Bryant Cunngloii of Austin Texas,
the original application, which has
never boon formerly filed, Imd re
quested a public assistance r.uil
of $560,000. in order lo hold down
the minimum monthly cost to each
member. However, it was learned
from Congressman ,1. .1 Pickle's
office that there was onl\ $900,000.
grant monc.\ for tlx whole state of
Texas for next ycai and that the
prolk'thility of any grant money he
ing given at this lime was ques-
tionable. Together with applica
tion for grants throughout the slate
of Texas, il was estimated that it
would bo at least two years before
the Bastrop organization could e.v
|H'ct lo receive any grant money
! ami might never receive tin- full
amount that they had asked in
; their original application lo supple
mcnt a loan.
The consensus w ■ against wail

plication for a loan from FHA to
cover llii lotal cost of 11 .< project
and lo disregard Ihe application
for grant money . There was a feel
ing of optimism among those pro
I sent that there would now lie an
early approval of this project by
FHA.
