HUGE SUM FOR 'HOUSES IN GROTON. Million and a Half to Provide Accom- modations for Shipyard Workers. Erwin A. Morse, president’of the Grotop iron, works, returied from his weekly trip to Washington Thursday evening optimistic about getling one and one-half million of the five million dollar appropriation authorized by con- gress for the purpose of providing i ¢ the army ~of shipydrd Morse was one of the party of men who dttended a conférence in Mgvor Rogers' office some two. weeke or’so ago with a view of taking up the "housing problem for workmen -em- ployed in New. Liondon shipyards and other iAdustries- which - are greatly handicapped by & lack of homes for their greatly ‘augmented forces. At this conference it was arranged to send F. J. Howell and Mr. Morse to Washingion to see if any portion of this appropriation could be obtained for New .London. Upon their return from this first trip Mr. Howell stated that J. Rogers ilannery, -who is in charge of the housing problem, inform- ed the commitiee that this appropria- tion .was solely for ‘housing workmen engaged in shipbuilding operations for the government and not for the woi men emploved in other industries. It was not the government's intention to finance building plans for privately owned concerns, except such as have been commandeered.and put solely on government ‘contracts. . This put the matter in a favorable light' for the Groton Iron works and disposed of any hopes that the pther industrial mén in New London may have had in re- lation of procuring additional houses for their help. 5 Mr. Howell stated, however, that he was informed that another government bureau was likely to be organized which would endeavor to do similar work for allied industries in cases where there_ was urgent need. Mr. Morse on his trip this week in- terviewed Mr. Flannery again and ac- cording to the offer of the government made to Mr. Morse the Groton plant will receive aid up to: the amount of $1500,000, provided the Groton Iron works will put up 10 per cent. of the {@mount. The government will _then |take a first mortgage on ‘the ~new { houses to protect itself and put up 90 tper cent of the money. | Mr. Morse assured the authorities that the company would-do so. and 1®hile the contract has not been fely: [“onsummated Mr. Morse says' he has | every reason fo believe that the ar- rangement’ will go through and that | the erection of houses will start just as soon as the weather permits. it is the ‘plan to erect these houses on land owned by the Groton Iron works, and Mr. Morse ‘estimates that_this amount will enable them to construct about 500 houses. The shipping board’s es- timate of the cost”to holse u singie man iy $250 and about $1200 for a family. A house to accommodate, for instance, ten single men, would-entail a cost to build of $2,500. Mr. Morse also endeavored from time to time to induce thegShore Iine Blectric Rail- way. company to extend a spur trofley track from Groton horough -to the shipyards, which are locited a mile to a mile and a half heyond the trolley. The trolley company has mot felt war- ranted in going to this expense and no road has been constructed. Tt has ! been necessary for the workmen to either walk, take 4 jitney from . the trolley line or to take paskage from New London. on the small Yantic, which the Groton Iron works acquired some months ago for the purpose of conveving their employes to and from the shipyvards. the shipping board considers it of as much importance to get work- men {o the shipyards as it is to house them, it.is helieved that Mr. Morse will feel justified in expending a por- tion of this sum for the purpose of building an extension ‘of the trolley, either paying for' the whole cost’ or bhaving the electric road agree to stand a part of the expense, As this seems to take®care of Mr Morse's. problem, the other interests, including the New London Ship and Engine. company, the D. E, Whiion company, the Thames Boat company and several others which are also in need of housing facilities for their workmen, will ‘have to get busy on their own hook and try and get some help along this ling when a proposi- tion similar to the shipbuilding prepo- sition affords them an opportunity. I ie likely that another egnferenee wilt be called hy Mr. Howell and repart made regarding the Groton Iron wearks and possibly some plan formulated in- tending to assist the other industries: whieh appear just now to he left out in the cold: SALVATION ARMY C‘A'_J_PAIGN.
