CITIZEN RECEIVES TELE-
GRAMS THIS MORNING
FROM WASHINGTON
OFFICIALS

President Roosevelt today at
Washington approved a loan
contract making funds available
for the Key West low rental
housing project. A prediction
that the President would sign the
contract. was carried in The Ciii-
zen Wednesday.
This action removed the last
federal obstacle confronting a
project that may involve an ex-
penditure of upwards of 100000,
although the federal contract
provides that the u. S. Housing
Authority may loan the Key
West Housing Authority a total
of $650,000.
The sum mentioned in the
document approved by the Presi-
dent represents 80 per cent of
the estimated cost of a project
in which the unit cost of the
220 dwellings involved has been
directed to be reduced. However,
the local housing authority be-
lieveS the original estimate of
the cost of the work may be
forthcoming if the lower cost
suggested by federal agencies
cannot be met.
Under the approved project
the Key West housing authority
will put up 10 per cent of the
estimated cost of the projeet, If
the u. S. housing authority ad-
vances $650,0OO this means that
the Key West authority would
have to advance $4,000, to bring
the total outlay up to $715,OOO.
Part of the sponsorship fund
will be providing sewer and
water facilities to the project.
Another part of the 10 per cent
that must be advanced by the
Key West authority may be in
the abatement of taxes on the
property. If other cash is needed
the Key West authority would
have power to issue bonds locally
to raise it.
Next step that must be taken
by the Key West authority with
the approval of the u S. housing
authority is advertising for bids
from contractors to put up the
220 dwelling units provided in
the plans.
) AS reported previously in The
Citizen, there will be 1876 dwell
ling units for white families on
a site on Trumbo section adj
iacent to the new naval seaplane
base. This site is towards Grin
nell street from the naval sea-
plane base. The "a units for
colored families will be erected
near Fort Taylor reservation in
vicinity of the foot of Division
street.
These units become available
to families earning less than ap-
proximately $50 d month. Selec-
ton of the families will be local
matter, final decision to rest
with the housing authority. Each

To Whom 1t May Concern

Several years ago, Clarence
Pierce, as agent, loaned for my
wife to T. Jenkins Curry, two
thousand dollars, which was Sc
cured by real estate. My wife
later became dissatisfied with
the security and 1 requested Mr..
Curry to give security on some
other property and he gave us a
deed to a property which was
acceptable to us. The property
owned back taxes of $4,000,
which I paid and since, Mr.. Curry
has paid to me $4,000 of this tax
item know that Mr.. Curry
sustained a loss to accommodate
me, for he later sold the property
for $1,000. No one could be more
fair than Mr., Curry and l have
never had any unpleasantness
whatsoever with him.

Relics Found In Cornerstone
Of Luther Memorial BUILDING

The first building was finish
ed in 1883 and burned in 1893.
The second building whi CHI was
built in 1894 gave the community
a good secondary school open to
all denominations.
The new religious building to be
erected in its place will consist of
two stories and a basement. Thirty
classrooms will give religious
teaching to the whole community
regardless of denomination. On the
first floor will be large assembly
room. The basement will have a
stage for religious plays and mo-
ton pictures. Power tools will also
be installed in the basement in or
der that the pupils may learn hand
crafts. The entire work will be
departmentalized.
The cornerstone of the new build
ing will be laid sometime in the
spring. At that time the church
literature, newspapers and coins
removed from the old cornerstone
will be replaced. Until then the
articles will be on display in the
Rev. Walter B. Freed's study at
IL North Sixth street. l
