Council To Decide Public Housing Issue At Meeting Tuesday Night The Evidence FAIRFIELD, Conn. Police who found a shoe at a burglarized service station later arrested the 15-year-oid culprit whom I spotted driving a truck with a bare fool dangling cut a window. The City Council must decide tomorrow night whether the already-approved 45 units of public housing shall be located adjacent to the Lugonia Homes or whether another location should be selected.

The decision has been left! strictly up to the council since the planning commission deadlocked on the issue April 23 and sent the county housing authority request for site approval to the council "without a recommendation." The vote was 3-3 with the chairman absent. In his report to the council, City Manager Fred Workman points out that the 45 units have already been approved by a prior coupcil after a full and complete hearing and that "the only ques tion at this moment, is (whether) this proposed' location (is) the proper one." He noted that Glenn Pry, manager of the Redlands public housing units has submitted a supplemental report listing nine basic reasons why the site should be approved, mostly pertaining to the necessity for demolishin; Texonia Village this year. Mr. Pry points out in his report that "if the proposed site is not approved, approximately seven months will be required to bring another site to city approval stage." Some 40 to 50 families live in Texonia Village and the city is required by law to close the unit 1 in 1957. Mr.

Pry states that "the housing authority is not permitted to continue the operation of Texonia Village beyond the legal life of the village." Objections to the location of approximately 10 acres east of Lugonia Homes on Lugonia avenue before the planning commjs sion came from several persons who said the development was too far out of town to benefit the aged. This was directed to Housing Authority George Black's prior statement that he hoped the council would approve an ad ditional 20 units of public housing for the aged at a later date. Other objections came from resentatives of the Eadington Fruit company who maintained the development would depreciate their property holdings in the area. In his report today, Mr. Workman states that selection "of some other site away from existing public housing would indeed have an influence on the surrounding area.

We believe that the proposed location would not be de- raded, but rather would be benefited by these new units." He notes that both Simon Eisner, city planning consultant from Los Angeles, and Sid Conner, planning director, have indicated that "this is the desirable location." 16 Day Pheasant Season Urged A sixteen-day pheasant season from November 16 through December 1 has been proposed for adoption in Sacramento May 31 by the California Fish and Game Commission as it announced its determinations this week.
