Private Rebuilding
Of BIighted Areas
Urged at Session
Construction Conference
Stages Lively Debate
On Governments Role

A lively round table discussion for
low-income groups. with advocates
of public and private sponsored
projects taking off their gloves"
for the debate. was one Of the clos
ing events of the two-day Construc-
tion Industry Conference last night.
The meeting, sponsored by the
Construction and Civic Development
Department Committee of the
United States Chamber of Com
MERGE and national trade associa-
tions in the construction field.
opened with an illustrated talk on
rehabilitation of blighted areas in
Philadelphia by Arthur w. Binns,
realtor.
At the outset, Mr.. Binns made
It clear that he was against an ex-
tension of the work of the United
States Housing Authority. What
he advocated, he said, was a pri-
vate development company that
would go into blighted areas and
carry out a program based On the
following: Make possible land as
sembly by powers of eminent do
main, set up sound financial
structure, and move tenants into
home ownership.
U. S. Would Help Finance.
The Federal Government, under
his proposal, would aid in financing
and act as Junior" partner in the
whole plan. Rehabilitation OF
houses to whatever extent they
needed repairs and provision Of
plenty of open spaces" in the neigh.
borhood were among the main
points in the development.
On slides, he showed what he had
done privately in Philadelphia. He
was complimented on his public
spirit, but several in the room
doubted that many others In the
private field possessed similar vir-
tues.
John Ihlder. executive director OF
Washington's Alley Dwelling Author
ity, took issue with the idea OF eX-
ercising the right of eminent domain
for development company whose
prime motive was profit. He also
doubted an estimate put forth by
Mr.. Binns that the houses would cost
the tenant only s25 a month in pay
ments which at the end OF 20 years
would give him title to the property
The houses would be five or six room
structures.
Gives Fighting" Slogan.
Before Mr.. Binns finished, how
ever, he got in couple of good licks
for his plan and threw this idea at
the assembly:
"A man will not fight for his board
ing house-he will for his home"
One member of the audience in
terrupted to ask If labor standards
and high wages were not something
to fight for and, although Mr.. Binns
did not take issue with the implica-
ton in the question, another did.
He was Col William Taylor of Phil
adelphia, resident of Paris, France

The factory laborer who shifts
about from city to city is bad
citizen" said Col. Taylor, adding
that the problem of turning such
people into hcmeowners was one Of
most pressing problems Of Europe.
The homeowners are the only
ones who fight" he declared.
The discussion, before 1t ended,
angled off into hooks and crannies
of the housing problem, from q pro-
posal to after the whole tax struc-
ture Of the Nation, especially on real
estate, to that OF abolishing streets
to provide Fairgrounds for children
in slum areas.
Mr.. Binns said he saw private
enterprise as the only complete
answer to the housing problem.
