North brook "THERE should be no excuse for deterioration and blight in housing in any sector of our society," Waner said. "Specifically, here in Illinois, the authority to raise mortgage fund pools is already vested in the local governments. A collective effort and dedication on all our parts is sadly needed. "The community groups, which for the last two and a half years have swamped our office with objections to subsidized housing programs and FHA activity that they claim are detrimental to their neighborhoods, should be made aware also that only by rebuilding the inner cities and making a surplus of quality housing available can we hope to reverse the expansion of declining areas and segregation." Waner predicted that the money derived from the sale of state, county, and city bonds for low-interest mortgages also would provide thousands of additional jobs within the city. "The restoration of our cities would bring new Industries, which in conjunction with housing would produce new revenue to increase the amenities," he said.

"It would improve the quality of the educational system and increase the necessary services to the area, such as police and fire protection, which become more and more in demand as an area falls apart." PRIVATE lending Institutions, Waner said, have shown that they either cannot or will not cope with the problems in the inner cities. "Time has proven they have no interest in the Inner city, but rather choose to make loans available in areas where risk is virtually eliminated, even tho their depositors are guaranteed against any losses by federal deposit insurance," he said. "They have failed to do the job," he added. "It is time government stepped In. The only question left to be answered is do the state, county, and city governments have the will?" said.

Therefore, mortgages written at about six per cent would allow local governments to acquire enough money1 to cover administrative costs of handling the mortgages. At 6 per cent, loans would be below the state's usury ceiling of 8 per cent for conventional loans and below the current 7 per cent rate for Federal Housing Administration FHA loans. "We at HUD would insure these mortgages, so it wouldn't cost the taxpayers one additional cent to make this money available to urban centers thruout the state," Waner said. "FHA insurance regulations call for making mortgage insurance available to any mortgagee making mortgages up to per cent." The State of Illinois, thru the Illinois Housing Development Authority IHDA has a bonding capacity of $500 million which could be used to form a pool of mortgage money to be made available at low interest rates to inner-city residents, he said. Mb By Stanley Ziemba DEPARTMENT of Housing and Urban Development officials here are urging local governments to provide inner-city residents with low-interest loans for new housing and home rehabilitation.

John L. Waner, HUD's Chicago-area director, said state, county, and city government have the authority to sell bonds to create pools of mortgage money for below maximum interest rate mortgages to rehabilitate and renew inner-city areas. With the shortage of conventional mortgage funds and the curtailment of federally subsidized housing programs, local governments may be the only place inner-city residents can turn to improve living conditions in their area, he said. He warned that unless help from local governments is forthcoming, there will be more abandonment and deterioration of inner-city housing. INTEREST rates on government bonds have been running about five per cent, Waner 2 Convenient Locations 859 W.

Free Public Exhibition THE HILL has been there for many years, said Al Hy-man, special facilities manager for the Evanston Recreation Department. But this is the first time it will be used for skiing. Only recently the Evanston City Council allocated $28,000 to equip the hill with two ski slopes, snow machine, rope tow, and two toboggan runs. A season of skiing on "Mount Trashmore" will cost $6 for Evanston residents and $10 for nonresidents, he said. The Lombard Park District has operated a toboggan slope for four years on a garbage mountain in Sunset Knoll.

However, it will be made of Vk million cubic yards of earth dredged from a nearby reservoir instead of garbage. The Elk Grove Village hill won't be for skiing for a few years, he said. But the district operates the following facilities for tobogganing enthusiasts: SIX CHUTES at the Swallow Cliff Winter Sports Area at Mannheim Road and 111. Hwy. 83 near Palos Heights.

Two chutes in the Dan Ryan Woods at 87th Street and Western Avenue. Two chutes at Bemls Woods South on Ogden Avenue, a quarter-mile west of Wolf Road near La Grange. Four chutes at the Jensen Slides at Milwaukee and Devon Avenues. By Jack Fuller THE IDEA of skiing on snow-covered plains around Chicago may sound like a lot of garbage. But the Du Page County forest preserve district and the City of Evanston think it's great.

Both are building ski slopes on mountains of garbage. Three million cubic yards of garbage and clay have gone into Mt. Hoy, a 150-foot hill in the Blackwell Recreational Preserve just north of Warren-ville in Du Page County. "Garbage is just a resource out of place," said John Sheaf-fer, a Chicog waste consultant who collaborated on the design of Mt. Hoy.

"We found a way to put the garbage to good use out there. Now the hill is a very dramatic thing." THE GARBAGE Is sealed in layers of clay so water will not seep thru it and contaminate the area's water supply, Sheaffer said. "The same thing could be done in Chicago, if people would realize that garbage is a means to an end and not an end in itself," Sheaffer said. The end is in sight for Mt. Hoy.

By next winter, according to George Bottoms, superintendent of engineering for the forest preserve district, the hill will be fitted with four ski slopes, a snow machine, a chair lift, and a rope tow. It also will have two toboggan slides. Evanston's ski season will open about Dec. 22 on a 60-foot high hill of garbage in James Park, Dodge Avenue and Oak-ton Street. tSJ W- COAT SALON I The Cook County Forest i Preserye District plans to build a "mountain" similar to I Mt.
