Idea Must
Hurdle Huge
Legal Block
Lincoln hospital’s hopes of
erecting a 150 unit housint; pro
ject near the Urban Renewal
areas was viewed this week as
an attempt by the hospital ad
ministration to obtain a source
of revenue to help the institu
tion's hard pressed finances.
But those hopes will have to
wind through a series of legal
difficulties which might be suf
ficient to kill them, observers
reported this week.
The Durham Morning Herald
disclosed the hospital's intentions
to back a housing project on
Wednesday.
The daily newspaper report
said the matter hed been taken
up by the hospital's trustee
board at its annual meeting last
week.
However, hospital officials re
fused to comment on the issue.
Lincoln administrator Frank
Scott would not comment on the
subject but refused to say that
the Herald report was false.
According to the Herald re
port, the hospital’s housing units
•would not be in the urban re
newal area but would be close
to the area and designed to ac
commodate persons displaced by
the project.
The Durham Housing Author
ity has already announced plans
for 200 units of public housing
I for the area, and authority for
I the erection of 450 others has
i' been granted by the Public Houa-
to compute its plans for erec
