back and forth and back. BY
mid-afternoon she was trying
dirt roads. BY night she'd covered

The Rev. Mr.. white told the Civil

Ramsey's rejection by the DSR

sent him to the Ford hospital,

Over Height Of
New Buildings

The question OF six-story buildings
for the new Douglass Apartments
Housing project, injected into the
meeting of the Detroit Housing
commission Monday, prov d d
grounds for the calling OF special
meeting for Wednesday.
The special meeting was called
following a long and heated dis
cussion OF the question, and pro-
voked division of opinion. Those
opposed TO the six-story building
maintained that they would present
a serious maintenance problem,
and, at the same time. prove insult
able for families with children.

The question concerning the six
story buildings was projected into
the meeting when plans for the
Apartments was submitted by HaF-
ley a. Ellington, ARCHITECTURAL firm.
Their plan proposed four buildings
OF six-story construction and A OF
either two or three-story height.
Commissioner Harriet ID. Kelly.
who is a vice president OF Homer
Warren e. Co., led the opposition to
the six-story building. She was
supported by Commissioner Henry
L. Sable.
Commissioner Horace A. White
declared himself in favor OF the
six-story buildings. asserting that
this would provide larger space for
play areas. Commissioner White al
so stated that he would like 10 see
the building with pitched roofs in
stead OF fiat roofs. relieving the
monotony OF sameness.
The Douglass project will be
constructed on the 24-acre site
Immediately south OF the Brewster
Homes, bounded by wilkins on the
north, Winder on the south, Beau
bien on the west. and Hastings on
the east. 1t will contain 736 dwell
