III. S>IECOND fl" BltOJECC'IY' Mr. Nei igh gave a report on the meeting with the School Board and the Park Board which he and Mr. Baer attended on May 9. The Linden School Project was discussed and both Boards weighed the advantages, and disadvantages of financing the project with and without federal aid. The Board members felt that they would need fifteen acres, preferably north of the South Shore tracks on Linden Avenue and the project should also be undertaken with federal aid. It was the opinion of the Board mem- bers that the delay of one or two years would not be a considered difference as compared to the cost of the project if undertaken by the Civil City alone. The Commission agreed that the Linden area should be worked on next, but planning decisions will be delayed until the Housing Authority has selected its next site. Mrs. Curtis gave a report on discussions regarding the site of a second low -rent public housing project and extended an invitation to the Commis- sioners to join the Housing Authority on a tour of three proposed sites to be conducted within a week or ten days. Mrs. Curtis will inform the Com - missioners of a definite date set for the tour. IV.
