The new bank will be known as United American Bank of Hamilton County. UNDER THE merger plan, United Bank will pay $4.68 million to acquire the 208,000 outstanding shares of stock of the City Bank and Trust of East Ridge.

East Ridge is a city in the Chattanooga metropolitan area. The figure works out to $22.50 a share. City Bank president Jim Huskey said the offer is "very fair." City Bank stock sold for $13 to 18.50 a share during 1 980, he sa id. Huskey predicted City Bank's 1,200 shareholders will sell their stock to United Bank if the merger agreement is approved by federal regulators. THE BANK'S I4-member board of directors, who together own 42 of the City Bank stock, unanimously endorsed the acquisition proposal during a special meeting Friday.

"We can become a real visible hankinf irlon. a ft-: tity in this community through this merger," said Butcher.

Lederer. a former bartender, doorman, car pet cutter and warehouseman, said he was laid off about a week ago as a steamfitter at a local refinery. THERE'S ENOUGH petroleum in the tanks, so they do not have the call (for workers) they usually have, and it's slowed down," said Lederer, a charter member of the House's i i iru ii Blue Collar Caucus during his two terms.

Lederer, 43, was the only one of six congressmen convicted in the FBI's Abscam probe to be re-elected last November. The Philadelphia Democrat resigned from the House May 5 after the House Ethics Committee recommended that he be expelled. Lederer has appealed his conviction on grounds he was entrapped by the government. He was videotaped taking $50,000 Sept. 11, I.

Buick Regal, 198. By NAT CALDWELL Tennessean Staff Correspondent BENTON, Ky. A row of strange sheds, which has to be one of the oddest-looking collections of new dwellings ever intended for human habitation, are nearing completion here. And despite their strange looks, Nashville Landscape Architect Robert Werle said "it is not improbable" that now most of the new multi-family housing built in the United States in the next 25 years may look much like this. WERLE WAS speaking of the nation's first large passive solar apartments, a federal Department of Housing and Urban Development and TVA national solar demonstration.

It is a 96-unit solar-heated and -cooled apartment house for the low-income elderly to rent. The first 24-unit section will be finished soon. Werle is directing its construction and will manage the $3.3 million project for its sponsors, the United Methodist Church. It is located on Kentucky Lake on VS. Highway 68, and next week big signs will be painted identifying it as Lakeland Wesley Village.

Elderly tenants will move into the initial units the last of July. Their maximum rent will be that customary for HUD rent-subsidy projects for the elderly, one-fourth of the tenant's net income. WERLE SAID yesterday: "The project on the shores of Kentucky Lake, 110 miles due northeast of Nashville, is attracting national attention because it will demonstrate under practical living conditions the huge money-saving possibilities of harnessing the sun's rays to provide heating and cooling for multi-family housing." Spokesmen for TVA and HUD said last year they expect the passive solar heating and cooling and active solar hot water heating in the project will cut gross operating costs at least one-sixth or one-seventh under those of conventional apartment structures. Energy bills for most elderly housing are "so high," Werle said, that "fine tuning of the various solar devices may bring total operating costs down as much as a fifth or even a fourth." TWO ELDERLY TENANTS who have been waiting for months to move in, Mrs. Ruby Gregory, 84, and Mrs.

Opal Jackson, 72, confessed yesterday that they were surprised by the differences in appearance from any conventional housing they see emerging in the construction process. To the first-time visitor, Wesley Village resembles a continuous strip of very bulky, brown shed-type factory buildings. The "factory buildings" are in the middle of a wilderness. At least 75 large trees will have to be cut down in order to give tenants a chance to see that they are splendidly located with a view of seven miles of Wesley Village-owned lakefront (From First Page) Seve Ballstn.

Jackson's house and mine. But now I've helped plant the trees and scores of im-patiens and begonia that are in bloom. I know now that if there was enough room, you could plant a corn crop." THESE TWO, Mrs. Gregory, who lives at Benton, and Mrs. Jackson, a retired Detroit bank employee, say they believe other elderly residents will overcome any misgivings they might have about the appearance after helping out on the volunteer weekend working parties.

WERLE POINTED out that this occurred because of the nature of passive solar heating. The windows, placed high on the south side, admit the maximum amount of sun in winter, but because of the angle of admission, accept only the barest minimum of summer The interior of the building has two rows of single bedroom apartments divided by a 24-foot atrium, one half of which is sloped earth. This allows the atrium to stay in partial shade most of any summer day and to get maximum sun in January and February. Specially designed drafts stimulate a constant cooling air movement for most of what, outside, is a hot, drippy summer's day.
