| Sec. 2.
It is hereby declared that
that congested and |
| 8 |
| unsanitary housing
conditions which exist in certain areas of |
| 9 |
| the state in low-priced
dwellings are a menace to the health, |
| 10 |
| safety, morals, welfare and
reasonable comfort of the citizens |
| 11 |
| of the state. The correction of these
conditions in such areas |
| 12 |
| being now otherwise impossible, it is essential
that provision |
| 13 |
| be made to encourage the investment of funds at low interest
|
| 14 |
| rates, the acquisition at fair prices of adequate parcels of |
| 15 |
| land, the
gradual demolition of existing unsanitary and unsafe |
| 16 |
| housing and the
construction of new housing facilities under |
| 17 |
| public supervision, with
proper standards of sanitation and |
| 18 |
| safety, and at a cost which will permit
monthly rentals or |
| 19 |
| charges which wage-earners can afford to pay, and not in
excess |
| 20 |
| of the rates hereinafter provided. |
| 21 |
| Therefore, there are created and authorized the agencies |
| 22 |
| and
instrumentalities hereinafter prescribed, which are |
| 23 |
| declared to be the
agencies and instrumentalities of the state |
