N C 28782 Habitat Budget Crunch Causes Bldg. Suspension All construction of new homes by Thermal Belt Habitat for Humanity has been indefi nitely suspended, it has been regretfully announced by Dick Johnston, president of the orga nization, which has built 19 houses for desperately needy families of the area since its beginning in 1984. "While the timing is terrible, there is little else we can do, given the economics of the day," Johnston said. "We have a record number (16) of applications from needy Families right now, but our financial reserves have been depleted by a combination of soaring constructions costs and growing competition for charit able dollars. The latter has tripled since Habitat's inception, cutting our support nearly in half," the president explained. In addition, the competition for charitable monies has reduced Habitat's income from other fund raising activities; such as, its Auction and Resale Store. In fact, the only source of steady income which has not faltered is mortgage payments from those occupying the houses. Those are current, but not sufficient to support oper ations.

The board then asked county building inspector Randolph McDaniel if he could be pre pared to start handling the per mit process for new signs right away, should the board pass the ordinance at meeting Monday at 3 p.m. at the courthouse annex. McDaniel said he could be ready. In addition to requiring per mits for new signs, most exist ing advertising signs will also require pennits under the ordi nance. Commissioner Tim McCormack proposed that the deadline for existing sign own ers to file for permits be extended from 180 davs to one year. Board chairman Jeannie Mar tin added a suggestion that McDaniel make that filing pro cess simple and easy. "Let's put in place a system that is as convenient as pos sible, she said.
