Vets Housing
Units Open
In County

The first 90 units of the emer-
Pency veterans housing project in
Sligo Creek Park will be opened
this week, according to an an
nouncement by E. Brooke Lee,
chairman of the Montgomery
County Housing Authority. Other
units are expected to open in
groups during the next ten weeks.
The project has been under con-
struction since the later part of
April. Lee said the Federal
Public Housing Authority has fur
rished the buildings, moved them
and placed them in their new loca-
tions and prepared them for oc-
cupation. The Federal Govern
ment is also furnishing the heat
ing, cooking and other equipment
and providing rental furniture for
800 of the living units. The Coun-
w Commissioners have furnished
the money to bring water, sewer
and electrical service to the living
units and to provide parking space
for the units that face Sligo Park
Drive.
Six hundred and ninety veterans
have made application for family
living quarters in the 1877 units in
the Sligo Valley project. The first
priority will be given to the fami-
lies of veterans VINO entered SER
vice from Montgomery County
ard who have returned to the
county, and whose present housing
situation meets the definition Of
distressed. Approximately 300
county veterans are within this
Classification.
The second priority will be
given out-of -county veterans who
fulfill the same requirements.
The County Housing Authority
also hopes to place 16 additional
apartment units and 80 additional
Il ailer units on the Sligo Valley
site this year. The units already
in place or contracted for with
F'PHA include 1877 units in build
ings and 20 trailers.
Lee said that the veterans
housing projects at the Washing
ton Missionary College and those
for Negroes at Linden are expect
ed to be ready for occupancy this
month.

Highway accidents still occur
every day in the metropolitan
area. Drivers might take les

the disabled veterans who drive
cars by means of special manual
controls the safest drivers on the
