Mr. Sharkey said today: "This bill is an amendment of the powers conferred upon the city by the Legislature to encourage the construction of new housing in slum areas.

Will Get Fair Return' The company erecting a new project w-ill continue to pay taxes to the city on the basis of the property value before the erection of the building. Profits are carefully limited, so that the companies which attempt these projects will get a lair return on their money and no more.
