most Of the others can be pur-
chased by negotiation. Property
owners who won't agree on
prices can have q determination
made by q condemnation jur1,
which will be formed after the
eminent domain powers are ex-

The construction date hinges
largely on how fast new homes
can be found for the displaced
families. Those eligible for pub
lie housing will get priority con.
sideration from the NCHA.
Those not eligible will be referred
to the District Redevelopment
Land Agency. which has set up q
rehousing service for families
displaced from the southwest re-
development project.
The two agencies have o close
working relationship. which will
serve both the public housing
and redevelopment programs.
Boundaries Recently Set.
The final go-ahead for the
Carrollsburg project was given
three days ago, when the Dis
trict Commissioners formally
approved boundaries for the
project. Funds are available for
the work through contracts with
the Public Housing Administra-
ton.
Plans for the Southeast job
were discussed by the NCHA
board yesterday. In other &C.
tions. the group:
/. Decided that the first SOL.
unit section of the East Capitol
Street Dwellings. now nearing
completion, should be limited for
the present to Negro families.
The action was taken after the
board heard q report that there
are no schools or recreation IA
cilities in the area for white chill
dren.
The agency has a policy Of
opening all it's units to both
white and Negro families. but
has deferred it in areas which
do not have facilities to serve
both.

sioners to extend for a year
until June 80, 1955-the date
within which the agency can
accept ownership of the High

The Highland project. built for
war-worker housing. is to be
transferred to NCHA as q per-
