For Gudrdsmen

Legislation that will provid e
protection for families of national
guardsmen and naval reservistS
now in active service is being ad-
vocated by Col Robert +. Glenn,
m IN Der of the state military
board.
Colonel Glenn said that World
War legislation. which provided
monthly payments of $50 TO wives
of service men and an additional
$3.50 for each child still is in
effect. But no money has been
appropriated to make the pay
ments possible and the law was
inadequate, costly and improperly
administered, he said.

federal obligation because the

To Get
SIunl Plan

Facts and figures on the pro-
posed job of rehabilitating De-
troit's slum districts will be
presented to Mayor Edward ].
Jeffries' blight committee on
Thursday by George +. Emery,
city planner.
Emery has prepared plans, fol-
lowing a survey of the worst sec
tions. that call for Slum clearances
on both east and west side. The
east side district is an area of
approximately 20 square blocks
bounded by Larned. Monroe. Hast
ings and Dequindre streets. The
west side is about II square blocks
bounded by Bagley avenue. How
ard street. Trumbull avenue and
Sixth street.
In readiness for the committees
study, Emery has prepared de-
tailed explanation of why these
areas were chosen. their present
value and the amount necessary
for construction and maintenance
costs.
The committee will be asked to
decide what subsidy will be needed
to make the project reasonably
profitable to private investors.
Emery's recommendation calls
for the erection of ZOOS dwelling
units in the east side area, of
which 234 would be apartments
and TIA row houses. On the west
side Emery has a project calling
for 1855 dwelling units of which
100 would be apartments and PCS
row houses.
Tentative cost of building. equip
ping and landScaping is set at APP
proximately S4.673,000. or about
$4,000 a dwelling unit and at that
cost it will be necessary TO rent
rooms at between SIT and SIS a
month in order 10 obtain a 6 per
cent return on the invested
capital.

S12 Month Home
: lobe Debated
By Council

Faced with an acute housing
shortage In Detroit. the Common
Council will be asked today to
embark on large scale program
Ito build 81 800 homes for relief
and low income families.
The plan is the outgrowth of
the work of the council rent in
vestigating committee and will be
patterned in part after the Fort
Wayne, Ind. experiment in build
ing prefabricated houses for $500
with WPA labor.
Council President John w.
Smith, chairman of the committee,
will ask that city housing and
planning experts start work i'm
mediately.
THOSE IN CHARGE
For this job the rent committee
has suggested Jan Schmedding,
head of the paving division of the
DPW; George F. Emery. city plan
ner; Charles B. McGrew. engineer
of the housing commission, and
Joseph p. Wolff. commissioner of
buildings and safety engineering.
The committee is aiming at a
house which can be financed under
an FILA mortgage over a 27-year
period and will be rented for be-
tween $12 and SIS a month. Plans
call for one-bedroom. two-bedroom
and three-bedroom units.
The houses are to be built on
tax delinquent land of which the
city will have the opportunity to
acquire $4,000 parcels at the scav-
enger tax sale starting next month.
Work would start as soon as
the weather breaks in March or
April. Construction time is not ex-
pected to take more than 80 days
for the first units.
5000 A YEAR
Councilman John Hamilton will
ask council TO construct mimi
mum of 5000 houses a year.
If council approves the $500
house building program, the city
will be sponsoring three housing
programs all enlisted in the war on
the SlumS.
The other two are:
The regular federally spon-
sored projects of the Detroit
Housing Commission which have
resulted in Brewster and Park
side projects and will eventually
provide space for 1920 families
in II projects.
A program for clearing up
the so called "blighted area"
within the Grand boulevard be-
ing outlined by Mayor Edward
j. Jeffries' blight committee.
Private corporations would be
given concessions by the city and
would produce apartments for
medium and high income group
families which would rent for
between $50 and $50 month

typical American trait Of attempting
to solve difflculties after they pre-

to eliminate them before they arise,

his talk members questioned Capt.
Whitehurst in an open forum.
