BuiIt-in Resistance

San Francisco-You know,
I'm sure. that the cultures Of
San Francisco and New York
are quite similar-and I can't
count the times 1 have heard
my food-theater -art-muSic low
ing friends back home say, If
I couldn't live in New York,
San Francisco would be my
second choice. What a worldly
city it is: the restaurants. the
sophistication."
But few of you. I'll wager,
realize that on the economic
front the cities have a lot in
common too. And right now,
it's a happy similarity.
For both cities are in the
heart of regions that are less
dependent on manufacturing
activities for jobs and pay
checks than most other major
areas of the Nation, both have
a larger percentage of jobs in
the trades and services than
other sections.
Jobs in trades and services
are always more stable than
jobs in manufacturing. A
worker in a factory will feel a
business downturn faster than
a worker in a bank or service
outfit. 4
"Built-in" Resistance
This means that both regions
have a "built-in" resistance to
recession in such vital tields OF
manufacturing as autos, appli-
ances.
In the entire region of the
West, this resistance is now
being demonstrated. 1t is a
key aspect of the economy
here. And it is a resistance
which disappears only when
the Federal Government itself
sends the economy into a
downswing by stretching out or
canoeing contracts in the inn
portant aircraft and related
industries.
Never before in my trips
to the far West have I felt it
so sharply-the high vulner-
ability Of the Western states
to changes in government
spending. the comparative in
vulnerability Of the region to
changes in private business
elsewhere.
Here are a few statistics
which the Federal Reserve
Bank Of San Francisco has Just
collected. which tell the tale.
In the nation as a whole, 81
per cent Of all incomes come
from government and farm
sources. In the Western states,
"a per cent Of the incomes
come from government and
farms.
Nationally, we get AZ per
cent Of our incomes from the
manufacturing. mining and
construction industries. In this
section. income payments from
these industries come to 36
per cent.
In the country generally,
manufacturing alone contrib
utes 80 per cent Of private nom
farm incomes. Here. in the
West. manufacturing contrib
utes only 26 per cent Of private
non-farm incomes.

good and bad hou:ing in this
project and because of other ex-
listing blighting conditions, COM
bination of clearance and reha-
bilitations were first brought to
the attention of the city by a
Health Department survey in 1949
which designated the area as one
of the eight slum and blighted
sections in the city of Little
Rock.
Planning details have been
devised with a thoughtful eye
to the rights of the individual
property owners. Every effort has
been made to devise plan which
will inconvenience as few resi-
dents as possible, will establish
stability in the neighborhood, and
will excite interest on the part
of residents and property owners.
Some of the assumptions upon
which the plan is based are:
/. Little Rock is in dire need OF
good middle-ciass, single family
/ residential neighborhoods availa-
BILE to Negroes.
2. The project area is well suited
for single family residential use,
especially when the elimination OF
bad housing is accomplished and
good planning stabilizes the pro-
posed uses.
3. The control Of planned park
ing for the Livestock show
grounds would relieve fears by
the residents of encroachment up-
on them by the show grounds.
4. The existing commercial tacl-
lities along with avenue occupy
sufficient space for proper service
to the area, but should be more
efficiently designd with addition
al spaces for parking.
5. Existing streets and drainage
facilities are completely made
quate to serve the area properly

Urban League Makes Report

Excerpts from the final project
report of the Little Rock Hous-
ing Authority on Urban Renewal
Plans for Livestock Area,
March 1858
The Livestock show area,
roughly bounded by Wright ave-
nue. on the north, Park avenue
on the east, Roosevelt road on
the south, and Thayer street on
the west, is an area selected by
the Little Rock Housing Authori-
ty for urban renewal.
In the past the urban League
of Greater Little Rock has spon-
sored neighborhood meetings in
the area and invited officials of
the Housing Authority to explain
its plans to the citizens, and how
the plans will affect them. The
Urban League is not sponsoring
this project It's interest IS to
provide factual informstion to
residents and property owners.
In keeping with that interest
the Urban League presents the
following excerpts from the Fin
al Project report of the Little
Rock Housing Authority on Ur-
ban Renewal plans for Livestock
area, March 1858:
On January 80, 1857 the Metro
politan Area Planning commits
sion of Pulaski county approved
and adopted a Preliminary Deve-
lopment plan for Pulaski county
including Little Rock and North
Little Rock. On March 81, 1887
the Little Rock Planning commits
sion approved the Preliminary
Development plan for Pulaski
county with respect to Little
Rock as a general guide for re-
ference and use by the city. The
Urban Renewal plan herein IS IN
confornance with the general
recommendations set forth in the
Preliminary Development plan to
preserve the predominantly resi-
dental character of this neigh
borhood, by eliminating all sub
standard structures, by develop
ing a modern street pattern with
paved streets an curbs and gut
1ers, and by installing a storm
drainage system.
The Urban Renewal Project
area, which CONSISTS roughly OF
so acres, and is more Familiarity
known as Adams addition to the
City of Little Rock, is divided IN
to two specific sections designat-
ed: Area DECENTRALIZATION, con-
servation, and spot clearance and
redevelopment Area "C"-total
clearance and redevelopment
A structure and condition sur
vey undertaken by the Authorl-
tvs engineers, showed that APP
proximatly 80 per cent OF the
structures in the area are sub
standard, while approximately 81
percent are in a deterioratlng
condition. The remaining IL pei
gent are considered standard.

ton and land disposition will be
carried on under the supervision
of the Authority.
In Area "B" land is designated
primarily for single family resi-
dental use. All properties which
are not feasible of rehabilitation
and which may not be repaired,
restored and maintained in the
manner proposed by the provi-
sions of the Supplemental Bill
Of Assurance may be acquired by
the Authority. In addition, GER
tain other property as needed for
the proper development of the
proposed street pattern and ex-
ecatlon of the plan will be ae-
quired, and structures will be
moved or demolished depending
on the economic feasibility as
determined by the Authority.
Major drainage facilities will
be installed to properly handle
the natural drainage flow persent-
ly cutting through the area in
open bitches. The bitches will
be filled to make the topography
adaptable for development.
Streets which are to be closed
and vacated will revert to the
adjacent property owners. All ex-
listing alleys which are open
rights-of-way will be closed and
the land will revert to the pro-
perty owners for their use, ex-
cept that in each case utility
easements will be retained.
In Ar7a c. land will be sold
to single redeveloper for use
as parking for the Arkansas
Livestock show grounds. Recrea-
tional uses in this area will be
permitted by the plan which may
include a Little League Baseball
park and football field, tennis
courts, basketball courts, wEding
pool, swings, slides and ground
activities with portable equip
ment which would not interfere
with the parking capacity during
the annual Livestock exhibition
show, presently about ten days a
year.
In accordance with good plan
ming practice the Renewal plan
aids definite local detectives be-
cause:
/. 1t makes possible the develop
ment of traffic pattern
which would facilitate the flow
of traffic to and from the Live
stock show area during periods
of major activity.
2. 1t provides the continuation OF
single family residence IN the
major part of the neighborhsood
which is already predominant
ly single fFmily In use and
! substantially improves the en-
tire neighborhood environment.
8. 1t provides for the develop
ment- of a modern street pat
tern of completely paved streets
with curbs and cutters.
4. It provides for the enclosure
of open drainage now running
through the area, causing a
| deteriorating condition.
| s. 1t makes possible the installa-
| ton of small neighborhood
| park facilities.
