IN 1962 FEDERAL REGULATIONS WERE BROADENED TO PERMIT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE COST OF MOVING OWNERS AND TENANTS OF HOMES AND BUSINESSES. ONE OF THE PROVISIONS AFFECTING RESIDENCES WAS THAT THE REPLACEMENT PROPERTY MUST BE DECENT, SAFE, AND SANITARY. OPERATIONAL PROBLEMS ARISING FROM THIS REQUIREMENT, BOTH FOR THE ADMINISTERING STATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENTS AND FOR THE INDIVIDUALS AFFECTED, ARE DISCUSSED IN THE LIGHT OF CASE HISTORIES. OTHER TOPICS DISCUSSED ARE THE TIMEPHASING OF HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS WITH RESPECT TO TIME REQUIRED FOR RELOCATION, THE ADDITIVE TO MARKET VALUE IN CASES OF PARTIAL TAKING, PROBLEMS ARISING FROM DIFFERENTIALS IN THE VALUE OF TAKEN AND RELOCATION PROPERTY, HANDLING AD VALOREM TAXES (WHOSE BURDEN SEEMS TO DEVOLVE ON THE STATES), DETERMINATION OF BENEFITS DUE A DISPLACED PERSON WHO MOVES OR DISCONTINUES HIS BUSINESS OR FARM OPERATION, DETERMINING THE COSTS OF MOVING BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT, AND SUGGESTIONS BASED ON EXPERIENCE AS TO HOW THE PRESENT LAW CAN BE IMPROVED.
