PLAT PLAN Gets
FUND SETBACK
No Action Taken At Meeting
To Raise Funds For
Witt Addition

The proposal that the Albert
Witt addition be purchased and
developed for home sites, as a
community enterprise to encour-
age home building, was given a
setback Monday night when an
unofficial committee decided to
take no action at this time.
The proposal was made in re-
cent months by Frank Putnam,
building contractor, after a survey
revealed great scarcity Of do
sirablc lots available for home
sites.
For approximately $4,000 it
was believed that the Witt addi-
tion south of West Sixth street,
could be purchased and developed
with streets, sewers and water
lines, providing over 40 desirable
lots to be sold to home builders.
Exploring the possibility that
the 100000 might be raised from
public spirited citizens who would
get, thcl money back when the
lots were sold, Mr.. Putnam called
an unofficial committee meeting
Monday night at which the whole
project was again discussed.
When "no action" decision re-
suited, it appeared likely that the
10-acrc addition would continue to
be Il soybcan fields for another
NNnr.

The telegram had referred to
the General Federation board as.

the inclusion of the District, since
the local organization is on record
in opposition to the treaty. On
motion of Miss Cornelia Hill, the
delegates voted to ask Mrs. Hough-
ton to correct the mistake.
Mrs. Houghton's telegram to
President Truman asked that the

American ratification of the treaty
by opposing a resolution pending
in Legal Committee of the u. N.

out that the federation has ex-
pressed support of the Atlantic
