Several answers from he Public Housing Authority on hether additional public housing s a local policy matter under con rod of Columbia Housing Author ty were given in the telegram. It stated that sale to the Uni eritv does not "require that an qual number of units be con t ruet ed elsewhere in the city," ut that any decision to sell would >te subject to apiproval by the ede(ral agency. In 1953, 48 units were sold to he tUniversity for $370,000. At hat time the remaining portion vas appraised1 at $350,000, the alt price now under consideration. Higher Price Cost of constructing 74 units iow would be almost twice the 350Mt)O price on University Ter ate. with no increase in the num 'er of facilities, Attorney Robin on pointed out.
