Residential population has been moving to the suburbs, and business is following its market out of town. Such a trend could make commercial "slums" out of the once-busy centers of cities. The following dispatch tells ho wone big city hopes to restore economic health t its deteriorating downtown section.

The first major attempt to do something about the St. Louis problem similar to problems confronting many cities is a scheme known as the "Plaza Project." Big Plans It will cost $30,000,000 alto gether and will turn a frowzy eight blocks east of the Union Station into a modern, airy resi dential area. There will be five blocks of apartments for 1150 middle income families and three blocks developed as a park. The Piazza Project is the brainchild of the Urban Rede velopment Corp. of St. Louis, or ganized five years ago by pri vate citizens in an effort to keep purchasing power within the city, to bolster sinking property values and to check the decay of the heart of St. Louis. Five years of surveys and planning lie behind the project. Demolition of the old buildings began last April. Everything in the eight block area except two churches was torn down. ' About $7,000,000 was pro vided by federal and city agen cies to acquire and clear the land, but the apartments will be built by private capital at a cost of more than 20-million dollars. Good Start Although St. Louis has been engaged in the slum clearance since 1935 and has built with federal funds more than 7800 housing units for low income families on the fringes of the downtown area, this is the irst privately financed redevelop ment in the city. The Plaza Project has raised the hopes of St. Louis business men that the oldest and appar ently dying sections of the city will be restored to life. Two other projects to be financed chiefly by private capital and costing more than $100,000,000 are in the planning stage one By PAUL DIX United Press Correspondent St. Louis, Mo. (U.R) Pri vate developers are spending more than $20,000,000 to make over eight square blocks oi a rundown old business district in downtown St. Louis. The aim is to create a new resi dential area right in the heart of the city. For more than 10 years busi ness men and property owners have seen the St. Louis business district go downhill. The city seemed to be suffering from its own growth. St. Louis, with a population of two million within a radius of 20 miles, is strangled by city limits imposed more than 75 years ago. There is no vacant land within the city.
