This will bring the authority to full membership strength and permit it to resume functioning. The action was taken at the request of a steering committee of the countys study project in independent living, a request repeated at Tuesdays meeting by Mrs. Sarah Yates, Mrs. Mabel Yourt and Les Dunn. Its through the housing authority that they hope to receive a $5,000 grant from the state and use it as earnest money for purchase of the Golden Spike motel in Brigham City. As announced previously, the steering committee hopes to acquire the motels 15 units and convert them into double and single apartments for elderly persons. These would be citizens who require partial services but are not in need of nursing home care. Hope for Funds Proponents hope that in its special session in October, the state legislature will authorize new funds for such projects. And if not, they say theyre ready to take a loan and pay it off from rent from the apartment community. The motel cost had been set at $125,000 with another $25,000 said needed to convert themotel to its new rple. the said Mrs. Yates motel owner Lafe Jensen has received two higher offers but has agreed to hold up for six months while details are handled for its use by the elderly. Mrs. Yates said the project could be handled by a corporation and thus relieve the county of the responsibility for buildings and maintenance. .
