NCHA Plans 10 Move
$50 SuitIand HOUSING
Units 10 District
Sites Within City Sought
In Attempt to Provide
Homes for Negroes

With public housing units for
white families going begging and
dwellings for Negroes at a premium
the National Capital Housing Au-
thority is considering a plan for
moving $50 units from the Carry
Houses, white settlement at Suitland
Md, to site within the District
to help alleviate the acute Negro
problem, John Ihlder, executive Of
flcer of the NCHA said today.
The undertaking is the joint re-
sponsibility of the National Housing
Authority and the local agency, but
a spokesman for the former said
action depended on Mr.. Ihlder's sue
cess in locating place for the units
Two sites are being considered but
the one chosen will not be an
nounced until plans definitely are
completed.
165 Vacancies in Unit.
The units from Carry Houses
where there are 165 vacancies
would be dismantled and trans
ported to the District by truck. A
total of 315 units were constructed
at the Suitland site for an expected
influx of workers who were to be
employed in a Government agency
there. But there was shift in
plans, Mr.. Ihlder said, and the
Census Bureau was located there
instead, leaving the Garry develop
ment sparsely populated.
A total of 888 white public housing
units still remain to be rented, Mr..
Ihlder said, but he added that these
are being disposed of at the rate
OF about 100 per month. OF total
of 495 built in the Lily Pons set
tlement at Kenilworth 3o8 are still
to be rented, while 325 of 500 units
constructed at Calvert Houses, near
College Park, Md, are tenantless.
Regulations governing rental of
dwellings at Garry Houses, Lily Pons
and Calvert Houses have been re-
laxed to make them available to
war workers already living in this
area, servicemen's families and vet
erans returned from war fronts.
Heretofore only in-migrate war
workers have been eligible to live
in them.
Need for Colored Housing.
All of the dwellings constructed
for colored occupancy have been
Allied and there is a crying need for
more. Mr.. Ihlder said the NCHA
was obliged to permit as many as
eight and nine persons to occupy
four bedroom unit and that in 9TH
ers living rooms were being pressed
into service for bedrooms.
Some 5000 new units, approx
mately 1900 of white will be built
by private interests-some In near
by Virginia-have been programmed
by the MIA for this year, but will
not be ready until December or
January, Mr.. Hlder said. What to
be done in the meanwhile is q prob
lem of first magnitude. All priori-
ties for housing since last August
have been allocated to Negro devel-
opments. SIS
MT. Ihlder said that a private
builders project for colored at Ala
bama avenue and Stanton road Sc,
where 800 units are contemplated,
might be begun this year, and that
the NCHA probably would 60 ahead
with plans for 470 additional units
at Fiftieth street, beginning at Divi-
sion street NE.

Tax Exemption
Offered Vets
Homsstsods Free
Up to $1,000

Mount Clemens draftees Cor
their next Of kim and veterans
Of previous wars who have not
yet applied for $4,000 tax ex-
emption on their homes as al
lowed by state law, are urged
TO do so Immediately by City AS
SCISSOR Harold Lindsey, before
the June / deadline.
Tax rolls are being made up
and applications for exemptions
up to $4,000 valuation, but not
exceeding $4,000 valuation,
are now being taken. Due to
the detail involved in tax roll
work. Assessor Lindsey advises
that this notice Is the "last call
for exemptions"
Under state law, the exemp-
ton may be applied for by vet
Grams of other wars. or men in
the armed forces today, or by
their wives, widows, parents, or
next-of-kin, as long as they ten
ant the homestead.
The $4,000 tax exemption,
while ii does not free the pro-
perty of all taxes, lifts the taxes
applicable to that portion of the
assessed valuation. In other
words, a veteran paying taxes on
$4,000 home, need only pay
taxes covering $1,000 valua-
ton.
