U. S. Farm Housing
Program Underway
In Cooke County
The farm housing program au-
thorized by recent act of Con-
gress has been launched in Cooke
county. Applications for loans to
build or repair farm buildings
are being received at the Farmers
Home administration county of-
fice in the Courthouse in Gaines-
ville, according to John D. Cun-
ningham, FHA county supervisor.
Loans may run for a maximum
of 33 years, at 4 per cent interest,
and can be made to farm owners
who cannot obtain farm housing
loans from their bank or other
sources, Cunningham said. Own-
ers who qualify can also get loans
for improving housing for their
tenants. All loans are subject to
approval by the local three-mem-
ter PHA County Committee. The
committee in Ccoke county is
composed of Bert A. Martin of
Valley View, Jake G. Biffle of
Myra, and Rufe W. Winger of the
Callisburg community.
The housing act provides for a
four-year period or loan making.
The appropriation for the current
year is $27,000,000 for the entire
country, which will mean about
five loans per agricultural county
at an estimated average of $2,200
per loan. The authorized congres-
sional appropriation for the four
years is $275,000,000. Veterans
will receive preference.
Cunningham predicted that
most loans will go to farmers with
farm earnings and other income
sufficient to repay the loan plus
interest without further help
irom the government. He expects
most loans will be for repairs and
remodeling rather than for new
construction.
A loan may also be made to a
farm owner whose income is not
now considered adequate to re-
pay the loan on schedule, if his
income can be made sufficient by
enlarging or developing his farm
by improving his farm enter-
prises. If the owner follows a
previously agreed upon plan for
making needed revisions, the gov-
ernment will help him on his pay-
ments if necessary the first five
years.
Loans also may be made to
eliminate hazards to a family’s
health and safety. With borrowers

and Mrs. E. L. Townsley of 1332

SAYS CITY COUNCIL FAILS
TO KEEP ANY OF PROMISES
Editor, The Register:
December 3, 1949, is the day the
citizens of Gainesville shall deter-
mine the future of their city. We
have had a little over two years
of . the old horse and buggy form
of government, and during these
two years, the cost of operating
the city hall has more than dou-
bled. The property tax has been
increased, together with the
water, sewer and garbage rates.
What did the proponents of the
aldermanic form of government
promise two years ago? The fol-
lowing quotation is from one of
the circulars they distributed in
1947:
“Now is the time for every
good citizen to come to the aid
of their town. To vote contrary
to the way this ballot is marked
is voting for the city manager
group which means higher taxes,
sewer, water bill, and the contin-
uation of patched up streets.”
The present city council raised
all the rates which they said
would be raised by the city man-
ager form of government.
The City of Gainesville is an
$11,000,000 corporation, and
should be run as any other cor-
poration. Do you think for one
minute that any other $11,000,000
corporation would let the present
city council operate their con-
cern?
All corporations have a board
of directors who hire someone
qualified to operate their com-
pany. The city of Gainesville has
a water works, a sewer system
and a light plant which the city
council knows nothing about
operating.
The city manager form of gov-
ernment is a business form of
government. The city council
sets as a board of directors, the
same as a board of directors of
a bank or corporation. They hire
men qualified to supervise the
operation of all departments of
the city in the same manner as
any other business concern.
A city is like any other con-
cern, it either goes forward or
