Survey of Clifton's Rental
Housing Needs is Important
Clifton’s shortage of rentable hous-
ing has been the number one problem
in community development and indus-
trial development for several years.
Though some progress has teen made
to relieve this shortage, our community
is still stymied.
Existing industry, private business
and voluntary organizations such as the
Chamber of Commerce and Industrial
Foundation have made some progress,
and now here is a way the average citizen
can help too.
If you are now renting, but the place
you are now living is not adequate, or
not to your liking, or if you would con-
sider moving for anv reason, you can
help Clifton get additional rental hous-
ing bv filling out a short RENTAL HOUS-
ING SURVEY form.
These forms are available at either
The Chamber of Commerce office, or at
The Record office. They are short, with
only about 12 questions, and will take
only a few minutes of your time to fill
out.
The forms will be used only by the
Farmers Home Administration in order
to tabulate Clifton housing needs. Most
important is the fact that this informa-
tion is confidential (your present landlord
will never see it), and there will be ab-
solutely no obligation on your part if you
fill out this form. The form is simply a
guide for the governmental lending
agency, which will finance some addi-
tional rental housing as Clifton needs it.
While there is no individual obliga-
tion if you fill out such a form, it is very
important that they be filled out by any-
one who is now renting or expeets to be
renting in the near future. The survey
is important because it will show a need
for the extra housing. Clifton leaders and
citizens know about this shortage, but
the only way we can convince the people
responsible for lending money for new
housing is to show them the results of
this survey. Not only people who NOW
LIVE in Clifton should complete this sur-
vey, but everyone who works in Clifton
but who lives somewhere else, should
also get a form to fill out if he would like
to move to Clifton.
Anyone who stops to think about
this survey can see that it is important:
(1) First, Clifton cannot appeal to
new industry (which means “jobs”) until
we have more people and we can’t appeal
to more people until we have places for
them to live. This newspaper hopes Clif-
ton will not boom to the degree where
we trade our spaciousness and clean air
and all our other advantages for pollu-
tion, but we must keep up a steady grow-
th and progress, to keep from turning
to a ghost town as many other rural
towns have done during the past few
decades.
(2) Second, Farmers Home Adminis-
tration has helped Bosque County’s rent-
al housing shortage in several towns
more than any other agency either gov-
ernmental or private, that we know
about. Still there are other counties in
the state and in other states who need
this housing help too. It is not realistic
to expect Farmers Home Administration
or any other lending agency to just loan
us some money on the say-so of a few
leaders. This agency needs specific facts
to know our needs and this can be fur-
nished them via this survey.
(3) Third, no community anywhere
should ever be guilty of paddling these
surveys to indicate a greater need for
housing that actually exists. But by the
same standards, if we only get a few cit-
izens to fill out this survey it will indi-
cate that we “don’t need more rental hous-
