Work on the new Amos Washington subdivision in Ypsilanti is progressing rapidly, with the first families expected to move into some of the three-bedroom homes before August 1. About 15 of the 22 houses planned are already built (left and center). The new homes, designed for purchase by Negro families with FHA or GI financing, are laid out along a new street--Burton Ct.--running north from Harriet St. and just opposite Harriet Elementary School.
