Town To Buy Itself From Government
Winfield New Jersey, a wartime boom town of about 700 families, will be allowed to purchase its housing from the federal government for 1.35 million dollars on a 45 year mortgage. The plan would cost each family under 2000 dollars. Residents have rented 700 single to four unit houses at roughly 30 dollars a month from the Federal Housing Authority, created in 1941 to house wartime workers near Linden and New York. The community now has about 3000 residents.
