Plan To Build $5,000 Homes For Veterans
DES MOINES AP local contractors invited to city hall next Wednesday to hear plans for 200 permanent homes for veterans priced at 5 000 dollars or less. Lt Col Mark T Martin chairs the emergency housing committee and urged bids to spur construction within the target price. The veterans group proposed the plans and federal aid could cover moving costs for 200 trailers from other sites if the National Housing Administration approves. If government covers or waives moving costs, unit relocation could total 100 to 500 dollars per unit, depending on location. Rentals at the veteran camp sites could drop and enhance conveniences.
