Good City Housekeeping


, In his message on the New York
City budget for capital expenditures,
Mayor La Guardia calls to the at
tention of the City Planning Com
mission the fact that entire Sec
tions of the city have been woefully
neglected because of the need of pro-
viding new facilities caused by shifts
of population" He recommends that
before opening new sections of our
city it is necessary that we pause
for a while and improve, rehabilitate
and reconstruct the vast area of our
city now developed and settled"
There is a thought here that
should receive more attention from
all city planners, including our own.
For many years we have been spend
ing relatively large sums for the
purchase of new sites for parks and
Fairgrounds, schools and other IA
cilities to accommodate new develop
ment In outlying sections Most of
that expenditure has been necessary.
1t has not been merely quetsion of
deciding where the money should go.
But in Washington, as in other
cities, the funds needed to extend
facilities to the outlying communi-
ties have deprived larger and older
sections of the city of the improve
ments they should have had. If in
future there could be an established
policy of setting aside as much
money as possible in rehabilitating
older sections of the city, even at
the expense of delay for the newly
developed communities, we would at
least retard their deterioration into
"blighted areas which depress
property values, deprive residents of
their rightful needs and create the
shabbiness and rundown at the
heels condition associated with
slumS
The Park and Planning Commits
sion has not been deliberately neg
lectful in this respect. Our popula-
for capital expenditures have been
so strictly limited, that it has been
difficult to keep pace with new
growth alone. The proposal to in
clude in next years budget funds
for purchase of three new sites for
playground areas in the crowded
midcity section and the completed
purchase of improved property for
eventual reconstruction as recrea-
ton areas, are steps in the right di-
rection. Plans of the National Capt.
tai Housing Authority for elimina-
ton of slum areas would mean, at
the same time, the conversion of
those areas, either for new housing
Or some other appropriate use. More
thought undoubtedly should be given
to the replacement of obsolete school
buildings, condemned but still in
use, and the acquisition of land sur
rounding them to provide adequate
play space.
The trend in city growth has been
continued expansion. But city plan
ming In the future undoubtedly will
give as much attention to the ade-
quate maintenance and improve
ment Of old sections as to the new
ones. That must be done if we are
to escape the infectious consequences
of permitting whole sections of the
city to deteriorate in the race to keep
up with what is new.

On the

Far more intelligent and equi-
table. i'm our opinion, than any of
the "tax forgiveness" plans sub
mitted TO date is a proposal of
Frank Hackett, general manager
of the Good Housekeeping Shop
of Detroit.
The "Hackett Plan" has the
advantage of simplicity and the
added merit OF doing the most
forgiving for the little fellow
who most needs the break.
It calls for three distinct
moves:
Forgive all 1912 taxes.
because the forgiven tax

Actually a Gift

II should hp noted that where
an individuals income increases
the amount Of tax forgiven and
added To the taxpayers income,
il added TO the top bracket and
the maximum tax paid on the
amount.
There really IS n sound basic
reason for treating the forgiven
sum I'm this manner. Actually
the government is making The
taxpayer a gift of his back
taxes. and. as with any other
gift. this should be treated as
normal income. The result:
greater revenues for the govern
r1ent and a fair degree of for
giveness for all taxpayers.
