HA Schedules Final
Inspection On New Units
The Kings Mountain Housing
Authority has scheduled the final
Inspection for the 40 elderly housing
units, llie Inspection date Is June

tentatively scheduled for June 21.
According to officers of Kings
Mountain Housing Authority, the
construction at these units has
presented no more pnfolems than
could be expected, however, the
most difficult problem has been

148. These selections have been
made after much screening of
records and considering a list of
criteria.
The primary criteria In general Is
need and financial solvency:
Need, a 78 year old widow of four
years living alone in the rented old
home place with no plumbing. In
January she fell while carrying
water from a neighbor's house and
fractured her leg.
Need, an 88 year old vet. of WWI
can no longer cook for his 88 year old
wife, wants a place he can take care

These examples are extreme but
true and are followed by many
hardship cases. Solvency, contrary
to common belief, financial solvency
Is maintained by the Authority. This
requires from time to tlnM the
assignment of a person who has an
Income approaching the maximum
of $8,600 per year.
"We truly hope those who have not
been assigned will understsind and
keep the faith," said Executive
Director Tom Harpen.
Hopefully an open house can be
held June 8. A firm date wlU be
announced later.
