C0LORED SUBURB IN AFRICA
Attempt to Be Made In Bloemfonteln
to Raise Standard Of Native
Citizenship.

An important resolution was passed
at a town council meeting anticipating
the native urban areas bill and safe
guarding the rights of the colored peo-
ple, according to a Bloemfontein letter
to the Christian Science Monitor. The
idea is to raise the standard of colored
citizenship by granting the colored peo-
pie separate suburbs, involving the
freehold of their own homes and the
management of their own affairs under
the direction Of the town council. II
is intended to give tenancy "at will"
for the present, to be changed into
freehold" when the bill will be passed
The freehold is to be limited so as not
to allow either any rights In town or
permission to mortgage.
The resolution was passed In the
following terms: "Thet the new col
ored suburb, as set out on the plan sub
mitted by the city engineer, be ap-
proved, and that stands be allocated to
colored people on application, and SUBJ
ject to the terms and conditions to be
framed by the native affairs committee
with a view to ultimately turning the
same into limited freehold under the
contemplated native urban areas bin"
