasized that reorgani-
zation was a continuing process.
DR.. Tucker declared the Gov
ernor's proposals represented "ad-
ditional steps in the general re-
organization program begun IN
1926-1928" He also participated IN
the study that led to the l926-l928
program.
One of the most controversial
phases of Gov. Prices suggestions,
that dealing with an integrated de-
partment of conservation, appears
definitely sidetracked. The Cover
nor, in a special message January
81, 1910. called for consolidation Of
the Commission Of Fisheries. the
Game Commission and the Conser-
walton Commission into Depart
ment of Conservation.
This proposal. however, was in
Guided in neither House nor Sem
ate bills offered in 1910. and the
Moore commission reported its evil
dence was insufficient to support
the plan, but rather that 1t tndi-
Gated the distribution of work
among the three agencies was well
defined and that diversity rather
than similarity predominated.
Recommendations Listed.
In lieu Of consolidation. the re-
organization study group therefore
proposed a o-ordinating committee
composed of the heads Of the three
commissions who would get together
at least once a quarter to discuss
their mutual problems. The report
also recommended that the terms Of
the three commission heads be
changed to coincide with that Of the
Governor and that the membership
of the Game Commission be re-
duced from seven to five.
Savings under the Governments
proposed consolidation. which he
estimated at $780, 900 per biennium,
were matter OF opinion, the Moore
Commission concluded.
Other recommendation Of the
Moore group:

Commission
Still al Odds
Police Motions
Go Unsupported

ROSEVILLE - The Village
commission of Roseville today
remained at loggerheads in its
attempt to appoint a probation
airy patrolman to fill a vacancy
on the police department exist
ing since the recent resignation
of two officers.
One of the vacancies was fill
ed two weeks ago, but attempts
to fill the other have been un-
successful.
hAt Mondays commission meet
ing Councilman Ray Houghton
offered a motion that Erich
Champine be assigned as a pro-
dictionary patrolmen. The mo-
ton went unsupported.
Later in the meeting, after
President William Harper de-
pafted, Commissioner Henry J,
W4kenbach introduced a motion
asking that John e. Versele be
famed to the police force. His
motion, too, drew no support.
A third motion by Commits
sioner Clifton Burns, asking that
newspapers publish the fact that
applications would be accepted
for the police vacancy, met the
same fate as the previous mo-
tons.
Whether the commission will
finally effect a compromise"
was not indicated.

SwankyHospitul
Mghhes to be
Thin, Breezy
BY FRANK CAREY



ST. LOUIS, Oct. Is - Those
swanky hospital nightgowns
that tie in the back will be thin
ner and breezier for the rest of
the war.
The military demand for the
heavier materials formerly ,sed
in making the nighties hence
forth will necessitate the use of
an almost transparent material.
This and other Substitutes for
materials no longer readily
available were shown to men,
bers of the American Hospital
Associations war conference to-
day.
The war also has affected the
wardrobes of doctors and nurses.
The nurses are limited to hens
of one inch and surgeons no
longer rate operating gowns of
beige, lilac, green or other
fancy colors. Wrap around gowns
for the kitchen help are out also
they require too much cloth.
Plastics were offered as rub
Der substitutes on wheels of beds
and stretchers.
AS metal savers, the exhibitors
featured wooden beds for steel
ones, mattresses with no inner
springs, patients charts of wood
instead of steel, wooden bed
trays, and glass jars instead of
metal containers.
Toothpicks replace pins,
clothes pins hold waste dressing
bags to the bedside, and labora-
tory mice now live in discarded
olive oil cans.
They're using other new CAD
gets, though.
There are ambidextrous rub
Der gloves for surgeons and dry
ice is used in some oxygen
tents instead of the kind the ice
man brings.
And in the nurseries are trans
parent plastic bassinets that
make the infants look as if they
are kicking around in gold fish
bowls.
