LEASED HOUSING FOR LOW-INCOME FAMILIES APPROVED BY. COUNCIL

by Al Skolnik The city council at its January 22 meeting approved two

resolutions which would permit the Housing Authority of Prince Georges County to operate a leased housing program for low-income families within the Greenbelt city limits, and which would authorize Greenbelt's participation in the pro­gram.

Under recent amendments, the Federal Housing Administration is authorized to provide financial as­sistance to local public housing a­gencies in providing low-rent hous­ing by leasing dwelling units in ex­isting privately-owned structures. In effect, Federal contributions would make up the difference be­tween what the low-income ten­ant can afford to pay for rent and utilities and their actual cost. Be­cause of the special needs of elder­ly, disabled, and handicapped per­sons and families, an additional Federal contribution of up to $120 a year may be made to assist such families.

According to Federal publica­tions, the Prince Georges Housing Authority would initiate the pro­gram by surveying the local ren­tal market to determine the num­ber and rental of available units. The owners of available housing would then be invited to make one or more of their dwellings availa­ble for use of the Housing Author­ity. The leasing program is en­tirely a voluntary one.

Hou · offered in l"f'lmc.as~ to the invitation would be subject to inspection. Rentals must be mod­erate. The rent to the owner can­not be higher than the amount of the Federal assistance plus the amount the low-income family can afford to pay - which is usually between 20 and 25 percent of its income, Tenants must be found eligible by the Authority. In gen­eral, these are families in the low­est income group who cannot af­ford to rent or buy decent private housing.

In another housing matter, the council referred to the city's Ad­visory Planning Board a proposal by the Senior Citizens' Housing Cooperative for construction of 100 units of elderly housing on the 3-acre Lutheran Church property. The organiza.tion is seeking acqui­sition of the property .:Lnd Federal assistance and would like the sup­port of the city in acquiring the ne­cesary zoning.

Stop Signs Turning from housing to road­

ways, the council received a recom­mendation from city manager James Giese for stop signs at the following locations: Legion Drive entering Lakecrest Drive; Lake­side Drive entering Lakecrest Drive; \Vestway entering Lakeside Drive; a 3-way stop at Maplewood and Lakeside Drive; and a 4-way stop at Research and Ridge. Coun­cil will take action at next meet­ing o.n Monday, Feb. 5.

The council voted to accept sev­eral streets in the Boxwood sub­division into the city road system. The street are Periwinkle Court, almost all of Lynbrook court, ap­proximately half of Rosewood Drive, a very sho1·t, small portion of Lastne1· Lane at its intersection with the north exit of Rosewood Drive, and the cul de sac of Tam­erisk Court. These streets were satisfactorily completed by a bond­ing company which took over the work after Country Estates (Stan­ley Schultz), to whom the street perrrtits were given, went bankrupt.

Jwc1·eation The council received a series of

reports of the Park and Recreation Advisory Board. It agreed with the Board to request the !'l'ational Park Service to include a jogging trail in its de,'elopment plans for the Greenbelt Regional Park. It

also agreed with the Board that no action be taken on the request of the Aquatic Booster Club for an indoor swimming pool until the completion of the Recreation Ad­visory Board's comprehensive stu­dy of recreational needs in the city.

On the suggestion of the PRAB that certain streets, sidewalks, and other hillside be designated as sled­ding areas, the council objected to blocking off of streets for this purpose because of the need for keeping streets clear for fire lanes, hecause of problems for snow re­moval crews, and because af haz­ards to safety of children. How­ever, Giese was asked to look into the possibility of designatng off­street sledding areas.

The la.st report of the PRAB was deferred to a future council meet­ing. It dealt with establishing policy for use of city recreational facilities. Several of the recom­mendations, Giese said, tend to conflict with other ordinances and need further study. These include a recommendation that political rallies at the lake be required to secu re a permit and that uch a permit would include a guarantee as to preservation of picnic facili­ties at the lake.

Youth Center Director The council finally approved a

job description for the Assistant Recreation Director (Center Direc­tor), but not until after much dis­cussion. Mayor Edgar Smith and coundlman Dick Pilski feared that the job description as written would leave the impression with prospective employees that the city was seeking a second-in-command to the Recreation Director rather than a Youth Center Director who would be spending almost all his time supervising the evening pro­grams at the Youth Center.

The council had indicated at bud­get time that it was interested in hiring someone for the latter du­ties, Smith said. Upon council­man Gerald Gough's and Francis White's suggestion, the job de­scription was modified to eliminate the illustrative examples, which, they said, might leave the wrong impression.

Councilman Bill Hoff thought the job description was fine as pre­sented and voted against the change, along with Pilski who wanted the job description com­pletely rewritten.

Rental P olicy Council reaffirmed the city's cur­

rent rental policy for use of the Municipal Building, which in effect includes a charge for all organiza­tions except those that are encour­aged or sponsored by city council, such as Citizens for a Planned Greenbelt and the Greenbelt Youth Council. However, the council a­greed that the manager should have wide latitude in applying the rule and that groups could appeal to the city council for waiver of fees. In this connection, the council voted to refund the charge made to the Eagle Scout Review Board.

Giese announced that approval of the 2-acre purchase of parkland on parcel 15 near Greenbelt Lake is being expected from the Council of Metropolitan Governments and other planning agencies. Applica­tion for open space Federal grant money is being prepared. The city is also preparing for a court hear­ing in late February or early 1\iarch

The 130 present at that meeting \'Oted to set up an escrow fund, made up of volunta.ry contribu­tions, to serve as security for the judgment while the case is under appeal and to raise additional funds to pay for the costs of an appeal.

Contract Awards For New Library

A $794,000 contract for the con~ struction of the long-awaited new library in Greenbelt was awarded on Friday, January 19, by the Prince George's County Commis• sioners. The library, which will be located near Center School off Crescent Road, will be a two-story building, 132-feet long on each side. According to the conditions of the advertisement for the contract, construction should be completed within 360 days.

With a 150,000 book capacity, the 35,000 square-foot facility will in· elude reading rooms for both chil• dren and adults, a 60' x 45' meeting room which wiU include a speak• ers platform and a screen and projection booth, offices and stor­age areas.

Vice-Chairman Francis B.

Advice On Solicitors Many business firms and indi­

viduals, because of the licens­ing laws, are required to carry an identifying SOLICITORS and PEDDLERS permit. The Prince Georges County Police Department neither recommends nor endorses the bearer of a County permit, the merchandise, the services of­fered, nor the business methods used in selling them.

The Prince Georg~s Police De­partment asks your cooperation by

·· t>bserving the following rules: 1. Always ask a solicitor to show

his permit and examine it to sec whether the expiration date has passed.

2. Pay no money in advance to any solicitor, because you may not get the articles you pay for.

3. Buy no merchandise from stranger.s who give the impression that the goods offered are a great bargain. Many times they will be found to be faked or stolen pro­perty.

4. Never permit a solicitor or any other stranger to enter your house, but make him transact his business in the vestibule or doorway with the inside chain on the door. Don't leave h im or her s ta ndirrg ·n thC' open doorway while you go into another part of the house.

Advise the Police Department at once, 444-1111 (Greenbelt Police, 474-5454) in the following cases:

1. If a solicitor has no permit, or if the permit has expired.

2. If you are defrauded by a solicitor or if you are not sure of a so-called "bargain".

Demand to see the credentials of any unknown person who repre­sents himself as a public utility employee, or public servant who wants to enter your house. His picture should be on the creden­tials. Examine the latter closely; if in doubt, call the police.

Remember that today's thief does not look like a thug. So don·t trust persons with whom you come in contact because they are pros­perous looking, arc smooth talkers and have polished manners.

Under no circumstances should you inform strangers of your neighbors' absence.

Beware of hiring transients and give no money to anyone unless you are absolutely sure of the person and the cause they repre­sent.

GREENBELT NEWS REVIEW

H ar1nan Explains New Postal Rates

Postmaster Emory A. Harm.an last week reminded mailers that new higher postage rates became effective Jan. 7, including the 8-­cents-an-ounce charge for first class letters.

Other rates effective Jan. 7, he noted, are: 10 cents an ounce for air mail, 5 cents each for postal cards, and 8 cents each for air pos­tal cards.

The postmaster assured local residents plenty of one-cent stamps are on hand for use with any ex­isting stocks of 5-cent stamps they may have on hand.

There are also adequate supplies of 6-cent stamps to meet the new first-class letter rate available at the post office.

The higher rates became effec­tive January 7 also for other cate­gories of mail used primarily by large-volume mailers. These in­clude bulk third-class advertising mail rates, special rates for books, films and records.

The post office is working closely with commercial mailers to provide them with every possible assistance in complying with the technical provisions of these rate changes, Mr. Harman noted.
