Rockville MAY
Seek Federal
Housing Aid

A resolution of Rockville's
Mayor and Council last week
paved the way for possible fed
eral aid to the city in cleaning
up its Stun areas by declaring
the existence of these areas and
the inability of private enterprise
} to relieve them.
City Manager John Markland
who recommended the resolution
as the first step towards procur
ing funds under the Public Hous
ing Authorities Law, and City
Attorney David Cahoon agreed
that this initial action would not
commit the city to any further
steps
This is the first concrete &C.
ton taken by the Mayor and
Council since the Rockville Hous-
ing Advisory Committee made
its report in September after a
years study of housing condi.
tons in the city.
This report, on which last
weeks resolution was based, re.
vealed that 900 residents of Rock.
vile were living in substandard
housing and that enforcement of
present health and sanitation or.
dinances would cause at least SO
families to Vacate with no hope
of obtaining habitation within the
city limits.
Investigation of the Housing
Committees recommendation
that Rockville apply for urban
renewal aid, Mr. MARYLAND re-
ported last month, had disclosed
the fact that only Baltimore City
was eligible for such aid at pres
emit
The next step to be taken will
be the creation of a housing au
thority for the city of Rockville
