The backward trend of building oper-

better sanitation and better social en-

Pointing out that slum clearance is
one of the major factors in the recov-

Administration, he declared:
Cities infested with sluns will have
no alibis to offer if they do not assume
the initiative by appealing for Federal
aid. A certain portion of the $780,

for this neglected phase of building
construction. The money is available
where harmonious relations exist among
property owners of the afflicted districts
who have banded together for the re-
juvenation of their neighborhoods.
Federal loans are amortized over 30
year period. Ample time is allowed for
repayment of such obligations in 33
annual installments, at an interest rate
of Isl per cent, beginning two years
