Veterans
Housing
Must Go
Planning Commission
Tells Council Units
To Be Removed by '53

The Veterans Housing Project
in Sligo Creek Park appears DOOM
ed today with the Maryland Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission refusing to withdraw
its demand that the 1877 units be
removed.
The commission, in answer to
letter from the council, said It
would not change the deadline for
the clearing of the area for park
land expansion by October, 1858.
The council had asked the com
mission to defer it's request until
the rent control hearing held two
weeks ago determined whether a
housing shortage existed in the
county.
Housing Shortage
The council later voted to ex-
tend controls stating there was a
substantial shortage of rental
housing in the county. Council
members Tuesday expressed dis
appointment that the commission
had not turned up any facts to
supports it claim the housing short
age had been somewhat ahated
since establishment of the project
some five years ago.
Some council members have in
dicated they would like to study
further the advisability of main
tanning the project to house veter-
ans whose incomes make it diff
cult for them to find suitable apart
ments for their families. But the
county attorney has informed the
council it has no recourse if the
planning commission insists upon
the removal of the project.
Relocation Possible
There were indications this week
the council may study the possibi-
lily of relocating the project. The
cost of such an operation, however,
could be prohibitive, some obser-
vors have noted. Besides, they
say, the county has spent great
deal of time, planning and money
in making the project one which
stands out as a temporary housing
unit in the area.
If the council is forced to move
out the veterans, County Manager
Irving G. McNayr has promised
to set up some arrangement for
aiding the families to find suitable
Accommodations at prices they can
afford.
