This all-Jewish city, thronged with 9,500 refugees from Jaffa and its suburbs, yesterday decided to construct 1,000 homes in the southern section of Tel Aviv to house them.
The decision was taken at a conference of the municipal council and representatives of the Jewish National Council and the Jewish Agency for Palestine.
A campaign to raise $1,000,000 for construction of the homes was decided upon. The homes are intended for those refugees who formerly lived in the mixed-population sections of Jaffa and who consequently were the severest sufferers at the hands of the Arab rioters.
Attending the conference were Henrietta Szold, Eliezer Kaplan, of the Jewish Agency, and Eliahu Berligne, of the Jewish National Council.
