from the pens of our own composers.
II have been greatly stimulated,

by both colored and white audiences

HOUSING AUTHORITY

HOUSING AUTHORITY
1t seems as though Daytones Met
ropolitan Housing Authority is IN q
muddle more ways than one. In the
first place it has no Negro represen-
tative on its board (which is bad).
In ALL other cities, even in the
Democratic South, at the outset,
some sepia member has been cho-
sen. We wonder why Daytonians
have forgotten gentlemen of color,
we wonder? According to he grape
vine secret meetings are being held
to correct the situation, and at these
meetings it seems as though there is
dissatisfaction to members picked
by the osfays, SO the brethren are
getting nowhere fast.
Also, according to the grapevine,
after the houses or flats or what
ever you choose to call them, are
built the utility chargelight, gas,
water-will run about Sd per month
per room, plus the rent proper and
his fuel bill. Pray tell us what Or
dinarv worker will be able to live
there and If he does what will he
use for money for the other neces-
sites of life? (And it was our idea
that the houses were to be built for
the ordinary man or the man IN
the street.)
Do you know that the average
wage Of the ordinary fellow is no
more than SIS per week, and the
common laborer3s earnings are less
than that during yeas time, due
to atmospheric conditions.
We are told that word received
from the nations capitol says that
the Dayton plan is the best yet sub.
mitted. Be that as it may, but who
on earth is going to occupy these
dwellings,? The guy who is able, al
ready owns his own home. There
aren't enough school teachers ane
professionals without lnelr Owl
places Of abode to occupy thess
houses. But il you throw in enough
bootleggers and numbers barons /
might be possible to fill them.
It's easy enough for some fellow
to sit behind his mahogany desk an
figure out these beautiful things
but when it comes it realization it

too, how much kale does the guy
