A $ a famous poet once said, the

Not when it comes to road building

"spurts it out" -. by the mile.
Where the East drives it's men,
America drives it's machines. And, with
"Your Unseen Friends" help, builds

the psychological effect wall and

cupants Of q house.
One type now being marketedl
consists Of plastic panels finishedl
In the richness of fine woods.
These plastic panels, made by al
high-heat-bake process. faithfully
reproduce the coloring and grain.
Once installed they stay beautiful
year after year, and eliminate theI
old redecorating problems. as we'll
as the endless debates between the
merits of wallpaper and paint.

Installation is easy. The large
panels go up quickly and easily
over existing walls. In general
walls to receive these big panelsl
should be dry and constructed inl
such a manner that there is mol

from the back to the surface. Onl

ceilings are easy to clean. Dirt,
grease or moisture that might ac-
cumulate on the surface can be
cleaned off easily and quickly with
a damp cloth.
Prevent Window FOgging.
Not every home is free from the
problems Of steamed-up or logged
windows and with the advent of
cool weather this condition Is
faced by many housewives. The
problem can now be solved by the
use Of q specially treated cloth
now on the market which, the
manufacturer claims, will result in
crystal clear windows.
The application of this specially
treated cloth provides for the COM
plete change of the condition of
the inside surface of the window
from a non-absorbent surface to
an absorbent one. In so doing. the
particles of moisture deposited on
that surface are caused to fiatten
completely rather than to remain
in their small conicle form, which
is the actual cause Of vision dis
tortion or obscuration.
To prevent Jogging, just wipe
of q steamed window with one Of
these specially treated cloths, us
ing a firm motion and you will
have clear vision. Tt is equally
effective on bathroom mirrors.
eyeglasses, automobile windshields
or any glass surface on which
Steaming appears. It does not pre-
vent formation of ice.
This cloth may be used again
and again until the fabric is worn
out. the cloth itself should never
be washed. The window or glass
to be treated should be slightly
wet.

highest bid. Highest bid was about
100000 more than Standard
Constructors low bid. Altogether,
three bids were received.
NCHA was asked by The Star to
give a breakdown of some of the
items representing the difference
between the construction contract
Iof $3,193, ,693 and the $4,068, ,996
representing the estimated total
development cost.
The agency supplied the re-
Iquested information. John unlder.
INCTLA executive director, pointed
out, however, that in the periodic
Ipro-and-con discussions Of the
virtues of public housing VS.. pri-
vate housing. private builders
were never obliged to supply COM
parable figures.
He said he considered this stu
alton rather unfair to public
housing in that private builders
could shoot at public housing cost
items and attempt to present Ger
tain of those items as extravv
agant.
He cited, for example, architec-
tural and engineering fees, which
usually are substantial in public
housing jobs. and said that in the
past private builders suggested too
much was paid for architectural
fees.
Fee Schedule Raised.
A fee schedule policy on archi-
tectural fees was fixed by the
Public Housing Administration
several years ago which eStab-
lished higher rates than were ORR
ginally contemplated after pro-
tests were made to PHA by the
American Institute of Architects
against the fee schedule that had
been set up originally.
It is a commonly accepted fact
that architects are generally will
ing to work for private builders
at a lower fee than for the Gov
ernment. A fine question is raised
by this situation which does not
have an easy answer. Then, also.
some private builders employ
architects on salary basis as a
means Of cutting architectural
costs.
Major, items in the breakdown
of estimated costs include the
following:
$156,00O as the estimated pres
ent value of the land. The land.
however, was purchased about 10
years ago at considerably lower
figure.
$4,000 for NCHA expenses in
connection with development.
This, it was explained, includes
salaries of certain officials and
proportionate share Of other
NCHA officials salaries for time
spent on development.
$136,000 for technical planning.
including architectural and engi-
neering fees of about $84 900.
$4,000 for the Census Bureau
in payment for collection Of data
bearing on NCHA's program.
For Ranges, Etc.
$4,000 for miscellaneous plan
ming, including test boring, etc.
$4,000 for ranges, refrigera-
tors and hot-water heaters. CThe
agency said this amount very likely
would not be needed in full.)
$55,0O0 for construction. fur
nishing and equipment of an adj
ministration building on the site.

Thus, public housing has com'
to be a sort of token expiatior
by American society of the coun'
try's failure to provide adequate
housing for larger families Of Low

Up to now there have alway;
been a sufficient number of .llor.

for use by advocates of public

The only project to get under
way here so far is called Stanton
Dwellings. It is located on Is
acres of land at Stanton road and
Alabama avenue Sc, and will
have 348 dwellings. The estimated
total development cost is $4, ,068.
