Though the municipality of Tunisia and the local Jewish community are still involved in litigation to clear the title to a Jewish cemetery here, work has already begun on the construction of a playground which the city is building on the site of the cemetery.

Work has progressed to such a point that Premier Habib Bourguiba paid a ceremonial visit of inspection to the site last week. However, both ownership and future status of the tract is still in dispute. The case is before a Tunisian court.
