mously at the July meeting. held
Tuesday Maurice R. Large, and
Morton L. Davis. having served for

clined to seek reelection.
The resolutions:
To Maurice r. Large
Mr. Maurice R Large COMPLETED
Is years of continuous intelligent
and faithful service as a member
of the Town Council on June 30.
1856, having declined to run for re-
election.
During his service on the Council
many important projects have been
undertaken and completed following
the war. He has served on the most
important committees with unusual
ability and devotion
Duling the last two years he has
been Chairman of the Finance Com
mittee and has served as President
Of the Town Council and in this
capacity has acted as mayor on oc-
casions when the Mayor was absent
This body wishes to sincerely
thank Mr. Large for his service.
and while we will miss his valu-
able Storehouse of ideas and infor
nation about the Towns affairs. We
know that since he will continue to
live among us that his services
and information will be available
to us from time to time.
To Morton L. Davis
On June 80, 1856, Mr. Morton L.
Davis completed years of contin-
uous and devoted service on the
Council of his native town having
declined to run for reelection, and
it can be properly said of him that
no man has served on this body
with a greater degree OF faithful
ness. independence of mind a n d
thought and with a greater desire
to fairly, adequately and intelli
gently serve the citizens of Farm
vile. His keen sense of humor. his
ability to analize and evaluate facts
has set an example of high degree
of genuine service that will be by
his fellow councilmen pleasantly
and long remembered.
For the past two years he has
served as a member of the Finance
Committee. 1t is with deep apprecl-
alton and yet with tinge of sad
ness that we record the end Of his
service. We wish for him many
years of happiness among US and
while he will no longer be mem
Der of this body. We will always
feel free to call upon him knowing
that he will give an intelligent, UNI
biased answer to any question as
has characterized his Servlc e
throughout the past eight years.
BE IT RESOLVED, that a copy
of these resolutions be recorded as
part of the minutes of this meet
ing: that copies be forwarded to
Mr.. Large and to Mr.. Davis and
that third copy be published III

Government in the housing field,
to help finance the bankers and
builders, but not to help the peo-
pie who are to live in the houses
and buy them. A new doctrine
has been devised: That the only
proper role for Government in
housing is to help the flnanciers,
contractors and realtors.
Its all right to stand back
Of them and aid them at every
turn, but to help people to &C
quire housing at costs they can
afford-that's socialism.
I'm fact, there is a measure Of
specialization in the housing field
today. Risk has been socialized.
The financing of housing has
been, to a great extent, social
lied. Through the Federal Hous-
ing Administration and the Vet
Grams Administration systems,
billions of dollars of Government
credit are pledged for the sup
port. not of individuals. but OF
lending institutions"
Federal Practice Questioned
But he made it clear he does
not oppose use of Federal guar
antees or credits for housing
where the main aim is to aid the
general public to buy or rent
better housing at lower costs and
charges But he questioned the
practice when the Governments
aid merely helps the banks, IN
surance companies. mortgage
Arms and the realtors"
Senator Lehman, who is spon-
soring legislation to build 100000
public housing units, described
his bill.
The Senator said 1t is past
time when the Government
should be addressing itself to
these problems: Minority group
housing, growing resistance to
slum clearance; housing for
migratory farm workers. housing
for typical families and residen-
tial land space in metropolitan
cities.

ton advocates a token program
of public housing" he said. 4
suppose that's only a little So
cialism. and that's tolerable. But
an adequate public housing pro-
gram-according to the real es-
tate lobby-is absolutely intol-
cradle.
There are some sound pro-
visions in the ADMINISTRATORS
program, but mostly they are
dedicated to the proposition that
what is good for the builders
and flnanciers is good enough
for the homeowners and renters
and the country"

Although the Housing Au-
thority has requested consid-
Grafton for an increase in the
present income limits for adj
mission, it has been advised
by the Public Housing Admin
istration that it would be best
to wait pending a complete
study in connection with the
new project which has been
allocated.
The Housing Authority feels
reasonably sure that its APP
plication for increases in in
come limits for continued oc-
cupancy will be approved,
thus making it possible for.
most of the families in ST.
Thomas and st. Croix who
would be ineligible under the
present limits to continue liv
ing in public housing.
The Washington officials
were shocked to learn that
there have been deliberate
attempts from certain sourc-
es, particularly on the island
of st. Thomas, to create an
impression among families
that public housing is intend
ed to serve, that the regu-
lation designed to insure the
health, safety and peace of
tenant families were too rigid.
1t was pointed out that the
Conditions of Occupancy
which tenants are required to
observe in the Virgin Islands
projects are less restrictive
than those in effect on the
mainland which are faithful

les concerned.
