Unanimous Recommendation

The commission unanimously recommended
that the department of housing "improve the
quality and supply of housing as well as to
administer state housing policy."

The commission recommended the sale of
tax exempt bonds to help obtain funds for the
proposed housing development authority. The
housing development authority is designed to
furnish capital for those people unable to
obtain conventional financing, and to help
private businesses in housing construction.

Mr. Holton stated that the newly created
agencies could be staffed by persons already
employed by the state, and he hoped that their
employment would not create a large added
expense to the state.
