(UP) The fed eral government ts rcsdy to give Kan sas City $t,000,000 for & slum clear ance project, but It appears the offer XfiM be rejected. Both the democratic ty administration and the real es tate board are opposed. A. E. Hutchings, chairman of the committee sponsoring the slum pro ject, and ministers are urging accept ance of the offer to clear the city's substandard houses and provide new, cheep, improved dwellings. The statement of H. F. McElroy. city manager, that there are no slums in Kansas City and that it "would be a waste of public money, to elim inate something that does not exist." brought a sharp rejoiner from Hutch- ; tngs. ) Modern Facilities Lacking ; A survey, he said, showed there were 8,000 houses here without mod- I era plumbing, 23,000 families do not j enjoy the use of adequate plumbing, 0,000 houses do not have running j " water, and that at least 1,000 houses are unsanitary. "Other cities and towns are beg ging for government aid to clean up their slum districts, but here the of fer is rejected because the city. ad- j ministration and the real estate board j contends tt would work a hardship on property owners who bear the j greatest portion of taxation, he said. "However, holders of real estate thould realize that such slum areas are costly to the city and the income from them is small, and that here the real hardship ia worked upon ) property owners." j Blamed for Immorality-' j Disease, immorality and delinquen- j cy go hand in hand with uch dis- . tricta. Hutchings said surveys show. Locally, he said, it was found that in 5 per cent of the city's area, where j 16 per cent of the population lives, j 40 per cent of juvenile delinquencies j occur and 40 per cent of tee city's-j tuberculosis cases exist. Immorality, I he said, ia traced to overcrowded con ditions. Presenting the real estate board's aide of the controversy Byron T, Schutz. president of the organization, said there are now vacant 5,235 hab itable units which rent for $15 or less a month. "Another point is that while there are many families occupying houses and apartments that are not modern, they atill would be unable to pay the rent the government would ask for its houses," Schutz said, "Many houses also areout of repair because houses also are out of repair because many vacancies exist that owners have beea unabla to make repairs " In two, roll off the table, or!
