SEWERAGE SYSTEM
WORK BEGINS SOON

Construction Of a sewerage sys-
tenn to replace the septic tanks
now in use at Wrightsville Beach
will start Monday, January IT,,
and is scheduled to be completed
sometime in August, Town Clerk
r. L. Benson announced Satur-
day.
The Richmond office of the Fed
eral Works Agency concurred last
week in the award of a contract
by the Town of Wrightsville Beach
to the Calnaught Contracting Com
pany of Portsmouth, Va, on
unit-price bid of 1921, 042, to build
the project.
The proposed sewerage system
will be built as a war public
works project and financed
through a Federal grant and loan
to the town. When bids for the
construction contract we're opened
on December 9, the low bid SUBJ
lnitted by the Calnaught COM
pany overran the available funds.
An amendatory application re-
questing additional Federal aid
was filed by town officials, and
concurrence in the con tract
award was withheld by the FWA
regional office pending approval
of this application.
Under the terms of the new Of
fer, as approved by the Federal
Works administrator, the amount
of the Federal grant will be
raised to $209,6l4, an increase of
raised to $209,614, an increae offs
$55, Ola, and the Federal loan will
be boosted from $4,000 tos $45,-
900. The project will be completed
at an estimated cost of 1854, 614.,
Plans proposed by Paul M.
Van Camp, consulting engineer of
Southern Pines, call for the con-
treatment plant, two pumping sta
tons and two flush-tank siphons
and the installation of approx
mately 1880 feet of eight-inch to
11-incn terra-cotta pipe, 1880 feet
of six-inch cast-iron force main,
400 feet of 14-inch cast-iron out
fall sewer, 5000 feet of six-inch |
house connections, 95 manholes,
and $3.50 feet of two-inch galvan-
lied water main. A priority rat
ing of AA-3 for critical materials
has been issued by the War Pro-
duction board.

Postwar Urban Development
By Private Industry Urged

dustrial holdings" back to private
operation. Dumping" of these
holdings should be avoided, he said.
He pointed out that the manner
in which the Government handles
the reconversion of industry will
have lasting effect on real property
values in war-production centers,
and emphasized that careful plan
ming is required.
Postwar Plans Studied.
In another statement, Homer
Phillips. president of the Washing
ton Real Estate Board, last night
hailed the past year as one of the
most successful in the Washington
boards history, and pointed out that
local realtors have appointed a
strong committee to formulate post
war plans.
Mr.. Phillips urged that private
industry be given ample opportunity
to do its part in providing housing
for low-income families after the
war, and said that when wartime
restrictions are removed, builders
here can be depended upon to fur
nish the housing which will be
required.
During the past 10 minths private
enterprise has erected more than
1000 family dwelling units in the
Washington Metropolitan Area
1874 of them single, family dwellings
and 5,213 family units in multiple
family structures-he reported. Dur
ing 1912, permits were issued for
housing accommodations for 1887
families.

Describing the Job Of hating ur-
ban blight as zone Of the great new
frontiers for real estate" John w.
Galbreath, president-elect of the
National Association OF Real Estate
Boards, last night issued a state
ment proposing that the Govern
ment, instead of providing public
housing to replace sluns, give tax
and financing aid to private indus
try for an extensive postwar pro-
gram of urban redevelopment.
Mr.. Galbreath listed real estate
taxation, the spread Of blighted
areas, public housing, the growth of
Federally-owned real estate, the dis
position of war industries, imitation
and the continued deferment of
civilian building as among the ques-
tons with which the real estate in
dustry must cope successfully" dur
ing 1914.
Some civilian building should be
resumed now, he maintained. Sur
veys by real estate boards indicate
that the war has left the Nation
short of housing by nearly 10000
units, he said, and the demand for
houses is expected to increase in So
per cent of the cities during the
next six months.
Deterioration Mounting.
Mr.. Galbreath pointed out that
in addition, deterioration of existing
housing has been accelerated by
more intense use, by nonavailability
Of building materials for repair and
maintenance and by the reduced
rental income forced by rent con-
troll" Excessive deterioration is be-
ing experienced in IS per cent of
our larger cities, with structural
soundness of buildings affected in
many areas, he estimated.
In proposing postwar program
OF urban redevelopment by private
industry, Mr.. Galbreath expressed
the opinion that such redevelop-
ment Is needed ION a scale never
before known.
If private industry is given the
tax and financing tools to work
with" he said, I'VE can produce a
work program that will create en-
ployment and economic activity in
our cities that will last for many
years." He added that a Federal
program for public housing to re-
place slums would be totally un-
necessary" if private builders were
given the advantages enjoyed by
Government agencies.
Slum Clearance Favored.
Real estate men are in complete
favor of slum clearance, but want it
on a scale far greater than that
proposed through piecemeal Federal
in a form that will do
away with "institutionalized" hous-
ing and public direction of family
life" he said.
Great readjustment of taxing con-
cepts, new means for financing large
scale land acquisition and careful
of redevelopment schemes
are called for as means of combat
ing deterioration of cities, Mr.. Gal
breath maintained.
One change that is greatly needed
Tor the welfare of property owner
ship, he said, is greater recognition
oy the Federal Government of the
great burden of local governmental
costs now being carried by real estate
owners" He proposed that owners
81 real property should be allowed
an Offset against Federal taxes for
real estate taxes paid and that an
owner living in his own house should
De accorded the right to deduct de-
as is now done in the
case of income property.
Mr.. Galbreath also urged that the
government recover, the, greatest
amount OF its expenditures possible
When it turns its present huge in

the first State IN the Union to full
MI its obligations to the men and
women in service" Gov. Arnall said.
Indications are the legislation will
propose simplified registration, elm
nation of the $1-a-year poll tax
for service personnel and an adj
vance OF two or three months in the
date for the Democratic primary,
usual held in September.

War Housing Units
Built Here in '43
Providing accommodations for ap-

Providing accommodations for ap-
proximately $4,000 persons, more
than 81 900 new war housing units
including 1880 family dwellings,
were completed in the Washington
Metropolitan Area during 1943, John
. B. Blandford, jr., administrator of
the National Housing Agency an
nounced yesterday.
The program since the spring of
1910 has included approximately
10000 new family dwellings, he re-
ported, while quarters for more than
10000 single persons have been
constructed in the form of dormi-
:nries or residence halls in the
Washington area, he said. More
than three-fourths of the new
family dwellings were constructed
by private builders and financed by
private lending institutions, accord
ing to Mr.. Blandford.
At the same time, Mr.. Blandford
revealed that the war housing prob
lem has been mastered in the ma
jority Of the Nations crowded war
industry centers, nearly 3,40O 600
housing units having been provided
Tor essential war workers.
More than 100000 persons, in
GLIDING members of war workers
families, are now occupying quar-
tiers modified under the war hous-
ing program since the early summer
of 1910, Mr.. Blandford said. He
added that acute needs for addi-
tional war housing will continue
during 1914 in areas where new
plants are being brought into pro-
duction or where existing plants
must step up employment to reach
peak output.
Mr.. Blandford listed the follow
ing outstanding developments in
war housing during 1913:
Production OF new or converted
war housing in the year totaled ap-
proximately $4,000 completed units,
as compared with Az, 800 in 1912 and
1876 900 in 1941. The present new
housing supply of 1,440,0 units is
sufficient to accommodate more
than 100000 persons, while 1885,
600 additional units are under con-
struction.
Through greatly increased efforts
to secure maximum use of existing
dwellings, the number of accom-
modations provided for war workers
in existing housing expanded to ap-
proximately 100000, an increase
Of 100000 since the start of the year.
With allowance for families, these
latter accommodations - obtained
without the use of critical materials
ARE housing more than 5000 900
persons. A large proportion of them
were listed through the MAS war
housing centers and homes regis
tration Offices which won the CO.
operation of scores of war housing
communities in opening homes to
war workers and their families.

No Medal 10 Be Awarded
By COSMOPOLITAN Club

The Cosmopolitan Clubs distin-
guished service medal, awarded an
nually to a Washington resident for
outstanding service to the commu-
nifty, will not be awarded this year.
DR.. j. Rozier Biggs, chairman of
the Awards Committee, announced
yesterday that because of the war
there have been so many outstand-
ing, unselfish services rendered to
the community that to award
the medal to any one would do an
irreparable injustice to large num-
Der of equally deserving Washing
tonianS."
The award was originated by DR..
Biggs Is years ago, when he was
president of the club.
The committee further agreed that
funds usually spent on presentation
ceremonies will be used for the pur.
chase of War Bonds by the club.
