(UP) Plans for a nation-wide rebuilding of city alums, Involving an estimated expenditure of 14,000,000,000 in more than 300 American cities, hare been outlined by various governmental 'and local authorities through a symposium In Collier's Weekiy. . Secretary of the Interior Ickes, In a statement outlining the purpose of the Emergency Housing corporation, says: "We hope to speed up housing In localities where private and public bodies are having difficulty vgettin3 started. We cannot wait for sluggard local governments, often handicapped by local real estate dealers with no vision. The corporation will lend money to ' any private corporation which will undertaxe to clear away slums or build houses at low cost. It will lend to cities, states or coun ties for the same purpose. Where private corporations or cities cannot raise the necessary equities, the cor poration will do the Job alone buy the land, make the plans, engage the contractors, supply the money and operate the apartments when bulit.' Atlanta will use ft3.000.000 on a 2.000-room project; Cincinnati has al ready secured Washington's approval on an Initial 82.400,000 project; In dianapolis has received approval for a 95,000,000 plan, and Cleveland for one Involving 14,000,000. Mayor LsGuardla of New York an nounces that he will take all the money he can get from the govern ment corporation. "I mean business about housing," he stated. "In face. It Is going to be the chief point In my sdmlnlstratlon. Every dollar the government puts into bousing will be sound investment. If landowners and mortgage holders refuse to sell at the proper prloes, I will outlaw their properties. I will not hesitate to condemn these places and end their careers as homes." Robert D. Kohn, head of the gov ernment's Emergency Housing cor poration, says: Tne program will cover the coun try. ' Every town can be a part of our plans. Big cities like New York. Cleveland and Chicago have great plans afoot. But smaller cities as well will feel the stimulus of thU Immense national enterprise. Even the faraway Virgin Island will get their share. Over 300 cities have already brought their plans to us. Everywhere towns are studying thrlr problems." Secretary Harold L. Ickes. public works administrator, supplies details of the financial arrangements. '.No one Is going to swindle the govern ment by charging extortionate price for land." he states, "We will py fair prices and no more. If the land owners try to hold us up, we have the power of eminent domain under the National Recovery Act, and we mean business." John T. Plynn, business economist, sums, up the economic soundness of the whole project by stating: "Slums are one luxury that we've got to get rid of. Our cities and towns are In no position to go on supporting them In the expensive decay to which they are accustomed. So the federal gov ernment is taking a hand. It Is a boon to the taxpayer and a boon to Industry. In fact, It Is a break for everybody. The whole' project is a great clllzed social enterprise which Is economically sound. It will bring lasting benefits to every city In the land." Special Communcatlon o: Medford lodge No. 103. A F. & A. M., Friday. Feb. 2nf at 7:30 p. m.
