Model Ordinance Asked
To Aid Work

A model ordinance, under which
cities might proceed with demoli
tions in preparation for slum-clear-
ance projects under police power,
was proposed today at the Insti-
tute Of Municipal Law Officers at
the Mayflower Hotel.
Officials in the District of Co.
lumbia Corporation Counsel'S of,
flee and the Alley Dwelling Au-
thority, however, said the latter
agency already possessed the
power necessary to proceed with
demolitions under the slum-recla-
nation power of the alley dwell
ing authority act.
USHA PROVISION
Maurice v. Brooks, counsel for
the Alley Dwelling Authority, said
the provision of the United States
housing authority act requiring
local communities to demolish the
same number of dwelling units as
are to be constructed by the hous-
ing agency would apply under the
alley dwelling authority act. How
ever. he said, the ADA is meeting
that problem through it's own au-
thority to acquire squares contain
ing inhabited alleys and remove
the buildings.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Vernon West said no responsi.
bility fell on his office to provide
such demolitions to clear the way
for the ADA to proceed with con-
struction, although the District
did possess authority to demolish
insanitary and unsafe buildings.
City Solicitor Philip H. Hill, of
Charleston, w. Va, chairman OF
the Institutes housing committee,
said the provision of the United
States housing authority act re-
quiring demolitions placed the re-
sponsibility on city attorneys to
meet the consequent legal diff
cultieS.
He was not personally familiar
with the situation as applied to
the Alley Dwelling Authority, but
understood that the special legls.
lation here created an unusual
situation in Washington.
MODEL ORDINANCE
His committee proposed a model.
ordinance that would authorize
city governments to condemn sub
standard buildings, thus clearing
the legal path to the necessary
demolitionS. AS a result of his
own experience in obtaining $780,
900 worth of real estate for hous-
ing in his own city, he said, he
believed such an ordinance would
make possible such demolitions att
one-fourth what their acquisition
would otherwise cost.
Leon H. Keyserling, general
counsel of the United States Hons
ing Authority, discussed the
demolition problem and other legal
phases of the Housing Admins
tration's program as today's meet
