Building permits issued for the
large apartment house project of
the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.
of New York comprised about half
of the $6,011, ,166 worth of new con-
struction authorized in the first six
months of this year in Alexandria,
Va, according OF the report of Build
ing Inspector A. R. Lash.
The insurance company's project
will cost $7,500,000 when completed
Mr.. Lash said.
The more than s6,OO0,000 worth

$l,500,000 below the $7,500,000 worth
of construction for. the entire Il
months of 194l, the report revealed
This figure is regarded as high
because of the freezing of construc-
tion materials now in effect, Mr.,

Storage Jam Gives False Idea
OF Sugar Supply, Virginions Say

"Other factors make the avail
able sugar supply seem larger than
it actually is, and these must be
carefully discounted as factors in
any ration change. ~. ..:
Important among these is the
fact that all sugar distributors from
the wholesaler on down to the re-
taller, due to rationing itself. are
carrying much smaller inventories
than in normal times, and the
household larder contains less than
in pre-ration days. Sugar normally
found in this invisible" storage now
occupies commercial storage space,
but does not constitute additional
stock -
THE result OF these abnormal
factors is that the storage of sugar
is becoming a growing problem, but
they do not alter the fact that the
total amount of sugar on hand in
the country at, the present time Is
far below normal" t-,.

RICHMOND, Va, July 4.-The
Virginia OPA Office sought to ex-
plain today what it said we're wide
spread reports of bulging sugar
warehouses in Richmond and other
Southern cities,
Brig Gen. J. Fulmer Bright, State
director, and Dr. C. Hart Schaaf,
State rationing administrator of the
OPA, admitted that perhaps the
warehouses are just a little more
crowded with sugar than they
usually are"
This situation" DR.. Schaaf ex-
planned, lis created by the necessity
for unloading of sugar ships in
Southern ports not equipped to
handle such volume of commodities.
Substantial quantities of sugar are
being shipped to such great metro
politan areas as New York and are
moving by rail from Southern ports
instead of directly from the Carib-
bean by boat as in normal times.
