approved by the federal government, however the contract
documents have not been received from HUD'for execution

expend project funds for acquisition and other project
activities The staff is cognizant of the alternate. pro-
cedure of arly land acquisition wherein the purchase.of
property can be allowed by the adoption.of a resolution,
however it is less than the most.desirable approach. If
further delays are encountered consideration of early land
acquisitior would be in order.

quest on a, to when Chapin Street would be open for traf-
fic, Mr. B llinger felt that this could happen within the
