Many applicants viewed the project for the first time, pictur- ing the arrangement of furniture and equipment in clean, modern. up-to-date homes. Many of our most progressive | citizens were amazed and well pleased with the comfortable and sanitary arrangement of these homes, where rents will range from $8.40 to $2340 per month, including electricity, we ter, and garbage disposal; rents being based entirely on family inoome. Members of the Key West Housing Authority staff were busy answering questions of ap- plicants and prospective tenants, as well as visitors who seemed proud of the effort of the decal Housing Authority in co-operat- ing with the United States Hous- ing Authority in providing there, standard homes for “Key West's colored people. An appleation office is open each day, Monday through Sat- urday, from 1 to 5 o'clock in the afternoon, when applications are being received for the homes now nearing completion. Another opportunity will be given the public next Sunday from 2 to 4 o'clock im the after- noon to visit this very much needed housing project fer the local colored people.
