The application to the Federal Disaster Assistance Administration of the Department of Housing and Urban Development was signed by Glen J. Hopkins, deputy city manager. It said $195,000 has been spent to date on eligible work and estimated that $305,000 would be spent in the next 60 days. A supplemental application for more money is to be submitted in about two weeks.
