Alameda Housing Proiects to Cost Carl R. Moore Making Headquarterg $4500,000 In Oakland

The planned 1200-unit housing project to be built on the site south of the Bethlehem Steel Co. plant in Alameda will be named after William Worthington Chipman, founder of Alameda. Chipman and Gideon Auginbaugh bought the then peninsula of Alameda in 1851 for $14,000 and sub-divided the land, donating free ferry trips from San Francisco to prgspective buyers. The 800-unit project east of Clark Pottery near Pacific Avenue, which is also expected to be constructed shortly, will be named Encinal, after the evergreen oaks. Both projects, financed by the Federal Government, will be for the benefit of war industry workers and of temporary construction. Total cost of both is estimated at $4500,000.
