Policy. Release Says
The Virgin Islands Housing
& Redevelopment Authority
at its Annual meeting held on
Friday, October 81, 1855,
amended its Occupancy Pol
icy to provide for rent charges
based on Annual Re-examina-
ton. Up to the present time,
upward or downward rent re-
visions were made based on
Interim R-edeterminations Of
family income. This policy re
quired all families to report
substantial increases or de-
creases in income, in order
that the rent may be adjusted
accordingly.
The interim redetermina-
ton policy was first adopted
due to the fact that the in
comes Of many families fIuc-
tuate because of seasonal en-
ployment. However, 4 study
conducted over a period of
many months revealed that de
creases in income are SO few,
that it would be a decided adj,
vantage for q large majority
Of families to have rents bas-
ed on Annual m
only.
It is expected that this new
policy will reduce considera-
bly, the inconvenience which
was experienced by tenant
families and their employers
as a result of frequent income
and rent changes.
The Housing Act permits a

rent determination policy i
chooses.

There was lot of excitement
| in town last week over a novel
proposition, informally submitted
Ito the FEC, on the question Of
UHF stations.
In brief, the proposition. ex-
planned by John H. Mullaney,
consulting engineer. outlined a
plan that could be adopted with
cut rule making which would
temporarily solve the dilemma
of stations attempting to operate
in the UHF belt. (All Washing
ton stations are in the VHF
band).
1t is Mullaney's contention
that 200 more stations could be
accommodated on WIFI, without
interfering with any Of the exist
ing stations! So the falling UHF
stations would simply shift to
WIFI.
The commission, of course. is
now faced with the problem of
de- intermixture and it is doubt
full if it could get around to Null
laney's plan. which was pre-
sented by the law firm Of WEIGH.

How would it apply to the

Unfortunately, we would get
only one more WIFI station, and
since there are a number Of
groups interested in going on

fight before the FEC.
