How City Spends Recreation Funds Revealed by Todd
Dr. Arthur J. Todd, editor of the Chicago Recreation survey, told the Metropolitan Housing council that about 20 million dollars of Chicago’s 250 million annual recreation spend goes to policy games and 30 million to vice, with gambling on horse races and liquor purchases outweighing school funding. He urged a formal survey by the Chicago Recreation commission and WPA, noting five years of work and three divisions including facts conclusions and recommendations. Todd stressed better coordination among agencies, a legal framework for cooperation, and careful planning of budgets, facilities, and programs, while urging flexible, imaginative approaches for all ages.
