Chester clergymen accuse mayor of ignoring them
A group of Chester clergy from the Chester and Vicinity Ministerium accuse Mayor Joseph F. Battle of ignoring their concerns on minority unemployment housing and city crisis measures. Battle defends himself saying he is overwhelmed by emergency meetings and ongoing recovery efforts. He notes minority contracting gains and crowds out private housing, while CRA works on a 1980s housing plan funded by federal sources.
