* §  61.  Finding.  It  is  hereby  declared  that in certain areas of   counties, cities and first class  villages  of  the  state  there  exist   unsanitary  or substandard housing conditions owing to over-crowding and   concentration of population, improper planning, excessive land coverage,   lack of proper light, air and space, unsanitary design and  arrangement,   or  lack  of  proper  sanitary facilities; that there is not an adequate   supply of decent, safe, and sanitary dwelling accommodations for persons   of low income; that these conditions cause an  increase  and  spread  of   disease and crime and constitute a menace to the health, safety, morals,   welfare,  and  comfort of the citizens of the state, and impair economic   values; that  these  conditions  cannot  be  remedied  by  the  ordinary   operation  of  private  enterprise;  that the clearance, replanning, and   reconstruction of the areas in which unsanitary or  substandard  housing   conditions  exist  and  the  providing  of  decent,  safe,  and sanitary   dwelling accommodations in said areas and elsewhere for persons  of  low   income  are public uses and purposes for which public money may be spent   and private property acquired; and the necessity in the public  interest   for the provisions hereinafter enacted is hereby declared as a matter of   legislative determination. * NB  The  text  of  Article  5 of the former State Housing Law (cited   herein as the "Municipal Housing  Authorities  Law"),  as  such  article   existed  immediately  prior  to  its  repeal  pursuant to section 227 of   Chapter 808 of the Laws of 1939, is provided here for ease of  reference   and  historical purposes as such text continues to be applicable for the   New York City Housing Authority pursuant to the  provisions  of  section   401 of the current Public Housing Law.
