The Minneapolis Urban League

/ The survey warned that there
was a tendency towards more seq

In addition to making new houS-

sen housing development has fore
ed the sale price of the already eS-
isting older homes in the area TO
drop to where they are now selling
at prices comparable with those
homes of the same type and age in
other parts OF the city.
For quite awhile some real es-
tate firms and statesmen have ex-
plotted the Negro market by hik-
ing the price of homes that were
available to Negro purchasers

price to Negro buyers was often
hiked as much as $1,000
