Show VetrDisagree With Mayor's Housing Costs Figures of from $1,500 to $2,000 for the cost of liveable Quon-set Quon-set hut advanced by Mayor Mark Anderson recently as the possible cost for' any such project pro-ject do not necessarily apply to this area and especially to the particular project now contemplated contem-plated by Provo veterans, the latter lat-ter declared Saturday in answer to Mayor Anderson's story. James Mitchell, president of the recently formed Veterans' Villa organization to promote temporary housing for local veterans, vet-erans, declared figures advanced by Mayor Anderson to be at least double what latest estimates give for the project contemplated in Provo. The story in Western City magazine mag-azine quoted by Mayor Anderson told of efforts by California veterans vet-erans to buy and erect Quonset huts in Los Angeles, which were costing from $1,500 to $2,000 each. Three factors exist which would run the Los Angeles project far above the one planned for Provo, Mitchell asserted. First, the veterans, vet-erans, apparently buying their huts on an individual basis, paid the government nearly $300 per hut. Mitchell claims W. H. Smith, regional veterans housing official in Salt Lake City, has promised huts free for the Provo project, planned as it is on a cooperative, co-operative, community basis. Second. Sec-ond. Los Angeles city building regulations required the erection of a $200 garage, an item which would be eliminated in the Provo plan. Third. Mitchell claimed, building costs in the Los Angeles area are 20 to 25 percent higher than they are in this region. While the veterans' organization organiza-tion claims it is not yet ready to release cost figures to the public, pub-lic, because of several uncompleted uncom-pleted phases of its investigation, Mitchell indicated that these figures fig-ures will be ready to present Monday Mon-day night to veterans interested ir. the prjoect. On that night, beginning be-ginning at 8 p. m., all interested veterans and their wives are urged to meet in the south district dis-trict court room of the city and county building for final action on incorporating the organization. A total of 260 inquiries have now been received from local veterans' on the plan, all of them indicating they would like to participate par-ticipate if costs can be kept within with-in their reach and a feasible plan be worked out. Three Nominees File Expenses Three mose Utah county can didates in the coming fall election elec-tion have filed a report of their election expenses at the office of County Clerk Clarence A. Grant. J. W. Thornton, Provo. Democratic Demo-cratic state senatorial candidate, has spent $109-98 to date, according accord-ing to his report. Maurice Anderson, Ander-son, whose election to the state house from district four is assured as-sured because he has no Republican Repub-lican opponent in November, listed list-ed $61.50. insurred in the July 9 primary when he faced another Democratic opponent for the nomination. B. Manning Jolley. Republican candidate for state senator, lists $5. his initial filing fee. Several others of the 11 candi dates who still have not filed an expense account have contacted County Clerk Grant, but must await a supply of the proper forms from state election offic ials before they can officially file their report. Thirty-two of the 43 Utah county coun-ty candidates who should file an' expense account with the county clerk have now made their rc-' port.
