Housing Code Drive
Seen Alexandra Aid

| Speaking before the Old
Town Citizens Association, Mr..
Williams said city officials were
faced with a number Of prob
lens in enforcing the code.
In some areas an owner can
not repair a frame structure
because fire laws prohibit it, he
said. In other cases, SUBJ
standard houses cannot be re-
paired because they are in
areas Zoned for industrial use
and owners may not prolong
the residential character Of the
property.
In addition, he said, the city
is working with an "old, anti
quated" building code which
makes it improbable for own
ers to make repairs.
In order to achieve efficient
slum clearance, the city must
undertake an urban renewal
program and enforce its build
ing code as well as the housing
hygiene code, he said. There
has been practically no enforce
ment of the building code be-
cause of a lack of personnel"
he added.
The city also must encourage
private homeowners voluntarily
to repair dwellings which are
run down but which do not vio-
late any of the city's laws, he
said.

Appeals Possible
Appeal procedures are noted
in the proposal, which also
authorizes the health officer to

ance and prohibits him from

to flnd suitable housing else

The committee said that
while there Is virtually no
low-cost housing being con-
structed in the county for
whites Or Negroes. there is al
most no adequate housing to
be obtained for Negroes in Fair
fax County at any price -.
mot only is land for Negro
occupants very scarce, but also
home financing is most diff
cult for Negroes to arrange.
At the same time, large tracts
of land owned by Negroes have
been taken for schools and
other public purposes.
Suitable low-cost housing
should be available before any
public officials are given the
right to evict residents Of slum
dwellings, the committee said.
The committee said the hous-
ing program first should in
volve private builders, banks
and other financial institu-
tions, but added that assistance
from State and Federal sources
should be investigated.
IF the county should decide
to apply for Federal assistance
for financing slurn clearance
for urban renewal. an ordi-
nance such as the. proposed

would be one of the seven i'm

A special citizens committee
has charged that prosperous
Fairfax County's slum housing
is a breeding ground of dis
ease, crime and misery" and
called for laws to prevent it ana
better housing to cure it.
A report by the county'S
Minimum Housing Standards
Committee, which studied the
problem for eight months. went
to the Board of County Super
visors late yesterday. The SUI
pervisors took the report under
advisement.
The report listed minimum
standards for housing and Sug-
gested low-cost housing to re-
place the slums, possibly A.
nanced by the State or Federal
Government. to clean up what
were described as appalling"
conditions.
The report quoted the 1850
census as noting 1882 dilapi-
dated housing units at the time.
adding that lit is reasonable
to suppose that the number of
substandard housing units in
the county has remained about
the same"
1860 Data Unavailable ~
The committee said 1860 flg-
ures were not available, but
explained that the total num-
Der Of houses in the county has
increased greatly in the last 10
years.
The committee pointed to
the areas of Lorfax, Vienna,
Falls Church, Gum Springs and
Baileys Crossroads in COM
menting that "substandard
housing in the county is
both rural and urban in char
acter.
Although the worst housing
is both owned and occupied by
