The Political Action
Committee of the Raleigh
Citizens Association is
expected lo project a
projfram of action for South
Raleigh at its meeting at 8
p.m. Thursday at the

pressing community needs
Wray, who came to Raleigh
two months ago from the
Georgia State University’s
Urban Planning department,
said. “The problem of getting
conventional loans for marginal
home owners with property in
South Raleigh is acute."
He said residents of the area
are in need of community based
industry to move out of the
cycle of poverty
Carson pointed out that Wake
'bounty and the City of Raleigh
are getting income that could be
diverted into the channels that
would help low income citizens
In addition to the revenue
shared funds, Carson said the
October 21. 1971 bond referen
dum made some $21 million
available to the City of Raleigh.
Money coming into the city
now is being used largely to help
local developers and is not
