HOMESTEAD PLANS REGEIVEIBKESU.K.I Spring Costumes for Newport News Project Is Second Approved; Will Aid 100 Families. A subsistence homestead project, planned to accommodate 100 colored families at Newport News, Va. has been approvel by Secretary of the Interior Ickes. ‘The Newport News project is the second to receive approval of a serfes of projects undertaken by the Division of Subsistence Homesteads to give one-tenth of the country’s popula- tion which is colored, its fair share of the $25000,000 which Congress provided for subsistence homesteads. $245,000 Is Allotted. Secretary Ickes allotted $245,000 for the project and to cover also the pur- chase of & 200-acre tract two-and-a- half miles outside the city limits. The only other colored homesteads project under way is in Atlanta. The Newport News project will con- sist of 30 three-room, 50 four-room |, and 20 five-room houses, with the necessary outbuildings and utilities. ‘The project is being supported by an influential group headed by President Arthur Howe of Hampton Institute, well-known colored school. Some 2,500 of the city's dock and shipyard workers are colored and dur- ing normal times they average $20 weekly in wages. This average has| fallen off to about $14, and few are able to get more than two or three days’ work a week. The living condi- tions of the workers are very poor, according to Interior Department of- ficials. Despite this, it was said the average rent pald by these colored ‘workers is $20 a month. Utilize Spare Time. The alm of the subsistence home- steads project then, Ickes reported, is to give them an opportunity to utilize i their spare time in the production | of food they may require and to lift| them to & higher social and health level. The project will give a new economic stability to families who have hitherto been in constant danger of going on public relief. A paved highway leads to the site of the project and the Eastern Shore Bus Co., has promised transportation to homesteaders at reduced costs. School facilities are adequate near the site. The cost of individual home- stead units will vary from $2,000 to $2,500, depending on the size of the lots and number of rooms. A contract for the purchase of the fand has been entered into and plans for the project are being pressed. OWNERS T0 BE HELD FOR WRONG PARKING Auto Proprietors Are Responsible Under Amendment to Traffic Rules. The owners of automobiles im- properly parked will be held respon- sible for such violations of traffic rules, even though they did not per- sonally park the machine, under an amendment to the traffic regulations approved yesterday by the District Commissioners. The action was taken on recommen- dation of Corporation Counsel Pretty- man and Traffic Director Van Duzer. It is intended to meet the answers given in many parking cases that the owner was not responsible, since the ! parking violations were committed by | some relative or employe. Officials hope the change will enable police to gain more effectivé enforce- ment of parking restrictions. A new type of traffic signal is to be installed at M street and the ap- proach to Key Bridge to permit con- tinuous flow of trafic westbound on M street. This will be shown by an arrow light signal. Other signal changes will regulate traffic from M street onto the bridge. NEWLY FORMED LEGION POST MEETS SATURDAY Officers to Be Installed and 300 Charter Members Initiated by Treasury Group. Installation of officers and initia- tion of between 200 and 300 charter members will feature the first formal meeting of the newly organized United States Treasury Post, No. 35, American Legion, Saturday night at the Mayflower Hotel. Officers of the post include J. I. Bellow, commander; Leslie Wheeler, senior vice commander; Charl Dailey, jr. junior vice command Philip P.
