He reported that the houses, built during the war for Negro war workers, were set on stilts and had tin chimneys, “This is contrary to city and state building codes and will have to be corrected during the process of selling,” Mr. Evans told the etvic league, He also recommended that present occupants be given initial opportunity to purchase the units and that Negro veterans receive second choice. Appraisals on the dwellingg have not been completed. According to regulations established when the units were first erected by FPHA, the units were either to be destroyed two years after the war or sold under community consent; Mr. Evans said. Because of the present housing shortage, the civic league agreed to the recommendations made by the mayor's committee to retain the demountable houses.
