‘Communities May Purchase $35,000,000 Projects As Booms Fail.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13 (U. PJ). —The Government disclosed plans today to pass on to community ownership of its three model “Towns of the Future’—Greenbelt, Green- | hills and Greendale. | Plans expected to be completed | soon, call for sale of the three com- | munities to homestead associations formed by residents. Community ownership—rather than private— | will replace Government ownership. | The three communities represent lan initial Government investment lof $35,000,000. Greenbelt, near | Washington, cost $13,394,406; Green- | hills, at Cincinnati, cost $11.508.001, (and Greendale, at Milwaukee, Wis, (cost $10,113,404. | The projects were undertaken to | “prove the practicability” of model {homes for low-income, white-collar |workers and induce private con[struction to expand in that field.

As the Air Ministry put it: “The last raid of the day was also large scale. Soon after teatime about 50 bombers appeared off the Kentish coast with an escort of 150 fighters stretched out behind and above them, 30 at a time, to a height of nearly five miles.” But the British had their revenge, to wit: “Once again British fighters took a heavy toll, 17 of the enemy being destroyed.”
