The council, in its dealings with
the C.1VL&H...officials, Insisted that
the houses be priced for sale pur-
poses at the- lowest figure of any
of the 12,000 homes which were

not give a figure that could be

values and the condition of the
homes.
The housing corporation, he said,
was a non-profit plan, and the
only reason that it was willing to
enter Into a new agreement With
the 'Fowl' of Whigharn, was to
make it possible for the Hillcrest
homes to be offered for sale, but
it would protect all tenants, in
that -none would be evicted or

chase, fla assured the council

either the men, or the
