At its regular meeting Thurs
day night, a sizeable crowd of
Southside residents heard John
Gatling, coordinator of Federal
funds for the City of Raleigh,
discuss the latest arrangements
for payments to displaced
owners and tenants in Southside.
The act, which makes this pos
sible Is known as the Uniform
Relocation Act and signed by
President Nixon January 2, 19-
71. The formula (retroactive)
for payment Is applied case by
case.
Instead of the old maximum
of $5,000 paid to owners, the
new maximum is $15,000. Ten
ants may receive SI,OOO a year
($4,000-four years), and pur
chase a home under the 235
program. In fact if he quali
fies and receives $2,000 and can
obtain $2,000 more from any
source he can purchase a house.
