ing falling off in tax assessed val
ues of some $3.50 This is only
about thr%ee-fourths of one per cent
of the city's assessed values and
less than ,one-half of one per cent
of the county's values.
1 think the fact that such an in.
finitesimal cost in tax depreciation
will result from the erection of the
housing projects raises the fair
question whether those who pro-
pose to tax the projects are &C.
tually interested in securing mere
equal treatment for all property
or whether their real interest lies
in protecting their w Stun prop
erty or the property of those whom
they represent. This deduction seems
logical for the reason that no pub
lie spirited citizen could object tt
a sacrifice of a fraction of one
per cent of the tax values as the
price of enormously elevating the
living standards of some 1000 per-
sons in the city.
1t, is my own opinion that the
above picture Of tax losses puts
the housing projects in about the
worse possible light. 1t does not
take account of the fact that for
mer owners of the property within
our sites ere not actually paying
their taxes at all; nor do a great
many of the owners of the rental
property from which tenants will
move into the projects. The assess
ed value Of the two sites as stated
was $126, 000. At $3.50 per 500, the
normal annual tax yield would
have been about $4,000. Actually
we found on taking title to the
various parcels of land that some
owners had not paid their taxes
for as far back as ten or fifteen
years; md on the two sites COM
city and county taxes were delin-
bined more than four full years OF
quent. 1 do not know the delin'
quent tax story as to properties in
| which the future tenants Of the
projects now reside, but I am sure
it is not basically different from
the situation recited above. There
fore, II actual collections neither
the city nor the county can be con-
sidered to have lost any substantial
amount by the erection of the hous-
ing projects.
1t is only fair that notice be
taken also of the increase in value
that will accrue to property i'm
mediately surrounding the projects
and of the improvement in the
general values that will result from
the removal Of a large number OF
substandard dwelling units. Furth.

that you, who have been so warm
an enthusiast for public housing,
could take the position that those
genuinely in need should be ignored
through the imposition of taxes on
the projects while those much less
in need are accommodated.
You are, of course, familiar with
the fact that housing projects unde,
the USHA housing program are sub
sidized in two ways:
l. Locally through tax exemption,
2. By the Federal government in
the form of an annual subsidy.
1t is just as reasonable to con,
tend that both forms of subsidy
should be wiped out if we are going
to contend that either should be.
The only difference between the two
forms of subsidy is the difference
between the agencies through whom
they are derived. In both cases they
are forms of public assistance in
the worthwhile endeavor to build up
and improve the environment OF
those whose income does not permit
them to achieve such an elevated
environment through their own eff.
forts. By removing the Federal sub
sidy as well as local tax exemption,
we could achieve a condition in
which a rental of around $40 to $25
per month would be charged for
shelter alone in the projects, but
think you will agree with me that
it is extremely doubtful whether
any property owner or any real es
tate operator in Wilmington would
be very happy owe such a consum'
nation.
Let us consider briefly the actual
extent of tax loss to the city anl
county resulting from. the erection
Of the housing projects.
You will recall that the assessed
value of the two sites which we
bought was $126, 900. There resided
on the two sites some 1875 families
The projects, when completed will
house 462 families, Or 337 more
than formerly lived in the same
areas. To ascertain the true extent
Of depreciation Of tax values, II
will be necessary to assume some
formula for the decline in the val.
ue of other property occasioned by
the removal into the projects Of
337 more families than formerly liv.
ed in. these areas. In discussing
this subject heretofore, I have as
sumed an average decline of $40t
for each house and lot from which
such a family moved. I do moi
know whether this will turn out
to be too great or too small a fig
ure, but some figure must be ap.
piled. At $500 each, there would bt
a total decline for the 1897 families
of about s136. 900. Add this to the
1925, 900 tax value Of the two sites
when bought and there is a result
