The Region : Homeless March Canceled

A planned march on nearby City Hall by homeless people camping in Tent City II was canceled after they were granted permission by the state to remain on the site of the old State Building on 1st Street until Jan. 3. Under the original agreement, Tent City--a 5,000-square-foot circus tent and several smaller tents--were to be removed by 5 p.m. today. After receiving word of the extension, Tent City II organizer Ted Hayes suggested that the downtown site be used as a reception center for the homeless at least until 1988, when the block will be used for construction of a 20-story office building.
