Housing Project i At Camp Lejeuoe Well Underway Camp Lejeune. July 10 "Hous es While You Wait" could well be the slogan at Tarawa Terrace. Houses at Camp Lejeune's new 1.054 unit housing development are growing faster than weeds.

Spangler Building co., of Raleigh, contractors for the project, have installed modern production line methods by prefab ricating whole sections of the hous es close to the spot they are to be erected. Assembly Line Skilled carpenters using electric saws cut lumber to exact size and shape. Other workers place the cut pieces in forma and nail them to gether.

Company of ficials expect this number to reach a peak of 1,500 within the next 30 to 40 days. Workers on the job arc already orinxing water irom wens wnicn will supply the houses. Ernest Har gett, assistant superintendent, pointed out that possibly several months were lopped off the occu pancy date because the water is so pure a processing plant will not be ? necessary.

The rent for the two-bedroom dwelling will be approximately $60 before utilities. Landlords , Tenants Should J Take Problems to Rent Office The best advice for landlords and tenant* with rent control ques tions is still "ask the rent office," Rent Director John Blair Mason, stated today. Although the questions prove to be much the same, each une re quires individual attention, the di rector explained. Tenants generally want to know what rent they should be paying and what services they're entitled to. This makes necessary a check of the landlord registration. "Very often there is a follow up." Mason said. "The tenant may make a written complaint that he's paying over-ceiling rent or that he's not getting all the required services. Sometimes we discover that a property is not registered. The next step is to talk with the landlord and get a registration front him." When landlords visit the rent utfice, they generally want to know how they can get * rent increase or what they muat do to evict a tenant. "Every question has an answer, but we have to know all the facta in order to give that answer," Ma son said. "We are continually pub licizing the main points about rent control and we have fact sheets at the rent office that landlords and tenants may have without cost. Nevertheless, many questions are answered best through personal in terview. We find that people oft en feel better about having their problems settled in this way "That makes it our Job," he em phasized, "to give answers clearly and courteously and without wast ing the time of either the caller or our interviewer. We want people to ask-the-rent-office and we prom ise to give service." The area rent office is located in the municipal building, More bead City. Morehead Rotary Gub to Hear D.
