BAGGETT, Staft Correspondent of The Star. ALEXANDRIA, Va., November 30. —Not since the days when the first families of the then thriving seaport town of Alexandria started building back from the marsh lands of the Po- tomac River and Hunting Creek. has this 200-year-old city experienced a building boom and housing problem similar to that of toGay. Even in days of the War Bptween the States, when Federal troops camped here and their officers occu- pied most available homes, and later during the World War, when & ship- building factory, an airplane plant and the construction of Fort Hum- phreys brought hundreds of new resi- dents to Alexandria, real estate deal- ers were never so besteged for apart- | ments and homes to rent. The New Deal, with its influx of new Government employes, and the natural growth of a city that has finally decided that‘its future lies in being & residential municipality, have combined with & new craving of home- owners for early American surround- ings to precipitate housing problems here that architects, carpenters, brick- since collece ice of these asso only receipts of | layers and plasterers are endeavoring | | to solves. ! Unofficial figures place Alexandria’s new population at somewhere between 30,000 and 34,000. Most of the growth has been within the past three years. The 1930 census takers counted the city’s inhabitants as only 24,185. At present there are at least 200 homes under censtruction here, ac- cording to Martin E. Greene, manager of the Alexandria Chamber of Com- merce. These may be added to the 150 homes either newly built or re- constructed during the past year to give some idea of the building activity under way in “George Washington's home town.” And the demand continues.
