annual rental for the l9-acre
site based on q land value of
So per square foot. This was so
cents a foot higher than the
$3.50 value already agreed upon
with Mr.. zeckendorf, but cast
sufhcient question to force RIA
to review its earlier agreement.
At q meeting today, the RIA
Board of Directors voted to
give Mr.. Zeckendorf the con-
tract. but to increase the rental
price If the Federal Housing
Administration determines that
the land is worth more than
$3.50 q foot.
ZeckendOrf Agrees
FILA will make this appraisal
as q part Of its consideration
Of a mortgage insurance appli-
cation already filed by Mr..
Zeckendorf for the project.
Mr.. Zeckendorf. it was an
nounced, agreed by telephone
from New York just before the
meeting to abide by this de-
cision and to pay higher rental
if the FILA appraisal did not
exceed 50 a foot. If the FILA
figure hits $3.50 or lower, the
value will remain at $3.50.
In addition. the RIA agreed
to follow suggestions raised at
last weeks hearing to clarity
contract provisions which could
have given the developer a
windfall in case he defaulted in
later years.
Local Firms Backed
Andrew Parker, acting RIA
chairman. said he felt these
procedures certainly answer
all the questions that were
raised eft the hearing"
RIA Director John r. Scar
les. jr.. said he also told Mr.. /
zeckendorf the RIA wanted !
local firms to be used to the
fullest extent in the Southwest

He said the New York tycoon
said he would farm the work /
out either to a local general
contractor or to local subcon-
tractors and that he also would
give Washington financing
agencies the first opportunity
to participate in money aspects
Of the project.
Await Agency Approval
Mr.. Searles said that the con-
tract, with the agreed upon
provisions. could be signed as
soon as final approval is granted
by the Federal Housing and
Home Finance Agency. He said
he hoped that would be in about
three weeks. FHHA is the
parent agency of FILA.
In another action, the board
approved the award Of a six
month contract to the Wash
