HOMESTEADERS HOLD MEETING Proposed Plans For Association Are Announced Last Night Representatives from each one I lof the 4X families residing at the <Decatur Homesteads were present at a special meeting held last eve- 5 nlng at the court house, when Edward Stone of Washington. D. C.. official of the resettlement administration announced proposed plans for conducting the business of the Decatur Homesteads Association, inc. Mr. Stone stated that the Homesteads was conveyed to a non-pro-fit community association organized for the purpose on October 30. Originally consisting of a hoard of directors of five members, this association will gradually be extended to include all Homesteaders o'n the project who have been approved by the resettlement administra- , tion tor the execution of perman!ent contracts. This permanent contract offers the opportunity to the Homesteaders to purchase their properties and permits them to pay for them over a period of 40 years. The average payments on account of the purchase price of the home stead, including principal aiYO in--1 terest. exclusive of taxes and ceritain other items mentioned below, will amount to $11.65 per month. I In order to defray the management expenses of the association (collec- , tion of rentals, etc.) and to provide 'a small reserve against contingen(cies and to provide for insurance which will also be handled through le association, a sum of ~4.23 is j„d »n fhf ß amount. L, auuilioU u> the iCiipoiioiumti-S lof a home owner there is the question of taxes which must be met. Due to the cooperation of the local county auditor and the assessor it has been estimated that taxes will average about $2.29 per month. The properties must be maintained and it is expected that each Homesteader will maintain his ow’n home but because of the small equity of each individual in his house at tills time and because of the large financial interest of the governmeut. each Homesteader will pay $2.5# per month toward a reserve fund for his individual house, an average monthly payment of $29.67. This fund, which will be continued for a period of tive years until it equals $l5O, will act as a guarantee fund that each individual will maintain his property. This will also assure the individual Homesteaders that their property will not be detrimentally affected through the lack of necessary maintenance work that should be carried on in places which require it. This fund of $l5O belongs to the Homesteader and can be used at a later date to apply on the final purchase of the house. As will be observed, a tax payment by each individual homesteader is included. This is because the property will be taxable after its ! conveyance to the association. Announcement of further details will be made in Monday's Democrat toTlowing today's meeting of the newly organized board of directors. o Sculptor’s Death Ends Hope To Visit Decatur Lorado Taft, world famous sculpi tor who died in Chicago yesterday, 1 did not live to eee th ■ Decatur peace monument, as he expressed a desire to do. in a letter to Frenvb Quinn if this city last May. Mr. Taft was a personal friend of Charles Mulligan, eculptor of the 1 local monument- Mr. Taft in his ieti ter written. May 16 commented. "He I had an exceptionally interesting de- ! sign and -seems to have carried it ' out with sincere devotion. I would say that it is one of the finest works of a very gifted man. You may well feel proud of it. 1 hope to see it some day in my travels." Mr. Taft was 75. Death interrupted his work on the memorial statue of George Washington, Robert Morlis and Hayim Solomon, the latter two being instrumental in financing j the Revolutionary war.
