The Board found that last year it had 5,384 prison days served in its jail and calculated the cost at S7.57 per day. That cost does not inchide two addi tional staff members that would have to be hired under state regulations if die county housed state prisoners. It does not include clothing for prisoners. The state fee does not include jail depreciation. The Board said the old jail was condemned after fifty years and estimated future annual depreciation costs of a new jail being built at SI2,857.36. The additional personnel would run "*,th?S^7Sfe?1nted to $40,731.91. The added salaries, depreciation and Clothing would cost the county almost $7 before food, professional services, supplies and other items. The Board also noted that the present jail has been con anH ic rpniiir*?H oc a condition for continued use while the new jail is being built. to reduce its capacity from 24 to 16 inmates. The Board indicated it would be willing to consider its posi tion after the new jail goes into use -- probably late next year. However, the Board.would need to negotiate a rate, noting that $8 per day would be insufficient to meet costs. In other action, the Board directed its contract engineering firm to calculate the cost of the feasibility survey of a proposed county-wide water system. Charlie Baker, engineer for Henningson, Durham & Richardson Engineers of Charlotte estimated the cost at $10,000 to $15,000. A firm esti mate is expected at the Board's October 3 meeting. Because grant funds to build the Courthouse Annex were held up due to a title search. Leslie Boney of Wilmington, the architect, asked bidders for a 20-day time extension on hold ing their bid prices. Normally, after 30 days, bidders are released from their offers.

The pro gram is funded by Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Dan Newkirk. Project Director for the Section 8 Existing Housing Program, stated that the recruitment phase has been very successful, but present housing that is decent, safe and sanitary has become difficult to locate. Landlords and private owners who participate in the rent subsidy program are guaran teed tneir'rent monthly for one year as long as the family remains in the dwelling. Those families eligible for rent subsidy are: handicapped, disabled, persons 62 years of age or older, married or un married. having dependents. Eligible families have 60 days to find a safe, decent and sanitary home. The family shares the burden in finding a house. Houses eligible for the pro gram must have a bathroom, hot and cold water in both kitchen and bathroom, no leaking roof, no rats ?r roaches - in other words, decent, safe and sani tary. The houses are inspected before approval by the housing authority. Mobile homes must be anchored down and under pinned (skirting is not con sidered underpinning). The program can only assist those individuals who rent, and the program does not pay for back rent, mortgage payments or repairs. Persons with houses available for rent, and those who do rent, are encouraged to contact Region P, Human Development Agency, Inc. The office is located just inside the town limits of Kenansville, on Hwy. II, South, between the county maintenance shop and Cumberland Paving Co., or call 2%-0674 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m..
