Flat Roofs Excludedln Housing Plan Only One and Two Family Units to Be in Project; Construction to Start in March Wethersfield Preliminary plans for Wethers-field's 130 defense housing units call lor one and two-family houses only, and for all roofs to be hipped, instead of the customary flat roofs for defense houses. First Selectman Alfred W. Han-mer disclosed these details Saturday following a Friday night session with the USHA to discuss the housing colony construction which will besin sometime in March. Contrary to previous reports, tneTe will be no four-family houses in the colony, if these preliminary plans are carried out.

Mr. Hannier said that the housing authorities followed his suggestions as to the architects for the units to be built on the Lewis site, sale of which was; completed Friday for $16,000. The architects are: K.eitn teuers neine, Joseph T. Reynolds, and M. H.

Lincoln. General Plan. The site, about 400 feet west of the Deane Highway near Maple Street, contains 21 acres which, it has been pointed out, cannot contain all of the 130 units allotted to Wethersfield. Housing authorities have tried to buy land adjoining the Lewis farm and belonging to G. L.

Harris, but the latter refuses to sell. Mr. Hanmer said that the plans discussed Friday night, however, would place a considerable part of the 130 units on the Lewis tract. Entrance to the new colony would be from an extension vof Longvue Drive. Two streets are proposed.

One will be built circularly around the tract, while the second street will extend through the middle of the 21 -acre site to a dead-end, where a traffic turn will be provided. It is possible, Mr. Hanmer said, that the colony will be connected with Prospect, Maple, and Brimfield streets by new roads. Bids Opened. Bids for the erection of the units were opened Saturday.

Cost of a single unit, according to statute, cannot exceed $4500, including cost of theana7or $3750 hat cost. For the landscaping of each unit, $b0 may be used, me single -family units will contain on the average of four or five rooms, although a few six-room singles are tentatively planned. Present at the meeting Friday night was Wethersfleld's advisory defense housing committee, elected at the recent town meeting, and including William J. Miller, Fred Sehl, Eugene Kelly, Howard Wilson and Richard Donovan. The committee is not expected to wield any influence until construction of the units is completed.
