adequately protecting the area or areas in which the project  is  to  be
undertaken, against future uses likely to depreciate unduly the value of
such project;
(c)  The estimated revenues, including any governmental grants, of the
project or part for which such loan is to be made will be sufficient  to
cover  all probable costs of operation and maintenance, of fixed charges
and operating and depreciation reserves;

requirements  of  this  and  all other laws applicable thereto, assuring
adequate light, air, sanitation and fire protection;

project; stating the manner in which such spaces  are  provided  or  are
proposed to be within the project or near thereto;

therefor has been made, listing such facilities;
(g) The occupants of the proposed  housing  accommodations  will  have
convenient access to probable places of employment;
(h)  That an adequate number of dwelling units especially designed for
the convenience and safety of aged persons as  may  be  defined  by  the
commissioner  shall be provided where a survey of the community in which
the project is located indicates a need  therefor,  and  that  provision
will be made to insure that such aged persons shall have priority in the
rental thereof. Where all, or substantially all of the dwelling units in
a  project  have been especially designed for the convenience and safety
of aged persons, the  finding  required  under  paragraph  (f)  of  this
subdivision need not be made.
(i)  an  adequate number of dwelling units especially designed for the
convenience and safety of handicapped persons as may be defined  by  the
commissioner  shall be provided where a survey of the community in which
the project is located indicates a need therefor, that provision will be
made to insure that such handicapped persons shall have priority in  the
rental   thereof,   and   that  a  project  is  designed  to  facilitate
unobstructed ingress to and egress from a project.

contained  except  upon  proof  of  fraud  or  wilful misfeasance by the
commissioner.

  comptroller. Such loan shall be repaid in equal annual installments over
  or within a period of fifty years, but in no case to exceed the probable
  life of the buildings and improvements of the project or part thereof to
  which  the  proceeds thereof are to be applied. The probable life of the
  buildings and improvements of such projects is hereby determined  to  be
  fifty  years.  Each  installment  shall  equal the amount payable by the
  state for moneys borrowed for the loan and shall be paid not later  than
  five days before each such payment by the state is required.
2.  The  loan  contract  shall  provide  that  upon  any  date when an
  installment of principal shall become due and payable the authority  may
  anticipate  any  installment which would otherwise thereafter become due
  and payable. In the case of loans to municipalities, the  loan  contract
  may contain such a provision.
3.  Should  the  authority  or  municipality  fail  to make payment of
  interest or principal upon any  due  date,  the  state  comptroller  may
  deduct and retain from any moneys otherwise payable by the state to such
  authority or municipality, the amount of such interest and principal and
  credit such authority or municipality with the amount of such deduction.

  and credited to the general fund for the reduction of taxation  or  into
  the  general  or  other  fund  available  for  current  expenses of such
  municipality. No other payment shall be charged  to  such  account.  The
  provisions  of  section  one  hundred  eleven  of  this chapter shall be

  district,  a  fire  alarm  district,  a fire district, a fire protection
  district, or an improvement district  may,  upon  such  terms,  with  or
  without   consideration,   as   the   local  legislative  body  of  such
  municipality or the governing body of such district may deem  advisable,
  render  or  contract to render services to an authority, housing company
  or a government, or provide  and  maintain  parks,  sewerage,  or  other
  facilities  adjacent  to or in connection with a project. A municipality
  or a district hereinabove described  may  also  render  or  contract  to
  render  such  services and to provide such facilities in connection with
  projects located outside its respective territorial boundaries upon such
  terms and consideration as shall, in  the  determination  of  the  local
  legislative  body  of  such  municipality  or the governing body of such
  district, which  determination  shall  be  conclusive,  compensate  such
  municipality  or  district  for the cost of furnishing such services and
  facilities.  A  municipality  may  enter  into  an  agreement  with   an
  authority,  housing company or a government, upon such terms as it shall
  determine, with or without compensation, to open, pave,  install,  close
  or  change  the grade of streets, roads, roadways, alleys, sidewalks, or
  other places, to change the municipal map,  to  plan,  replan,  zone  or
  rezone  any section of the municipality. In connection with the exercise
  of this power a municipality may,  if  it  deems  advisable,  incur  the
  entire  expense  of  any  such  public  improvements  located within its
  territorial boundaries  without  assessment  against  abutting  property
  owners,  or  contract with an authority upon such terms, with or without
  consideration, as it may deem advisable, with respect to the exercise by
  the municipality or government of its powers  relating  to  the  repair,
  closing  or  demolition  of  unsafe, insanitary, or unfit dwellings, and
  with respect to aid and cooperation by the municipality or government in
  the planning, undertaking, construction or operation of projects.
