Action toward implementing one phase of the re-
cently passed Housing Code in the City of College
Station was instituted Sunday, Mayor D. A. "Andy"
Anderson reports. It consisted of placing condemn-
ation signs on some houses no longer suitable for
human habitation. Additional houses will be so
marked, he said.
This is but the first step toward eliminating a
blight from our community, Anderson stated. Follow -
up action will be taken later toward the removal
of such houses, he continued.
Assisting the Mayor in posting houses was City
Manager Ran Boswell.
The City of College Station is currently making
application with Housing and Urban Development for a
Workable Program.
Commenting on the Workable Program, Mayor
Anderson said, "the achievement of this approval
from HUD has been a, goal for over two years.
Only with the passage of necessary codes, however,
have we been able to take specific action towards
securing such program approval from HUD.
With the Workable Program, we can move out to
tackle housing needs for the less fortunate in
our community, the Mayor concluded.
