that If interest were eliminated and amortization extended over to 50- to 6O-year period, the rental could be brought down to between $5 and $6 per room.
 Occupants would be restricted to families with monthly income of not more than five times the rent. This would serve to keep out those persons able to afford higher rent, but seeking to econo- mize.
 Instead of tearing down existing slums, Post favors building the modern low cost homes in vacant areas outside the present centers of population within the city. He estimated that 1t would be possible to purchase such land at about $1.50 a square foot, whereas in existing slum areas such as the East Side and Harlem, the cost is between $7.5O and $10 per square foot.
 One Block Renovated
 In an effort to prove that low cost housing is possible, the hous- ing authority with 8 grant of $400,o00 supplied at no interest by the EZRA, has acquired block of 22 old law tenements on Third Street and Avenue A, in the East Side, and is renovating them into modern, sanitary apartments that will rent at about $5.50 per room. Every third building is being ripped out and the plot is being transformed into garden court.
 Another development is under way in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, where workiren are raging 521 old buildings ir an area of 12 city blocks. New buildings will be constructed at a cost o1 $12,o00,000 to house 5,70O persons Only 40 per cent of land will be used for actual building, the res' will be landscaped.

.Give us S1,sOo,OoO,0 ,0OO federal money and 10 years" he said to- day, "and we'll transform New York into the most liveable city in the world"
 Tn Existence Since Revolution
 Post has no delusions about the the problem of slum eradication. Here is @ picture of the situation in New York City:
 Sums have existed in New York since pre-Revolutionary days, and one school of thought is that they are a necessary evil so long as there are rich and poor, mediocre and brilliant.
 Of New York's 299 square miles, 1T are slum areas.
 The average rent in slum dweH- ings is S5 per room per month, presenting a problem of rehous- ing these dwellers in airy, clean, decent homes with no increase in rent.
 Approximately 1,sOO,ooo persons are slum dwellers.
 Harlem More Crowded
 s.These are cold facts when viewed on paper" Post said. But take a visit to Harlem where the population per acre is 752. So acute is the crowding there that beds are used in three shifts and several families live in one flat. Or wander through the narrow, teem- ing streets of the East Side on a hot summers night. The tene- ment houses, many simply fire traps, tower canyon-like above the crowded sidewalks, shutting out nearly every last breath of air. In- side are airless rooms, some with out windows, nearly all of them small, unsanitary, foul.
 Tt is not a pretty or romantic picture. It Is a shameful monu- ment to remind us of our callous indifference. For not at any time during the past hundred years has an effort been made to pro- vide decent homes for the millions who stand in the greatest need Of them"
 Full Program Prepared
 The time is at hand, Post be- lieves, to definitely, once and for all, remedy this situation. The ho,sing authority has prepared a program which 1t belieevs Is the answer to the slum question.
 Under this program $150,000,- 900 annually would be spent for ten years. Broken down, this is tho way 1t would be expended:
 Cost of building one modern room, $1,000.
 Cost of land per room, $500.
 Cost of operating apartment building (per room), $35.
 Interest on construction and land costs at 2 per cent, $30 per annum.
 Amortization over 4o-year pe- riod (per room), $30.
 Taxes and incidentals per an- mum per room, $5.
 Cost Must Be Reduced
 This, according to Post, would bring the rental of each room, without profit, to $S.25. beyond the means of the average slum dwell- CT. It is his contention, however.
