PROJECT ABANDONED

Only once has the story OF a
particular housing project been

Details Of this demoralizing
waste and eXtravagance-all in
the name of the war effort-are
found in the Congressional Record,
May u. 1914. The story was
pieced together from official
records and reports of the Ma
tional Housing Agency by Rep.
Robert A. Grant of Indiana.
Late in 1941 the army placed a

Ordnance plant. The community
was called KingSford Heights.
1t cost S13, 000, 900. and the first
units were ready for occupancy
on March 20, 1913.
But only 324 families moved
into the project, leaving $3.50
empty dwellings of one, two, three
and four rooms. The Kingsbury
ordnance workers. as it turned
out, preferred to live in La Porte,
and other surrounding towns.

The Federal Housing Admins
tration decided to dismantel the
kingsford houses and move them
10 other federal projects through
out the country. But the Is miles

The average cost of moving
these houses to new locations
after they had been ready for &C.

months the administrative organi-
cation is shuffled from top TO
bottom, so that no one ever may
obtain an authoritative audit of
costs and results.
One scarcely can count on the
fingers of both hands the number
of new federal agencies launched
since 1888 to build low-cost houses
and assist home ownership.
Through these the federal gov
eminent in 10 years extended
loans of S. 200, 10000 and direct
grants totaling another $1,000

SO, 600, DOC, 900 pump-priming en-
terprise, as measured in new
dwellings for the people, is found
in the official figures of the de-
partment of labor.
In the six years, 1933-193S in
elusive, new dwellings built in the
United States, public and private,
| averaged 203.833 each year, as
compared with 807 ,666 a year in
1923-1928, when there were no fed
eral subsidies to housing. This
gives a deficiency of 3.6-million
new dwelling units for the first six
New Deal years, as compared with
the corresponding years of the
previous decade.
At our rate of population
growth. We require 100000 new
dwelling units a year to maintain
the national housing standards set
in the years of free enterprise.
The annual average for the first
six years of the New Deal was
far less than half this minimum.
