That way, we got mass pro- duction at cheap cost, even con- sidering the extra cost of using re- lief labor.” He quotes Rexford G.

Soon there will be shops on the grounds of the administration suilding where some of the villag- rs may work. Investigate 1,000 Families Privately owned factories also are hoped for—but the administration was said little about this angle. “It's an experiment. of course,” ays Willilam N. Beehler, state clief administrator ir whose name 15 trustee the vroject is registered. “We already have made careful investigations of more than 1,000 families who want to move in there, and we haven't accepted one of them definitely yet. We are 'golng to pick only the best.” Most families selected as home- steaders by the relief administra~ tion will be those of destitute min- ers from southern West Virginia Each will have a year's trial, during which it will pay a “nominal rent” and be required to earn a living by tilling the soil. May Buy Homes Each family will have besides the acre of ground, a barn, a cow, two pigs and some chickens. Bach | barn is constructed so it can serve as a garage. Families which prove worthy in the 12-month test period will be given a chance to buy their homes jand land on notes payable over a | period of 20 years. Red House—it takes its name from the big red brick house which until several months ago was the sole building on the site—is the | third subsistence homestead pro- ject in West Virginia. The other two are at Reedsville and in Ty- jgart’s Valley. It is the first in the nation, how- ever, to be built and operated by a state, although financed by the federal government. Beehler says the Interior Depart- {ment is planning or building about 150° other suhsistence homestead projects. The cifider-block houses at Red House, designed for a severe cli- mate, are costing an average of {82150 each, including land and barn. # The first group built at Red | House—152 homes—has brought the |government’s investment there to $620,000 and 102 others planned for the future will raise the cost | to more than $1,000,000, officials | { say. 450 On Construction { Construction work employs 4601 |men daily, taken from relief rons‘ {and given jobs at from *45 cents | to $1.31 cents an hour.

A parkway boulevard is under construction, and there is a road leading from the village down to the river, splitting the large com- munity farm. The whole project covers 2,200 acres. A natural gas “gusuer” well has been brought in. P. C. Rouzer, resi- dent manager, says it produces more than enough gas to furnish fuel and heat for every house. It will furnish a surplus for sale to private industry, and a second well employment in the 20 smal sho;y to be constructed. A central community food plan is planned, where surplus food can be canned and stored for the win- ter.
