"a housing project Of 100 or

Homes development, in Bucks
County just outside the Phlla.
delphia city limits. was cor
sidered a bold experiment in
1855, when the first home was
sold. Since then, according to
the builder, l39 houses in the
project have been occupied.
The ratio Of white families to
Negro families has been main
tained at 55 to As.
The Bucks County project
was built with the financial
backing of George Otto, a lead
ing Philadelphia Quaker. and
more than so other private in
vestors. Since 1855. three other
interIacial communities have
been constructed by Mr.. Mil
gram and his associates. Two
of these are in the Princeton
area. The third, Greenbelt
Knolls, is in Philadelphia.
Montgomery Favored
In choosing nearby Maryland
as the most. favorable location
for the integrated development.
officials of the Milgram firm
said that Montgomery County
appears to be the type of for
ward+looking area" suitable for
such a project, although they
have not ruled out Prince

Negro occupancy in their

er said, has been maintained
at approximately 33 per cent.
