No money from N. Shore. councils

RENTERS WILL have
to wait. until .at. least
next year before any of
the North. Shore
municipalities
provide funds for an
agency designed to
help them.

And even then, the North

proposed by the North Shore
Tenants Association (NSTA)
may not get any funds to
supplement a hoped-for
federal grant of $54,748 to
start up the project.

member task force,

that _the committee was
interested in a _ general
discussion on 13 issues

However it was Mayor
Derrick Humphreys, sitting
in on the meeting, who
broadened the discussion by
reminding the assembly that

From then on discussion
