Mr. Halgren believes that even if federal assistance is not available funds could be made possible through sale of the cleaned up property if the owner refuses to act chi the ordinance. He further believes that with a few new revisions and public interest in this project Salt Lake can replace its unsightly dwellings. Building ve For Appointments Slim, compact, modern design Green area. 500 HAIR FASHIONS 3939 Highland Drive - In m In Salt Lake City and county it is possible to live next door to a dilapidated building. . .and it is just about impossible to get it tom down or cleaned up. Until recently the Board of Health only had authority to board up these dwellings. The Board of Health not only does not have the funds to eliminate such public hazards and nuisances, but the law being inadequate makes it very difficult to carry out this process. Salt Lake Citys assistant city attorney, Leon A. Halgren has asked the city commission for a revision in city ordinances to make it possible for the Board of Health to demolish these eyesores. Mr. Halgren said that through the Department of Housing and Urban Development there is a program of aiding code enforcement as well as rehabilitation and demolition. This assistance on the part of the federal government ds of the cost for demoprovides approximately d.

In the event nothing is done a hearing will be had and the owner given every opportunity to meet the demands of the committee. After a certain length of time if no action has been taken the structure will be town down and a bill presented to the owner for the demolition. Upon collection of the bill for this service the money will be placed in a fund used solely for the purpose of demolishing other unsightly structures. As in all federal projects there are stipulations. One is that it can apply only to areas where there is twenty percent public hazard or nuisance buildings. Surveys would have to be conducted and if only one home in a area needed to be demolished this act would not apply to that MOUNTEER sV Jims 18 It So.
