SUGGEST NAMES
TO DESIGNATE !
HOUSING UNITS
DIRECTOR OF LOCAL AU-
THORITY CLARIFIES INFoR.
NATION ON LOAN CON
TRACT TERMS

Events political in Key West
haven't kept many residents from
giving thought to the coming
construction of two Housing Au-
thority projects and to the sug-
geStion contained in The Citizen
of Tuesday that names for the
projects be sent in for transmits
sion, if found suitable by the To-
cal authority, to Washington.
One resident suggested two
names, one for the white units, a
person, and one for the colored
units. a location.
For the 136-unit white project,
this person suggests Henry NJ
Flagler Houses. For the colored
project of "a units. the name of
CayO HueSO Houses was Sug-
geSted.
The local authority desires that
names be turned in by Saturday
of this week, at which time. it
was stated, best names along
with additional engineering in
formation on the project would
be sent to the USHA in Washing
ton. As stated, the names are TO
be sent to The Citizen.
In discussing the project fur
Their with Wallace B. Kirke. di-
rector of the Key West Housing
Authority. today, The Citizen
discovered these factors in con-
nection with the loan contract
now on hand, which needed ex-
planning in the light of misin-
depreciation in Tuesdays article.
Approximate cost of the units
now planned and provided for
at a maximum is an average So
300 for the two projects. covering
complete development costs.
Of that amount. nearly $500
per unit is for actual building
construction costs. The balance,
or about $1,000 per unit. will be
employed for the balance of the
development cost, such as streets.
sidewalks, utilities, water supply.
demolition work, cost of land.
landscaping. architect, engineers
and administration fees, carrying
charges during construction pc
Rod of about IS months. and
other costs
Of worthy notice is the fact
that if allowance is made for ex-
ira cost of additional water sup
ply and extra cost of getting ma
terials to the two sites. the Key
West Housing projects will be the
lOwest-cost of any now built on
continental United States.
This fact serves to illustrate
the desire of the USHA to pro-
vide a maximum number of hous-
ing units for a maximum number
of people.
