f v * Saturday, May 15, 1937 , ? 4 PUBLIC HOUSING " Vt/ Why People Live in Slums The onlv thing, by way of a broad generalisation, that keeps a man ;:n a bog is his inability to get out. Men aren't rats. Bogs ami sewers aren't their element. If they are in slums it is because they arp unable to get out They vJon't choose to* live there! They are the victims. of all the sqcial and economic evils that haVe resulted from the mushroom growth of our cities. 4 But whose fault is it if they reA main there? Ours! And ours an unwelcome share in the tragi'c penalty of disease, misery, delinquency and crime which' their be ? ing there imposed on society. Economists assert that not more than one dollar out of every five of ^the working men's salary " ! should go to provide his shelter j Many slum dwellers, economists I say, boast no regular income, and I 20 percent of that is next to nothing. We might take the figures * of the Department of Labor quot eu> in "Urban Housing," a handbook of facts on low-rent housing recently released by the Housing Div ision of PWA. "In 1934," we re*fid, "it was estimated that 37 percent of all non, ^ farm families had (annual) rn- < comes of $800 or less; one-fifth of that sum, $1G0, will pay fc/r only the dregs of houses in metropoli tan areas. Yet the remaining four fifths is not sufficient to maintain* a family on what figures, based On "-department of labor statistics call a minimum subsistence standard." In the metropolitan district of Cleveland, according to the 1934 Real Property Inventory, the group representee, by the 37 percent cited above pay only $3.09 per room per month for housing. Can a family obtain the minimum requirements for decent living in four. rooms rn metropolitan Cleve lartd for $12.36 per month? Not if tl ose minimum requirements include running water, indoor flush toilets, adequate light and air, and structures in fair statP of repair Are the minimum requirements excessive? Not if health anc decency are essentials of adequate housing. The situation adi.s up to about this: Society cannot afford, because of their potential menace and their exorbitant costs :'n "dollars and cents, to go on maintaining slums; slums dwellers cannot afford, because of limited income, the Abetter living conditions of a rational environment. "The only practical solution in 1 sight would seem to be rehabilitation of slum areas, by providing decent housing con. vtions at rents w'th the income range of 10,000,-, 000 families at the bottom of the economic scale. Private industry had admitted its inability to meet rthis demand. The Government, that agency through which the people rule must. ^ I'.'VRE URGED IN USE OF SECURITY CARDS j Hoard Essues Caution On Counterfeit Benefit Account Numbers 1 May 10?Instances of alleged 1 counterfeit social security account M cards being used for identification in cashing checks brought a state fmcnt of caution today front Niels Christensen, Field Representative in dharge of the Columbia office I of the Social Security Board. Possession of an account card, Mr. Christensen sai d, holds no par| ticular significance for other ident.[ ification purposes or for the fini ancial responsibility of the mdiJ vidual. I Mr. Christensen emphasized that j under the o'rcumstances in which 1 account cards are designed to be A used it is against the worker's ?interests to use a card other than own. Accotint numbers are be I vi. * n?ed by the Board in -adfninfr the Federal cid-age benen and bv the States in adring their unemployment sation laws, purposes of the Federal henefits program, employ ginnipg_next July, will use . numbers in recoiling the = of wages paid workers," atement continues.___ These wjll' br erudite . to the inmviu1 worke-rVsoci?l security ac f count. The amount of old-age ben fits w'll be based an the total amount o'f wages paid the individual worker in covered employment af' ter 1936 and until he reaches age i 65. I "Workers ip industry and com1 mitrce wiho i.'o not have account I numbers are urged to apply im1 mediately at their nearest post cf|~fice-Tor them.
