CHICAGO LAUNCHES
HOUSING PROGRAM
Ideal American City Aim of
Mayor Kelly in Replacing
Old Dwellings.
snecial DISPATCH 10 The star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
CHICAGO. July 2l.-Chicago is
launched on a program of better
housing that from the start will tend
to eliminate "blighted area" of
buildings that are in partial or COM
plete decadence and that in the
end will provide a nearly ideal city
with all residences at or above a
wholesome American standard OF
living.
Mayor Edward ]. Kelly did the
first work With scores of prominent
officials looking on. he sank a silver
pickax into a brick wall at 1850
Federal street. 1t was the start of
the demolition of the building which
age had reduced to a point below
the safety line for residence or
business. Nearly 1000 buildings are
in the same classification and are
scheduled TO come down. They will
be replaced either with Handicapped
area or with new buildings, erected
to a high standard and in harmony
with general plan for the entire
city.
The work is being undertaken by
three agencies-the Metropolitan
Housing Council. the Illinois State
Housing Board and the Federal
Public Works Emergency Housing
Corporation. Preliminary work was
started two years ago when the
Illinois State Housing Board made a
survey of Chicago housing. 1t re-
vealed a "blighted area" This terri
tory is between the central business
district and the better residence
areas toward the outskirts of the
city.
