The report describes a Mexican family in Wayne township using a coal bin as shelter. Township trustees plan to relocate them to the shelter house while seeking other accommodations. OPA rent director John E Williams called Gomez's tale incomprehensible as a fellow Mexican offered to rent the coal bin for 40 dollars monthly. The family claimed they were not cold, living beside the furnace with a pile of coal removed from their home.
