Tenants in the $50 government
houses in Rock Island today re-

States housing corporation asking

to have among its other purposes
that of providing a spirit OF cooper

the tenants. It was pointed out
that through such an organization
matters on improvement and care
of the property would be given
more attention by those living IN
the homes and both the corporation
and tenants would benefit.

cipients were urged to reply, max
