Housing Experts Backed For Federal Slum Clearance Authority

Washington reports experts who designed low cost dwellings for 100000 may form the nucleus of a proposed federal slum clearance authority. The Warner housing bill passed Senate with general supervision to Secretary Ickes and the PWA to run housing activities. If enacted the measure would fund cities to develop their own projects with federal aid. PWA architects push for outside rooms and modern kitchen bath facilities in a $140 million slum clearance drive. Since the program began, 21 states created housing authorities. Ickes cited $206470 saved by scrutinizing construction contracts.

War era PWA dwelling costs spark Senate dispute

The Warner bill aims to cap PWA project costs at 1000 dollars per room, down from about 1350. Senator Wagner opposed the cap, warning rising material and labor costs could squeeze the PWA margin. Engineers note early 1933 projects averaged under 1000 per room, but prices rose as conditions improved.
