By the City Council of Columbus, Ohio
Adopted April 20, 1936
To memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact the United
States Housing Act, being S 4424 by Wagner and HR 12164 by Ellenbogen.
WHEREAS, The availability of decent sanitary and safe housing for
all of the people is now recognized as-a proper concern of government; and
WHEREAS, Persons of low income can be housed adequately only by a
degree of government aid; and
WHEREAS, The low income group is of necessity occupying cast-off
housing in what are known as our slum and blighted areas; and
WHEREAS, The continued maintenance of our slums is socially undesir-
able and an economic waste; and
WHEREAS, No funds are available to carry on this work; and
WHEREAS, It is desirable to preserve the benefits of the emergency
housing experiences by providing for a permanent housing agency in the
Federal Government; and
WHEREAS, This resolution constitutes an emergency in that the same
provides for the immediate preservation of the public property and the usual
daily operation of a municipal department; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED By the council of the city of Columbus:
That the United States Senate be and it is hereby requested to enact
at the earliest date possible, "The United States Housing Act of 1936", being
Senate Bill No. 4424 introduced by Senator Robert F. Wagner, and that the
House of Representatives enact the identical measure introduced in said House
by Congressman Henry Ellenbogen of Pennsylvania and being HR 12154.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED That a copy of this resolution be sent to the
President and to the Vice-President of the United States, The Speaker of the
House of Representatives and to Senators Robert J. Bnikley and Vic Donahey
and to Representative Arthur P. Lemneck of the 12th Ohio District.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED That this resolution is hereby declared to
be an emergency measure and shall take effect and be in force immediately
upon its adoption and its approval by the mayor.
Adopted by the Board of Commissioners of Salt Lake City,
Utah, this 3rd day of June, 1936.
