Excuse Unusual,
But Not Accepted

The excuse that an l8 year old
Fremont driver gave police Off
Ger William keesor when halted

The cruiser was behind Wayne

his car across Third at Harrison
and drove in an erratic manner.
He was halted attempting TO furn
info the alley now blocked off.

high school auditorium. ne return
ed to Chicago this week, but will

Hugo C. Schwartz, regional director
of PHA, will be here for the tenant
meeting.
Question of whether the contract
should include a provision that ac-
ton for annexation is to start inn
mediately in the new part of
Erie Gardens (not now within the
city limits) was raised. Since the
contract is with the government,
which steps from the picture as
soon as title is turned over to pri-
vate buyers, Solicitor Lowell Peter
sen said he did not think it neces-
sary. Mr.. Nicholson offered, how
ever, to obtain signatures of unit
purchasers on the necessary an
nexation forms as part of the tran
sactionS.
Complete details on the improve
ments the city has agreed to make
at the Gardens in return for the
$50, 500 will be found in publication
of Ordinance No. 20-56, printed
elsewhere in the News today. Wild
ening, paving, new streets, and re-
surfacing of parking aras are in

brochures, available when the sale
opens will contain prices of each
individual property. Price will vary
from $500 to Sd, 400 per unit, de-
pending on location.
An additional assistant will be
put on at the Gardens office as the
sale opens. This priority list will
be followed in accepting purchase
requests:

3: Veteran who lives in the
Gardens, but wishes TO buy a
Unit other than fhe one he
occupies.
a: Veteran living outside fhe
Gardens.
S: Non-veteran resident of any
Gardens unit.
6: Outsiders in general.
