Housing construction for col
ored families has doomed here
since World War II ended,
though admittedly such activ-
ity is proportionately far below
the volume of new construc-
ton for white families.
On the other hand, the gen.
eral housing boom has opened
up many existing homes for
colored people that were un-
available previously, as families
moved from such homes into
new houses and new apartments.
Though there is no way to
measure the number. observers
point out that since the end Of
World War IT many thou
sands of homes and apartments
formerly occupied by white fam
lilies have become available to
colored families.
These dwellings. added to the
new houses ana apartments,
have helped somewhat to ease
the shortage for colored families
in this area.
Clue to Number.
The full number of new
houses and apartments built In
the postwar period for colored
occupancy is not known. Best

families is provided by the Fed

ically provided for colored

made available for production
of an additional 1858 apart

Microf1lming Of all checks is
necessary should any check in
Quiry arise in the future.
The check-preparing work will
continue in high gear the rest
of the month. But September
80 won't mean the company car
close its books and forget about
the refund.
BY that time. and probably
on into next year, officials ex-
pect to be receiving undelivered
checks, which must be retraced
and mailed out again If pos
Sible. Bank statements and
cleared checks will be coming
in to be doublechecked by the
company.
Other Troubles.
And having gone through a
refund before, the utility also
is looking forward unhappily to
a spate of checks improperly
indorsed, or forged by letterbox
pilferers.
The $64 question that most
consumers ask-How much is in
it for Intellectually amounts
to nowhere near $64 for the
home owner or apartment
dweller.
A company spokesman today
SHE'D from assessing the size of
the average" refund to come
from the $1.2 million pool. But.
wheeling out a couple of 1850
averages, he put it this way:
II the householder who used
gas for all but heating had a
17-month bill totaling $50, his
s per cent refund would come
to So. The home owner whose
gas bill Included heating and
totaled $3.50 for the same pc
riod would get a refund of
about $12.
Refund checks will range from
10 cents up" the spokesman
added, indicating that the $2,100
due the District government and
a slightly larger amount due
Federal Government will be
among the largest on the rolls.
May Get Costs Back.
A foreboding note, from the
consumer standpoint, was
sounded by one company Of
fetal in the course of explaining
the whole refund problem to-
day:
"The entire cost of the refund
will be charged to operations
there's no other way we can
enter 1t.
Ultimately, we will have to
seek a new rate adjustment
with the Public Utilities Com
mission and this cost will be
part of the record before it.
Its up to the PUG how to
figure this cost. I frankly don't
know whether we'll get it back
or not"
That he thinks the company
should get it back, this official
made clear: After all, our rates
today are S per cent lower than
they were in 1899. and of what
ever other cost Of living can
you say that?"

Army authorities at the biologi-

tanned arsenic and was sprayed
