Alexandria Report Shows

The proportion of colored to
white residents has decreased in
Alexandria since 1850. according
to census report released yes
terday by the city planning de-
partment.
The figures show Alexandria
now has a total population Of
1880. OF this. 1888 are nom
white. practically all OF whom
are Negro. The nonwhite pop
ulation amounts to lo.l per cent
Of the total
The 1850 census showed 1866
nonwhite residents. or 1914 per
cent Of the 6l,787 total popula-
ton.
The new figures are contained
in a population study which is
part OF the development OF a
master plan for the city.
Housing Seen Factor
Planning officials said the drop
In proportion of colored to white
residents probably is caused by
a shortage Of housing for Negro
families. Most Of the units in
the colored sections are badly
overcrowded.
The census shows that women
continue 70 outnumber men.

Nursing Home
Case Studied

The Montgomery County
Board of Appeals yesterday
heard nearly five hours of testi-
mony in a rehearing of a petit
ton for a Takoma Park nursing
home permit, which had been
granted last May, then Cancelled
because of a technicality.
The complicated case, involv-
ing a proposed nursing home at
which not more than 10 elderly
patients would be cared for, was
reopened last month when it was
discovered an adjoining prop
erty owner had not been noti-
fed of the application prior to
the May 10 decision.
Mrs. Russell H. Bretz, a regis
tered nurse. was the applicant
for special exception to main
tain the nursing home at 606
Philadelphia avenue, Takoma
Park. The request was bitterly
opposed by nelghborhood resi-
dents and by Takoma Park Of
f1cials.
Opposition to the nursing home
was led by Vincent Gingerich
Takoma Park city counsel, and
j. Bond Smith. general counsel
for the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Cap

sion, who appeared as a tax
payer.
After hearing evidence from

plicant's attorney. r. Robert

continued the hearing. The date
of the continuation is to be an
nounced later.

port states. But considering
available undeveloped land. en-
ployment trends and population
movements, the planners expect

A large portion Of the increase
is from people living in the area
annexed in 1852 from Fairfax
County. The report says there
are 1870 living in the annexed
area. There we're an estimated
1900 living in that area at the
time Of annexation.
Most Of the future growth is

This section of the freeway, how
ever. is planned to be on a solid
fill.
Killed BY Cost
1t was estimated that to change
the design to carry the roadway
above the parking space would
cost $777,50O. This. plus $82,-
700 for paving, would bring the
cost to 1884 per parking space.
This was regarded as economi-
cally unsound and no recon-
mendation was made.
The cost per space in the
project recommended was put at
$500.
The members of the agency
discussed coming regulations re-
lating to parking spaces which
are part of the program adj
vanced by Harold M. Lewis in
the city's proposed coming over
haul
There was agreement that new
regulations should not require
provision for off-street parking
in the erection of new office
buildings in the downtown, or
C5, area. Belief was expressed
that private parking garages and
lots have taken care of the needs
and would continue to do so.
The agency concurred in some
of Mr.. Lewis proposals, urged
further study for others and
postponed consideration of still
others. 1t was announced that
Thornton w. Owen, real estate
appraiser, would be asked to be
present at the next meeting and
