Trade Board Reports
Area 10 Get 1880
New Housing Units

Construction now under way or
definitely planned for the future
will mean about 72,55Q new family
housing units for Metropolitan
Washington.
Construction of these units Is ex-
pected to wipe out the current
housing shortage.
These conclusions are contained
in a report of the Washington
Board of Trade through its City
Planning Committees House and
Construction Subcommittee.
Last year the subcommittee esti-
mated that housing needs for the
area would be $4,000 units by 1850.
Subject to Upward Change.
Although this estimate is SUBJ
ject to an upward change by further
studies of population trends and
population demands" the report
says, "it still appears that the num-
ber of units now under construc-
tlon will exceed the present differ
ences between supply and demand"
No breakdown is given showing
the units now being built and those
listed as definitely planned.
The subcommittee estimates that
$3.50, 100000 in construction is now
in progress or definitely planned,
but of this total, only about S83,-
100000, about 13 per cent, will bs
spent for housing in the District
itself.
Construction in Maryland ac-
counts for 40 per cent of the total,
and in Virginia, 80 per cent, accord
ing to the subcommittee. Its report

more space to keep clean. He1

the attic provides storage room, she
said. The attic also provides a
studio for the daughter Of the fam.
lily to paint and for the son to play
Mrs. Louthen's only criticism was
that with heat in the ceiling the
floor sometimes is chilly.
912To Saving Seen.
The Housing and Home Finance
Agency estimates that saving OF
.912 per cent can be made in the
construction of a house to cost
ST 900 by providing an interior utility
room instead of basement. This
amounts to $722.
In a no-basement house where
utilities are housed in an attached
"ell" the saving Is less.
Clark Daniels of Standard Prop
critics, which has built about 400
houses in Eastpines, said the HHFA
estimate about comedies with the
experience of his company.
The concern, now building homes
to sell at from $9,250 to $10,450,
builds a basement only when the
slope of the land makes it econom-
ical and makes possible an outside
ground-level entrance to the base
ment.
A 91s per cent saving at these
prices means economies ranging
from 1913 to almost $1,000.
Without Easements, the houses
have foundations which lift the first
floor about 4 feet above the foot
ings. Gas hot-air heaters are pro-
vided which hang below the floor
level and the ducts are beneath the
floor. These heaters, Mr.. Daniels
said, are placed in a closet beneath
the attic stairs, we'll insulated with
metal and asbestos.

Guide for Proper
Paint Use Available
To Owners Of Homes
By D. M. Derwin

Many a home owner has been
faced with the problem of choosing
q suitable and efiicient paint tc
insure the desired results he seeks
with the particular paint job al
hand.
A paint company has printed q
painting guide to insure the proper
use of paint and related surfaces
The method of painting each major
type of surface-walls, furniture
woodwork, floors, etc.-is given on q
single double-page spread which also
gives spreading rates, drying time
surface preparation and a short
description of the. products recon-.
mended.
The guide has an index which
simplifies locating any desired in.
formation. No fuss, no reading
through unnecessary material tc
find what is needed Immediately.
The entire guide is only 40 pages
and is divided into two major sec
tions, outdoors and indoors, the first
of which deals with wood, masonry
metal, floors and roofs. The indoor
section covers walls, ceilings, wood
work, wood furniture, metal ano
floors. There also are three addi.
tional sections covering boats, esti-
mating and miscellaneous material
Assuming the particular paint
problem is relative to an inside
metal surface, simply glance at the
cover under the inside, follow the
arrow to metal" and pages IS and

Pages 1s and 10 are subdivideo

Houses without Easements are
increasingly favored by Washington
builders.
This applies not only to low-cos
houses but to expensive homes.
Economy is the chief reason. Also
involved is the difficulty of keeping
cool Easements dry as moisture con-
denses in Washington's humic
summers.

ment saved about 81 500 The house
a Virginia rambler which follows the
slope of a low hill, is in Malbrook
on Sleepy Hollow road near Falls
Church.
The house has three bedrooms
four baths, living room. dining room
library, kitchen. utility and break
fast room, a maids room and small
furnace room. A breeZWay leads
up the slope to the garage.
Answer Is Radiant Heat.
The saving does not figure as a
large percentage of the total cost
for Mr.. Malic values the house at
about $55,000, but in the owners
opinion it is a saving worth while.
Easements are expensive, espe-
cially with building costs what they
are today" he said. The answer to
those who insist basement is nee
essary to keep the ground floor from
being cold is radiant heat"
The heating system is hot water
with a gas furnace. Pipes carry the
hot water beneath the concrete
floor, which is covered with felt
and carpet except in the service END

used.
Lists Other Advantages.
Mr. Malice listed these advantages
beside that of economy: Laundry

cheerful surroundings in the utility
room where a washing machine,
drier and ironing board are placed

And for the conventional trip to
the basement when Junior needs

on modern psychology"
The question of basement play

Sale OF Quality Eve
Lambs Is Alarming
To Stock S Specialist

Bozeman, Feb. 14.-Alarmed over
reports that Montana sheepmen are
now selling high quality w lambs
for fall delivery, E. Paul circuit,
extension livestock specialist at
Montana State college, urges the
keeping of such lambs for breeding
purposes.
Orcutt's chief reason for alarm is
that Montana sheep numbers are
the lowest on record. Restocking al
ready is necessary in many sections
of the state. If the high quality
breeding ewes leave the state, re-
stocking will result in inferior sheep,
he says. In Montana with its care
fully developed reputation for high
quality sheep, this would be "ser-
ious and costly"
Reports circuit has received re-
ports that eve lambs are being sold
for fall delivery at 22A cents. While
this is a favorable price, neverthe-
less it will prove Improbable in
the long run because some of the
sales are whitefaces that will make
excellent breeding stock.
Montana cannot spare any good
quality white face eve lambs nor
can any Montana sheepman even
sell his good replacement eve lams,"
circuit says.
