Bricker Seeks Limit on Bill Amid Housing Drive
The plan calls for a maximum construction of 810 000 housing units over six years at 135 000 annually with possible rises to 250 000 or drops to 50 000. It contrasts with Sparkman’s 1 050 000 seven year target and Taft’s 600 000 six year proposal. Federal spending would top out at 308 million after five years, plus a 1.5 billion slum clearance program in loans and grants over five years. The housing and home finance authority would study costs and building increases.
