More Plans Made In Low Rent Housing Project For Negroes An important step toward the realization of a low-rent hous ing project for low-income Ne gro families was made by the Housing Authority of the City of Durham with the tent^tivo selection of a site in the Colle"e View property in the south eastern part of the city.
