City Housing Capacity Survey Underway in Bridgeport
A survey of Bridgeport housing facilities and lodging rooms is being conducted under Francis Alahoney of the Bureau of Industrial Housing, Department of Labor, Washington. The effort aims to maximize use of furnished and unfurnished rooms, urging owners of shore or country homes to offer them year round for munition workers, with a Department of Labor office to open in Court Mischange building. The program seeks to reduce rents by expanding available rooming space and to maintain a local record of rents and vacancies. Government officials say Bridgeport’s housing situation is acute and mass arrivals are unlikely unless space is freed up.
