Planning Commission. who declared
"a housing shortage was certain and
would have to be met primarily by
private enterprise, He added that
public agencies would have to supply
homes for the lowest income groups.
Zoning should go beyond the con-
troll of the use of land and the
amount of it that may be occupied
by buildings. and should include
some control over the density of
population" Gen. Grant said.
Mistakes Of the Past.
He emphasized that the cost of
slum clearance is due to our hav-
ing allowed the unfavorable condi-
tions to arise and exist When
you talk today about this cost. it is
necessary to keep vividly in mind
that the mistakes of the past are
what you are paying for"

be social as well as economical, Gen.
Grant said it is necessary more than
ever to provide conditions that will
make good and useful citizens OF
the coming generation, and save the
