Show Code Enforcement Begins efters Editor: wish to thank the I Emergency Housing for what is being done on my house. After a few years unless a house is constantly repaired it soon begins to fall apart. My children give me money to live on, cut the lawn and paint the walls but a new roof is quite a job and few have time to do this. Yes, who has time to fix windows, do plumbing or put on a roof and still hold down a job. So when Mr. Murl Redford came and said that the housing development, backed by the government would put a new roof on for me I was of course delighted. Then Jack Willis and Mr. Johnstone came out and looked my place over to see what else needed. I was surprised that things move so fast. The plumber has been here and a truck came out with all the material needed for my roof. These men who came out to investigate are most courteous and pleasant, make you feel they are glad to be of any assistance. It lifts your spirits just knowing they care about you no matter what your age may be. As one person said, oh that is just their job, nothing else. But I do not believe this. I THINK THEY I The Salt Lake City Code friend, looked for three days to find a very small apartment. I am sure this new housing plan will gradually work things out . . a plan where buildings are being remodeled instead of torn down or sold to big business. Old homes are being painted and repaired, some thing to help bring a little more joy and happiness into the lives of others and hope for the future. I also appreciate the Neighborhood Enforcement Agency has been established by the City Commission after the awarding to Salt Lake of a $483,000 grant. programs for the young, bus transportation, etc. Salt Lake City is indeed a beautiful place to live, and with this housing repair program and interested workers behind it, IT CAN BE EVEN BETTER.

I am seventy three years old and have often said, "Oh, if my house will only hold out as long as do." Now I am most sure it will, thanks to this new project.
