CORPS OF 150

WORKMEN RUSH WABASH HOMES

RA Structures Will Be Four, Five and Six-Room Dwellings.

VINCENNES, Sept. 10 (U.P.).— With a corps of more than 150 workmen pushing construction work, 22 houses of the 71 units planned by the Resettlement Administration are nearing completion on the Wabah Farms project in Knox Couny. In addition to building houses and barns, carpenters, masons and laborers are erecting poultry houses, garages and other improve-

_ ments necessary to equip the units

for occupancy.

The structures will be four, five and six-room frame buildings without basements. Modernization will be only partial with runaig water in the kitchens and electric lights where power lines are available.

Cost at Minimum

Philip G. Beck, homestead work * director for the RA, explai~ed the Administration avoided making the houses completely modern to keep costs down [to a minimum.

“Cost of improvements will be included in the price future occupants will have to pay for their homesteads as we are attempting to keep the prices las low as possible,” he said. “All of the improvements are designed to make modernization readily possible later when the occupants have reached more solid financial footing.” The entire Wabash Farms project eventually will include units for 71 families. Thirty of them wlil be located on. two-group farm areas while the remainder will be individual farm units.

The group farms will be located south of Vincennes in Knox County. The so-called Deshee Farm planned for 18 families, ‘is located on Highway 41 south of the city about seven miles and .another group farming area is planned for 12 families a few miles west of the Deshee Farm.

Economy Effected

The houses, Mr. Beck said, wil average in cost about $2000 each. He pointed out considerable economy already had been effected by precutting of lumber before 1t

the future homesteads has been in progress fr sometime, with preliminary investigation of applicants completed. Final selection is expected to take place during the late fall months. A large portion of the homesteaders are expected to come from the ranks of several hundred rural rehabilitation clients now living on rented farms in the territory surrouriding Vincennes.

These families, who have been making a new start in farming during the last year or two by means of loans from the RA, have had time to accumulate livestock and equipment necessary for efficient farm operations. ?

Other occupants will be chosen from among those who recently sold their nonagricultural land in northern Martin County to the RA for forestry, wildlife and recreation de-

Their appointment commissions were the same type given other State ‘officers named by the Governor under terms of the Reorganization Act. Mr. Jackson’s opinion held that Purdue trustees did not come under provisions of this statute, which centralized the appointive power for most other State offices in the Governor’s office.
