Commissioner Peccole moved the resolution as presented by the Chamber of Commerce be adopted. R E S O L U T I O N Under Public Law #139, signed by the President last week, it appears that outright grants of federal funds may be available for certain purposes in officially-declared defense areas. Among these purposes are housing and water facilities. Inasmuch as both of these rank high on the development agenda of this community, we deem it important that the possibilities of securing federal funds to assist our area in coping with its housing and water problems be thoroughly canvassed. To that end we ask that the Las Vegas Nevada Chamber of Commerce communicate on our behalf with the office of the Administrator, Housing and Home Finance Agency, asking that an official survey be made to determine whether this area may qualify for federal funds for its housing and water problems under the terms of Public Law #139.
