ON HUGE SCALE
Four Billion Dollar Slum
Clearance Projects Out
lined by Officials Last
ing Benefits Are Seen
NEW YORK. (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."
