IS Families Must Find
New Homes to Make
Room for Parkway

Fifteen families will have to find
other dwellings by the end of
August to make way for the ex-
tension of the George Washington
Memorial parkway.
The Office of National Capital
Parks said today that IL of the
families already have been given
their eviction notices and the other
three will be notified this week.
The families live in a community
of cottages on the Virginia side of
the Potomac near Key Bridge. They
had been paying land rent averaging
$50 year to the Government.
Knew 1t Was on Borrowed Time.
The parks office and one of the
cottage owners said the dwellers
knew they were living on borrowed
time as far as those particular
home sites were concerned.
G. Tyson Hopkins of Baileys
Crossroads, Va, who owns three of
the houses, said his land lease car
Rad 30-day eviction clause. He
said he has been expecting notice
for the past six years.
In the old days. the cottages
were used mainly for summer out
ings and vacation residences, but
with the war and the housing
shortage a number of families
started living there the year around
in the frame dwellings.
Nobody knew just when the road
would come through, Mr.. Hopkins
said. Everybody in the community
he added, knew they'd have to
get out sometime"
Cottages Carted Away.
The parks Office said it had no
use for the cottages and some of
them are being torn down and
carted away to other sites. The
parks Office estimated that most
of the houses are occupied by two
or three persons but one of them
has six occupants.
Some of the dwellers, Mr.. Hop
kins said. have no other places
to go. That's why they had been
making their homes in cottages
distinctly short on modern con-
veniences.
