How Flagstaff, Arizona, resort and tourist city of about 10,000 persons, annexed some 50 square miles during thb past year to "preclude development of substandard subdivisions," was told when Housing Administrator Albert M. Cole recertified the workable program by which the city has undertaken to eradicate its slums and blight and guide its growth and orderly development.

Flagstaff is the seat of Coconino county about 65 miles northeast of Prescott and is the home of Arizona State College. The Navaio Ordnance Depot is 12 miles .west of the city.

This recertification, which will run until January l, 1960, indicated that Flagstaff has made reasonable progress toward achievement of its long-range objectives for community improvement and remains in good standing for Federal assistance for its renewal and housing projects.

The city has one urban renewal project, known as the South Flagstaff area, in planning stage. It also reported that a tract of 740 acres transferred from the Forest Service will be subject to immediate zoning.

In its application for recertification of its workable program for the second year, Flagstaff reported some relief in its shortage of relocation housing with 40 units of low-rent public housing now substantially completed and the certification for Section 221 F}{A mortgage insurance assistance by the Housing Administrator for 125 relocation units of low-cost private housing. The Housing Authority previously had 47 units of low-rent housing under management.
