     Further reference is made to your telegram of October 17, 1969, and
your letter of the same date requesting that we examine into the adequacy
of the settlement proposed by the owner of the Tobyhanna Village housing
project, in response to foreclosure proceedings initiated by the Federal
Housing Administration (FRA), Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD)b the mortgagee of the project. The mortgage foreclosure proceedings
were initiated by ERA in April 1969 for failure of the owner to maintain
the premises in good tepair and condition. The project is located on
Army-owned land adjacent to the Tobyhanna Army Depot, Tobyhanna,
Pennsylvania.
     In a meeting on October 28, 1969, with Mr. Ray A. Huber of your staff,
we informed him of ceitain information we had obtained regarding this mat-
ter and advised him that, during the course of our examination, FhA had
decided to reject the owner's proposed settlement. We agreed to furnish
you with a report summarzing the information we had obtained and to keep
you informed of any sionfcant developments which might come to our atten-
tion regarding this matter

     We examined pertinent records at the A Philadelphia Insuring Office;
the Tobyhanna Army Depot, Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania; and the HUD headquarters
office in Washington, D.C. We also made an inspection of the Tobyhanna
VIllage housing project and held discussions with HUD and Army officials
and with the manager of the project.  The information obtained during our
examination is discussed below

ect, which it had previously acquired through foreclosure of a mortgage
to Dr. Gabriel Elias, who took title to the proect i n the name of his
mother, Mrs. Bella Angel. For purposes of this report Dr. Elias is
referred to as the owner.

     Thff e s mntof the sales price of $436,300 consisted of a cash
payment of $36,300 and a mortgage note for the balance payable over a
39-year period with interest at the rate o         5-i/4 percent.  Although
Dr. Elias made all the required mortgage payments, ERA contended that
he had faled to maintain the property in satisfactory physical condi-
tion and that its efforts to have him repair the property generally
