is UNOFFICIAL.
Lake Co. Men Get Intelligence
from Washington That
Causes Them TO
Lose Hope.

Although the announcement can
not officially be made at this time
yet it is understood by men who
are in close touch with state and
federal authorities that there will
be no funds for this county applica-
bic for loans to any individual, firm
or corporation for the construction
of houses for working men employ
ed on war contracts or otherwise.
1t is said that all OF the money
appropriated by congress is ex-
pected to be used by the govern
ment for houses erected by the
Emergency Fleet Corporation and
subsidiary corporations.
WHAT o. 6. MONEY IS FOR
While few of the public men in this
county have been quite hopeful that the
region would be able to obtain a portion
Of the appropriation because of the inn
portance Of the work that the factories
are doing, yet some have felt that the
original appropriation was not designed
TO cover cases like those that exist here.
Where communities are well organized.
it is probable that the government viii
hold those communities responsible for
the construction Of enough homes 10
house their working men. The bill as
originally passed was intended to pro-
vide funds for the construction Of
homes is isolated communities selected
by the government for special phases Of
war work.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE NOW:
Whether or not this information
comes with sufficient directness to justi-
fy the cessation of efforts being made
to call general meeting of representa-
tives of the various commercial organi-
cations in Lake county to take up ways
and means that may be utilized to Sc
cure the maximum influence at Wash
ington is not known. Many of the
leaders. however. have already lost hope
of securing assistance from the federal
government in this matter and at the
present time it looks as If the movement
would be dropped and that the energy OF
the promoters would be utilized in more
strenuous efforts to organize their home
communities.
