TMHA provide for careful

Neither public housing nor
any other governmental service is
provided on basis OF racial per-
centages. The fact that the Negro
population of Toledo constitutes
8.3 per cent of the total, and the
number of Negro families living
in public housing constitutes near
ly so per cent OF the total, is a
startling index of the relatively
low wage earnings of many of To
ledo's Negro families. II Is. there

need and income level are the sole
factors determining the eligibility
of a family for public housing"
No evidence to support the
statement that property values
would be lowered by the admission
of Negroes as tenants "On the
other hand" said the report, con
siderable authoritative evidence
indicates such a generalized state
ment is unfounded

regulations which leave TMHA no
alternative. With the test case
pending, the report did not recon-

the new policy, as it would have
otherwise.

Meanwhile the Ohio Legislature
has before it bills to raise the in
