local authority is complying with the city, state
and federal laws under which the project is OPP
Grated
''Yescr Terrace was built and is operated
for Seattle families who can not afford to rent
decent private housing Ross explained. ITO
allow ovcr-income families to remain in the
Terrace would be defeating the purpose of low

the housing need of those who can least afford

The Seattle Real Estate Board and the So

in the city Ross said.
a letter to each ovcr-incJmc family was
sent today asking them to make every effort
to find other housing as soon as possible. FOL
lowing up this initial approach, Ross explained,
the Authority will notify 10 or more families
each month that they must move within SIX
months II at the end of that time they have
not moved, they VIII ne cNftcd, he stated
"Thosc with the highest incomes according

During the war; Ross explained "the
income ceiling on Yeslcr Terrace was raised to
accomodate war workers. At wars end the
ceiling was lowered in Keeping with the aims
of Il low-rent project but the extreme shortage
of housing since then dictated Il policy of gong

the impact of aiding homcssekers to the present
