C., March 29.—A total of $3,400,000 has been | pied set aside by the federal govern- ment for Florida cities to use in ridding themselves of slums and blighted areas and the construc- tion of low-rent homes for small- jincome sham dwellers, Tampa heads the list with an earmarking for $1,500,000. Jack- sonville has $1,000,000 carmarked. and $900,000 has been set aside for St. Petersburg. ‘These’ funds are part of $500,000,000 available for loans to local communities during the initial three years of the government’s long-range slum-clearance drive provided for in the Wagner-Steagall Housing Act Miami. Oranldo and Sarasota have applied to Nathan Straus. administrator of the United States Housing Authority, for earmarking of funds for their slum-clearance and low-rer using projects. It is expecte will be set aside for these cities shortly. By its unusual activity, Florida tab! ed an unique record t every one of its Z authorities—six in all— ted to share in the ber of the housing program. The proven success of the gov- two low-cost housing in Florida is credited projects generally with having intensified interest in the government's long- range slum-clearance program. Under the new program provid- ed for in the United States Hou: ing Act the United States Housing Authority lends to local housing authorities up to ninety percent of development cost of a project, and makes an annual contribu- tion to assure that rents will re main within the reach of low come families. Jacksonville already has Dur- keeville, one of the low-rent housing projects built by the gov- “rnment to house slum dwellers. It was built at a cost of $943,000.

I noticed the rags that they had bound upon the worst of their we unds, and the flies that had fixed themselves upon the lesser wounds which they had not bandaged. I managed to raise myself a little, bracing a shoulder against a thwart. | A murmur ran along my ban-/} kong. and presently was raised to a-call to the other praus. “The Tuan Darah! He is awake! The Tuan Darah is awake!” | A shiver ran over me. and this time it was not the shiver of a} disease chill.

I was worrying desperately now as to what had happened at Bal- ingong: I could not explain Clyde's failure to send me support. He would got let me simply disappear into the jungle for this length of time without doing something. But when we reached the mouth of the Tomarrup without meeting praus from Balingong, we knew that our support from Clyde had either been destroyed or had not been sent. There was only one reason I could think of for Clyde's failure t nd aid. If he had sent Ss WY was because igen had struck in some other Quagter with tremendous effect.
