Page 24 , "Incomes and Housing Costs . " Mr . Sodcrer remarked that the page was dense with figures , and Mr . Norris said d that the graphic presentwtion of the material would ecnsequently be very important . Pages 26 and 27 , "Substandard Housing . " Mrs . Henderson asked how the enumerators in the 1960 Ccns. i s could have known what constituted " inadequate original cola- struct i.on" of a house . Housing Aide Ransom remrhed that just that sort of thing had made tie Bureau of the Census decide that the 1960 statistics on housing conditions were unreliable . Planning Director Schroeter said that the enumerators had been provided with detailed instructions in assessing condition, but that they had had differing opportunities to put them into effect , some entering the houses , some not . Mr . Norris asked what the purpose of the suggested house-to-house inspection progrw)ri might ht be and if there weren ' t a contrntl cf i or: between saying at one point that it would be carried out by "trained raters " and at another point that OU.IU DC curried out x:y " Co]rltluins. by people . Housing Aide Ransom said that the inspection program would be to find out the real condition of Redwood City ' s housing stock in , say , the "Poverty Target Area. " Since federal funds for new low-income housing were limited and hard to get , this would be important to a program to maintain the City ' s existing low- income housing . Community people would be trained as raters , he said . This would both get them involved in the housing problem and give the community a valuable asset in trained personnel . ai suggested"f [ 1 ' ig the word "leaving"'\,•7 g ' ♦-1 the sentence', 1 h ' .1 hart n �.1�� • Henderson I1��"wJE.47'tEd �.l l'�nrJ.�_�/.r.J- ta�� Y•1 �� .1_\✓f44� rLFF�� •��L ��/.� �cz czl�\✓ ��J A2� �_.!� ��W 1.• _ rt.1 . _ _ ,ct Count!
