Israel to Put Up
4 New Cities
TEL AVIV — (Special) —In a
move to ease the housing short-
age, the Israeli government has
decided to build four entirely
new' cities in Galilee, bordering
on Syria and Lebanon in the
north.
It is expected that 30,000
homes will be put up within less
than six months at a cost of
$30,000. Ten thousand newcomers
will be moved to each of the
cities with the expectation that
they will shortly house 100,000
altogether.
A building project for Safed,
Tiberias and Herzlia is also in
prospect.
