Emphasizing the need of def1nit program for rehabilitation of blight- ed areas and for attack on poor housing, and proposing types of leg islation that would open the way to successful large-scale action under private enterprise in such a pro- gram, the National Association of Real Estate Boards opposes at this time the granting of additional ap- propriations to the United States Housing Authority. In communica- tions to the committees of congress before whom is a bill to double the present USHA $8OO,000, ,O0O fund, the association points out these things: That previously appropriated funds have not yet been spent; that while federal aid encouraging local ac- tion and opening the way to effec- tive large-scale neighborhood re- clamation could be of the greatest public service, there is no indication that the method at present being employed by the authority will sat- isfactorily solve the problems for WlllCIl lt WdS UIOuS1lI A11tO uCulBs
 Experience in 130 Cities.
 Aware of the humane motives which prompted the creation of the U. s. H. A., and feeling urgently the importance of the objectives set for its work, the association states its further feeling that no results in sight justify continuance of the present type of development and its belief that the question of means for attaining these objectiveS needs fur ther research and study.
 Through its board of directors the association has approved a report made by 8 committee which has been studying the whole problem of housing and of rehabilitation of blighted areas. The committee had before it reports from the real estate boards of 130 cities in which USHA housing projects have been planned or are in process of development.

, The report, placed in the hands of the committees of congress, rec ommends that USfIA building on lands now vacant in outlying sec- tions be avoided, and that the un- expended portion of the original USHA appropriation of $500, 1000, 900 be used for slum clearance in blighted areas. It asks that efforts be made to replace in these areas units for the accommodate of people now living in such areas.
 USHA-financed projects should pay taxes to the localities on the same basis as private ownership even though this necessitates a larg- CT subsidy, the report holds. This method would be better accounting practice and would give to the pub lie a more accurate picture of the financial operations of the projects and of the cost of the projects to the taxpayers.
 Approves Michigan Bill
 The association, by action of its directors and on recommendation of its committee after detailed study, approved in principle Michi- gan house bill No. 349. The bill would authorize the chartering of neighborhood improvement associa- tions with restricted legal powers.
 It also approved the committees recommendation that continued ef- fort be made to develop and seek nY1a ntnnnnt fnY. ctafe 1nUislo fioy, o, thorizing the chartering of public utility building corporations to op- crate in blighted or slum areas, pri- marily for the purpose of creating low-cost housing and with appro- priate safeguards for the public in- terest.
 It will seek means for the en- couragement of sound projects for renovation and rehabilitation of old houses as means of curing blight and supplying low-cost housing ac- commodationS.
