$500. 900 IN FEDERAL FUNDS IS
MARKED FOR SPARTANBURG
SLIJM CLEARANCE PROJECT
Chairman OF Housing Au-
thority There Advised
OF Federal Step
SPARTANBURG. s. c.. May 81

SPARTANBURG. s. c., May q
I-Spartanburg's drive tor the eli
mination of slum and tenement
districts and the general better
m .nt Of housing conditions
throughout the city was advanc-
ed materially yesterday, as the
Spartanburg Housing authority
was notified that $S00,OOO in fed,
eral funds had been earmarked
for a "slums-clearance" project
here.
Formal notification of the ear
marking of nearly one-million dol
lars for use in improving business
conditions here Wer ereceiVed
from Nathan straus, administra-
tor of the United States Housing
authority in Washington, by w.
ID. Deck" Hull, chairman of the
Spartanburg authority.
In earmarking 100000 for use
by the Spartanburg authority, the
national body placed its approval
on preliminary plans for Sums
clearance here, and also gave its
official recognition of the fact
that such a program was needed
here.
Mr.. Hull pointed out last night
that the earmarking of the $780,
600 did not mean that such an
amount had been allotted to the
civ for rehousing purposes, but
that the amount would be held for
limited time pending a formal
application by the Spartanburg
body for a loan contract.
The loan contract, in turn,
must meet the approval of Presl-
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt, usual
ly given upon the recommendation
of Administrator Straus. Should
the loan contact meet presiden-
tial approval, then 100000 will
be allotted Spartanburg on long
term loan basis, to be repaid from
rentals.
Although a number of tentative
localities for projects have been
considered by the Spartanburg
housing authority, no specific To-
cality has as yet been named, Mr..
Hull said. However, a meeting
of the authority probably will be
called early next week, when
plans for a survey preliminary to
definite plans will be completed,
it was stated.
Mr.. Hull explained that definite
plans fora "slums-clearance" prof.
ect must accompany the formal
application for a loan contract,
The preliminary application,
submitted some time ago, was ac-
companied only by statistics cit
ing Spartanburg's need of re-
housing program, it was said:
