. . .CD scores low
(Continued from page 1)
points could be scored. Hoke got
11 and Raeford scored 17.
Both Raeford and Hoke scored
the maximum 100 points dealing
with the consistency with state
policy and programs criteria.
According to Craver, there were
1 ,000 points available for the total
application.
Hoke County scored 680 and
Raeford received 685 points.
The last project funded, or the
one with the least number of points
that still received funding, was the
Macelesfield project.
That application scored 735
points in the rating and the town
received a total of $601,285 for
two projects.
According to Craver, there are
two staff members from the
Releigh office of the N.C. NRCD
that will be traveling to regional
offices to set up appointments for
examining applications with of
ficials of governmental bodies.
"I think most people understand
the competitive nature of the
grants," said Craver.
The Lumber River Council of
Governments handled the county's
application for the CD funds,
while the private consultant Skip
Green applied for the city's funds.
Hoke County had hoped to
rehabilitate housing and drainage
in the Tylertown area. Raeford
was planning to improve living
conditions on Wooley Street.
It was the second year in a row
that both governmental bodies
have applied for the funds and fail
ed.
Forgotten funds await
Hoke County residents
More than $350,000 has been
paid to 1,516 people throughout
North Carolina as a result of last
year's concerted effort to restore
unclaimed and abandoned proper
ty to its proper owners, State
Treasurer Harlan Boyles said.
This year over $1,700 is waiting
for 16 Hoke County residents.
In the current year, Boyles said,
an even greater efort is being made
to return property to its rightful
owners.
If the owners cannot be found,
the money is invested by the
Department of the State Treasurer,
and the interest is used to provide
educational loans for qualifying
North Carolina students in the
State's colleges and universities.
By law, lists of owners of
unclaimed property are sent each
year to each Clerk of Court in the
State.
This year, as in past years, local
lists are being supplied to
newspapers along with a request
that they be published as a public
service. "I know that people are
very grateful when they read in the
paper that there is money waiting
for them," Boyles asserted, "and
our Department is gratified by this
help as well."
During the past year, Boyles
reported, cash funds turned over
to the State amounted to
$4,099,380.
These funds were invested by the
Treasurer, and earned a con
siderable amount of interest.
As a result of this investment,
plus investment of funds in
previous years, the State Educa
tion Assistance Authority received
$2,488,304 in interest this year for
the educational loans.
To get information about
unclaimed property, owners are
asked to write the Abandoned Pro
perty Office, Department of State
Treasurer, 325 North Salisbury
Street, Raleigh, North Carolina
27611, or call (919) 733-4440.
