N. Y. MOVES TO
WRECK WORLDS
WORST SLUMS
Plan for New 20 Block
Square, LoW-PriCe Home
Project Ready.
BY DELOS SMITH
United Press STAFF CORRESPONDENT

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-Manhattan
realty marts, lethargic since the 1929
stock market crash, q~uickened in
new life today.
The stimulant was the definite an
nouncement that Manhattan's most
cherished decentralization of some
of the worlds worst slums-was at
last in final and complete form.
Among that group of idealists and
dreamers, in which is included Al
fred E. Smith, who have long
worked for the wiping out of the
slum districts. There were fervent
hopes that dreams at last were to
be realized.
Build 20 New Blocks
Other groups saw the possibilities
of fortune in the real estate activ-
tiles a giant project would entail,
and were specializing busily ON its
site.
Maurice Deutsch. engineer and
architect who has devoted years to
studying low cost modern housing.
announced he had placed complete
plans for a twenty city block project
/. envolving expenditures of $23, SIS 1000
before the state board of housing,
and the Young committee of bank
ing and industry. These organiza-
tons were consulting with the Re-
construction Finance Corporation,
he said.
Deutsch's plans call for twenty
city blocks of four-story freproof
apartment houses to replace twenty
blocks of Slums.
Using new materials and speci-
f1cations, "a new technology in con-
struction and operation, and new
methods of financing" rentals would
range from Sc to $12 a room a
month.
Speculate on Site
Deutsch would add nothing more
to that statement. Reports circu-
lating in New York financial circles
for several weeks have said the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
would lend a large sum to finance a
large Manhattan housing project.
There was no hint of the location
of the site Deutsch had chosen. If
there had been, realty prices would
have shot up overnight, making the
project impossible. Low rentals
depend largely on acquiring sites at
reasonable figures.
Astute realty men declared that
the sites probably already had been
acquired.

WAR OPENS ON
STATES PUBLIC
SERVICE BOARD
Abolish Present Setup, Cry
of Legislators and
Utility Patrons.
BY N NJ. KIDNEY

Abolish the present public serv-
Ice commission set up in 1888"
That is the campaign cry sound
ed today by a majority of the $50
special session legislators and
backed by a chorus of hundreds of
thousands of Indiana utility pa
irons.
It arises directly from Governor
Harry G. LeSlie'S refusal to sign the
municipal ownership bills passed by
the special session of the legislature
by overwhelming majorities.
Blame for the pocket veto of the
mouse bill, which had been corrected
TO overcome objections found bv the
encouragement IL a similar SEN
ate measure, was placed directly on
the shoulders of public service COM
mission members.
Blamed on Commission
1 have learned that the state
ment issued by Leslie in announcing
veto OF the house municipal wner-
snip bill was dictated largely bv
howell Ills and Ralp Young of the
public service commission jap
Jones, director of the Municipal
Rights League, which sponsored the
bills, charged today.
Such being the case, it is OBJ
vlouS that all avanueS of relief from
nigh rates are closed unless the
1888 legislature abolishes the public
service commission as now con-
Stituted.
In its place should be substi-
tuted a commission with only ap-
pellalte powers, either elected di-
rectly or appointed by the Gov
ernor with senate approval.
Balk Will of People
Not satiSfd with keeping util-
lty rates up during the last three
years, when everything else has
been reduced, the present commits
sioners have taken it upon them
selves to checkmate the will of the
rate payers, as expressed through
their legislators.
Such intolerable conduct can not
be allowed to continue.
Since this commission control is a
failure, so far as any substantial
rate reductions in times of depres-
sion is concerned, why perpetuate
the body as now constituted, merely
to Interfere wit hthe peoples will
and substitute dictatorship for
democracy"
This sentiment was seconded by
several members of both the house
and senate.
The league fostering tie bills is
supporte by mayors and other city
officials throughout the state.
