HOUSING ACTION URGED
MANY PENINSULA HOMES READY BUT YOU MUST ACT NOW
TSL, April 14, - The necessity of early action by those employees planning to move to the Peninsula was emphasized this week by O.C. SAN-TOFF, Procurement Officer and director of the Housing Bureau.

More than 300homes are now available - some for sale and some to lease or rent. A few of those now ready or to be ready soon, are illustrated in this issue of TRANSPACIFIC. But they won’t be available indefinitely, as Santoff % points out.
