Granger Resettlement Project Seen Worthwhile By Priest
Father Ligutti of Granger praised the resettlement project as fundamentally sound and socially uplifting. He noted corrections of past mistakes and described a gradually self-governing community with 51 housing tracts on 224 acres. Families face 30 year loans at 3 percent, with outside income needed and tax-free government ownership.
