authorities, and might be inside

Other members of the council
were invited by Cain 10 submit
names for consideration In select
ing the housing commission. Cain
did not disclose who he has already
in mind, though he said he already
had jotied down 10 names.
Once the commission has been |
appointed by the mayor. all re-
sponsibility devolves upon its
members and the council has no
further authority. except as il may
be purely advisory. Cain said com. /!
mission members could be removed |
by the mayor for cause.
All financing of the entire prof. |
ect is TO be done with federal |
money, Cain pointed out. though |
he said he learned at Washington
that no funds are now available /
that have not already been COM
mitted to other projects.
MAY BE DIVERTED
The situation is this. however,
the mayor said. When our situ-
alton is surveyed and presented TO
the government, and the emer-
geney need is shown. funds now
ear-marked for other projects may
quickly be diverted to ours. Funds
would be taken from some prof.
ects that are slow and using as
fast as they should the funds set
aside for them
Local labor and local materials
would be used, he told the council.
There are some elements Of the
existing law which may be
changed by this congress to fit
changing conditions.
