is between $4,000 and $4,000, includ-

Most Washington area residents
live in houses or apartments. Blu,
about 1000 families occupy homes
on "wheels'-more familiarly known
as trailers.
Most wheels, however, have dis
appeared from the trailers-the in
dustry prefers that they be known
as trailer coaches-and many parks
that accommodate them have taken
on the appearance of stable suburb
an communities.
Fairly typical of the more than Is

trict area is one located just outside
the city limits of Alexandria on
Telegraph road in Fairfax County

Village.

that they need more room than is
afforded by their trailers. So they

event they move on to another park

low-cost housing and that construc-
tion on a mass basis is possible only
in this field.
This is also true in rental housing.
James A. Hewitt, regional director
of the Federal Housing Administra-
ton, recently stated that FILA now
is considering only applications that
are in the lowest-rent field. At the
same time there are several prob
lens which must be met in connec-
ton with low-cost housing.
First, every low-cost housing pro-
ject in the country, to our knowl-
edge, has been built or is being built
on comparatively level ground "a
low-cost house is one selling for
from $7Ooo-ts,5oO.
Few Such Sites Here.
An analysis of the Coast and
Geodetic maps of Metropolitan
Washington will show that there
are few such sites within the area.
If q development is on rough
ground, and many Of these exist
today in this area, it is possible
that the builder oh a 6,000-square-
foot homesite will find it necessary
to- overlot grade an average of
three feet.
In. such a case, 666 cubic yards of
earth would need to be removed be-
fore the builder could start the
foundation for his house. At aprox-
imately so cents per yard, he would
spend 1888. This, coupled with front
stoops, retaining walls, terraces, etc.,
can easily put $1,000 on the house.
Some level ground does exist in
Metropolitan Washington which is
for sale at a price that can be paid
for low-cost housing development,
but no such ground exists, to our
knowledge, with sewer and water
facilities available. This is, Of
course, an obligation of the coun-
ties surrounding Washington.
Experimental Houses Planned.
In addition, regulations of Ger
tain nearby communities make it
highly difficult, if not impossible, to
build this type Of housing.
The Home Builders Association
already has announced 1t will begin
construction of two experimental
houses to demonstrate what can be
done on low-cost housing In the
Washington area to local officials
and veterans groups here.
Then, should they decide they
wish this type Of housing to be pro-
duced in Washington on a mass
basis, which is the only economic
ally sound way it can be produced,
the Home Builders Association will
do all possible to stimulate such
construction.
Costs will be watched most care
fully on these houses and the rec
ords will be made available to other
builders interested in this type of
development. However, complete
cooperation of county officials will
be absolutely necessary in low-cost
housing projects.
Financing Difficult.
A problem which has become in
creasingly acute during l948 is the
mortgage money market. Today
many home purchasers are having
considerable difficulty financing
their home. This situation has COM
pletely reversed itself during the
last year.

guess what will happen.
However. without a major world
upheaval the purchasing public can
expect improvement straight along
in the production of housing. No
industry has snapped back into pro-
duction quicker or made greater
strides in volume since the war.
Home building from now on will
naturally improve in design and
