FHA Offers
Housing Loans
The Federal Housing Admini
stration will make loans for the
building ol 100 rental units of
the 300 that will be required
lor military personnel of the new
Klamath Air Force Base when It
opens In January.
That commitment was made by
J. O. Arrlngton, regional director
of the FHA, to R. Frank Tucker,
manager of the chamber of com
merce and Robert Veach, aviation
committee director, when they vis
ited Portland last Friday.
Purpose of the Portland visit
was to advise Investment and other
firms that an attractive Invest
ment is available In KlamaUi
County.
County construction and Invest
ment firms already have been
fully advised of the needed units,
but so far no marked moves have
been made here to start construc
tion.
Air Force officers had told the
chamber that a total of 454 rental
units will be required to provide
for housing for the married por
tion of the 1.009 officers and air
men who will bring their families
to Klamath Falls.
A chamber survey revealed
there are now about 150 units
which will be available, but non
availability, of the remaining 300
required, presents a serious prob
lem, Tucker pointed out.
It has been pointed out that the
Influx of military personnel will
be staggered the first contingent
of 90 arriving here this Novem
ber, and they will require approxi
mately 41 units.
Complete complement of the
base will not be filled until De
cember, 1955, officers have ad
vised. Civilian personnel at the base
will number 131, It was announced.
