Georgia Rural People Benefit from
FHA Financed Water, Sewer Systems
About 26,000 Georgia farm
and other rural people will
benefit from Farmers Home
Administration loans and
grants for new or improved
water supply or waste disposal
systems in fiscal 1967, state
director S. L. VanLandingham
estimates.
These people live in or near
small rural communiites, 27
of which receive loans or
grants from Farmers Home
Administration, an agency of
the U. S. Department of Ag
riculture, in the fiscal year
ended June 30.
Nationally, 1,200,000 farm
and other rural people in 45
states and Puerto Rico bene
fited from $175.2 million in l
loans and more than' $22.5
million in grants for new or
improved water or waste dis
posal systems in fiscal 1967.
In addition, $3.5 million in
grants were given in fiscal 19-
67 for preparing plans for pro
jects.
The Georgia projects, spread
throughout 24 counties, were
financed with $2,920,000 in
loans and more than $933,000
in grants.
In addition, $283,300 in
grants were given to Planning
Commisions in fiscal 1967 for
preparing plans for Georgia
projects.
Since the agency was given
the authority in October 1965
to make grants and finance
community waste disposal
systems as well as water sup
ply facilities, Farmers Home
Administration has financed
the development of 93 com
munity water and sewage sys
tems in Georgia that are or
soon will be serving more than
70,000 rural people.
“These systems are becom
ing a major force in bringing
rural living conditions and eco
nomic opportunities up to na
tional standards,” VanLand
ingham explained. “Differen
ces will continue to be less no
ticeable as rural communities
offer the same facilities as
cities.”
About 18 percent of the to
tal number of loans was sup
plied by private lenders, in
cluding banks and insurance
companies, with repayment
guaranteed by the Farmers
Administration.
Many of the communities
helped by Farmers Home Ad
ministration were dependent
upon polluted and inadequate
wells, springs and water haul
ed in by truck as their only
source of water, and on aged,
inadequate septic tanks.
The largest rural water and
waste disposal system financed
with Farmers Home Adminis
tration help during the year
was the City of Folkston in
Charlton County which re
ceived a direct loan of $423,-
000 and a grant of $340,890.
The system will provide im
provements to the city’s water
system and an adequate waste
disposal facility for 450 rural
families, and about 70 busi
nesses, churches, schools and
other public facilities.
The rural water and waste
disposal systems are organized
through local initiative by
town governments, other pub
lic bodies or private nonprofit
associations formed by pro
spective users in communities
of less than 5,000 population.
The loans are repaid from the
earnings of the system during
periods of up to 40 years and
carry a maximum interest
rate of 5 percent.

HOW ZIP CODE WORKS
Suppose the Zip Code is 60635. The "6”
, says it goes to the Midwest. The "06”
narrows it down to Chicago. The last two
digits—"3s”—pinpoint the local post
office. This eliminates many handling pro
cedures. The letter is sorted faster, and
sent more directly to its destination.

Mail moves the country—ZlP CODE moves the mail!
