1Opinion of the CourtGibson, C. J.
The trial court found that defendants, husband and wife, owners of various housing and rental units known as the Nixon Apartments, refused, in January 1960, to rent one of the units to plaintiffs, who are Negroes, solely because of their color and race. It was stipulated that the property constituted publicly assisted housing accommodations within the meaning of the Hawkins Act. (Health & Saf. Code, §§ 35700-35741, added in 1959.) Defendants have appealed from a judgment awarding damages to plaintiffs.
