Authority had already committed

When the California Supreme
Court declared the housing con-
tracts binding upon the city. the
Council tried TO side-step that de-
cision by placing the issue on the
June 3 ballot.
Although this could necessarily
be nothing more than q mock cleo
ton without legal effect on the
housing contracts. the real estate
