Slum clearance plan targets three housing sites
The slum clearance sub committee proposes acquiring 308 acres in three tracts at 67th Street and 37th Avenue known as the DuPuis Dairy, between 66th and 75th Streets and 21st to 24th Avenues, and 54th Street and 27th Avenues to provide low cost housing for displaced residents. Commissioner Hugh Peters backs the plan, but warns the three sites may not fully solve the problem. The Miami Times urges residents to pressure lawmakers against cutting public housing units, urging letters to Congressman Lantaff and Senator Smathers.
