Washington Post reports a federal funds fiasco as the Atomic Energy Commission closes its Savannah River barracks for single men. The AEC will cost taxpayers about 2 million dollars as it terminates the contractor after notifying them of bed reductions.
The Post notes only 37 percent occupancy across three barracks in small towns near Augusta Ga. 1500 bed units never exceeded 15 occupants while 1800 bed units stayed below 125 and the 900 bed unit never neared full. Salvage sales failed to recoup losses, with contracts costing up to 40 000 dollars sold for 2000.
