18 Building Permits
For New Homes

Building permits for II one
family bungalows and six row
houses were issued during the
last week by Building Inspector
A. r. Lash of Alexandria, Va. A
permit was obtained by Stone
wall Village, Inc, for IL brick
bungalows to be built on Hilton
street in Glenmore at a cost of
$4,416 each.
Wesmond Building & Invest
ment Co. obtained a permit to
build six brick two-story row
houses on Montrose avenue in
Lynhaven at a cost of $500
each.
Mr.. Lash announced that the
March building, while lower
than the monthly average for
1912, was a great increase over
February, and that a total of
$255, ,750 was issued in permits.
The report showed construc-
ton permits for 13 one family
houses at a total cost of $57 7,4OS;
four tWo-family houses at
$16,492. and 81 apartment units
contained in four buildings at
a cost of $l6O 900. Non -residen-
tial construction permits
amounted to s2,95O; repairs,
s18,400, and installations, $500.

course, the HOLC still faces a huge
construction job in difficult labor
market. But just as private real
estate brokers helped produce the
most feasible types of properties for
lease, the Hole counts on private
contractors and materials dealers to
aid in overcoming construction diff
flculties. It soon expects to be COM
pleting conversion jobs within 80
to As days after leases are signed"
Dormitories Provided.
Mr.. Blandford reported that the
Federal Housing Authority, another
unit of the MIA, has leased build
ings which will provide approxi-
mately 5000 dormitory accommoda-
tions for single war workers. They
are being provided at an estimated
saving OF 81 per cent in critical ma
terials and third of the cost of
new construction.
The Homes Use Service has three
objectives in its drive to provide
accommodations for war workers
and their families, Mr.. Blandford
pointed out:
l. The provision of all possible ac-
odations-houses, apartments
and rooms-through the use of ex-
isting structures as they stand.
2. Conversion of houses and build
ings by property owners themselves,
either through their own funds or
funds obtained from private lend
ing institutions.
3. Conversion of houses and build
ings through the use of Government
funds where property owners can't
finance the jobs
Thousands of accommodations
have been produced through pri-
vately financed conversion projects" :"
Mr.. Blandford said. while it is
difficult to make a complete check,
priorities have been obtained for
more than 10000 units-mostly fam
lily accommoda tions-since Novem-
ber l. 1912"
Obviously where property owners
can and will do the job themselves
there is no need for the use of Gov
ernment funds, so the Government
lease program has been confined to
selected areas"
Preference ratings on materials
for privately financed conversions
are processed through Office of the
Federal Housing Administration,
another unit of the MIA, in the
same manner as priorites for new
construction for war workers FILA
also insures loans for conversion
purposes under its Title I plan-"a
pay out of income" plan. Loans up
to $4,000 can be repaid in monthly
installments over periods up to seven
years.
All types of conversion projects
must provide new accommodations
only for war workers and their
families.
The homes use program is essen
TALLY a localized operation. Some
100 war housing centers have been
established in crowded war industry
communities and it is through these
centers that the program is con-
Quoted. They list vacancies which
can be turned over to war workers,
appeal to home owners to accept
war guests" and stimulate conver-
sion projects.

Home Builders Find
Lag in War Housing
By Private Industry
Association Reveals
First-Quurter Figures;
Termed Alarming

A dangerous lag in the private
war housing program, calling for
ESQ, 900 privately constructed housing
units this year, is disclosed by first
quarter figures of new starts and
applications, according to a state
ment by Frank w. Cortright, execu-
tive vice president of the National
Association of Home Builders.
New construction started during
the first quarter is less than half
that scheduled by MIA for the
period" said Mr.. Cortright. Even
more alarming is the fact that ap-
plications under FILA Title vi dur
ing this period were only about one
fourth the number filed last March
while it is true that the curtail-
ment of general construction for the
duration has forced a considerable
number of builders out of business,
there still remain thousands of
builders who have complete build
ing organiza tons and are ready and
anxious to do the job assigned to
them if some of the obstacles i'm
peding the program can be removed.
Chief among these are:
"The frequent and confusing
changes by the Government in
standards, policies and procedures.
The imperfect planning by MIA in
the assignment of priorities in met
ropolitan areas to FPHA where the
private builders could have done the
job and, conversely, the assignment
to private builders of priorities in
isolated war production areas where
only publicly financed construction
is feasible. The failure on the part
Of FHA to interpret Title VI as an
emergency measure and to relax
their requirements in line with war
time construction necessities.
IF this situate is to be corrected
In time to permit private builders
to accomplish the goal set for them
this year, immediate action will have
to be taken. The association, there
fore, urges the prompt study and
revision by MIA of all outstanding
and unused priorities, the relaxation
OF administrative procedures by
FHA to accelerate to war tempo the
evaluation of costs, modified land
planning requirements and general
administrative procedure.
THE emergency conditions which
make it necessary to construct hous-
ing for rental only. They must
learn to operate under the present
drastic restrictions of material con-
sumption and strive to build with
even less materials than the maxi
NUNS imposed by WPB. With the
full cooperation of FHA, really
great savings in critical materials
can thus be effected.
With the new program for the
fiscal year starting July l, this as
sociation is urging the Government
and the builders throughout the
country to take all possible meas
ures to accelerate the present sched-
ule IN order that next years ex-
tensive housing plans can be started
on time" he said.

Mia Starts CONVERTING
Unused U. 5. Building
Into 38 Living Units
$4,000 Rehabilitation Job
To Be Done in 80 Doys;
Ten Others Projected

The unused three story building
at 247 Delaware avenue S.W., near
the House Office Building, today was
in the first stages of its transforma-
ton into living units for war workers.
Rehabilitation of the 'one-time
apartment house, now Government
owned, which stood vacant nearly
two years, began yesterday under
the homes use service program of
the National Housing Agency.
Contracts call for completion of
$4,000 worth of rehabilitation work
within 80 days. Thirty-eight two
and three room apartments then
will be available to war workers who
have come to the Washington area
within the past year. Rents, which
are to amortize the cost of CONVEX
sion, will be determined later.
Was Purchased by PBA.
The structure was in use as an
apartment building several years ago,
when it was purchased by the Public
Buildings Administration as part of
the District Building program. The
PBA allowed tenants to continue oc-
cupancy until about two years ago,
when an attempt was made to
utilize the building for much-needed
office space. 1t was decided, how
ever, that floors were too weak to
support heavy file cabinets and other
Office equipment. The building has
since remained vacant.
Several months ago, the MIA
prompted by criticism of the vacancy
IN face of the acute housing short
age here, arranged with PBA for
rehabilitation of the structure.
Contracts were let to Leo Chatelain,
Jr., architect, and Lee T. Turner,
contractor.
10 Other Conversions Set.
The MIA also announced yester-
day plans for conversion and re-
Mobilization of 10 other buildings in
the Southwest section of the city,

Apartment Residents
Asked 10 Increase
Tin Can Collections
Operators Association
Sends Out Letters to
1900 Building Managers

The District Salvage Committee is
seeking increased cooperation from
apartment house residents in its
drive for tin cans. Though house
wives have been helping to a great
extent. the appeal is to those resi-
dents of the smaller apartment units.
In the case of buildings where
there is no resident manager or
janitor to take care of the scrap
collected, it was suggested today by
Horace Walker. executive secretary
of the local committee, that spe-
cial depository be selected so that
collections could be made with IA
cility.,
Mr.. Walker noted that in many
cases the smaller dwelling units
with no resident manager or janitor
are difficult to reach in the current
drive. In these cases, he said, when
a plaoe has been established for the
collection of tin cans. the committee
should be notified with registration
for servicing.
Rufus Lusk, through the Building
and Owners and Operators Associa-
ton, has sent out letters to the
1900 managers, operators and own
ers of apartment dwellings asking
cooperation. This was followed by
a letter from Marshall Davis, chair
man Of the salvage group of the
Washington Real Estate Board.
The latest tabulation shows that
more than 500 apartments have
been registered for the salvage col
lections. Mr.. Walker also added
that 125 official deposit signs have
been distributed among the larger
apartment houses and that they
have brought in considerable
amount Oh scrap metal which other
wise would have gone into the in
cinerator or have been lost for re-
claiming purposes.
Mr.. Walker said that in January
255 900 pounds of these containers
were collected and that through an
increase n the drive to bring apart
ment house residents into the cam
paign, III February, 286150 pounds
of the metal were collected. A tabu-
lation for last month has not been
completed, but unofficial figures in
dicate probability that the 100000
pound figure may be topped.
