FIRST FLOOR a complete department store at your front door It Pays to Advertise in the Economist fora Used Car with a Future, JACK THOMPSON features Clearance in 1953 3,136 Families Clearance and redevelopment projects in Chicago during 1953 uprooted 3,136 families and 1,055 single persons from 30 different sites, according to a report by the housing and redevelopment coordinator. A major portion of the programs was concentrated on the near South side. Engaged in various clearance and rebuilding activities are the Chicago Dwellings association; Chicago Housing Authority, Chicago Land Clearance commission, Park District, Board of Education, Illinois Institute of Technology, highway departments (city, county and state), Michael Reese hospital and Chicago Medical Center- commission.

Because most of these agencies and institutions operate independently, the City council last year approved the consolidation of all relocation efforts in the office of the housing coordinator. This plan, however, is still in the discussion stage. It is anticipated that a total of 22,000 persons in the future will move from sites already approved from redevelopment at the rate of 3,000 a year. The coordinator reported that low-rent public housing projects of the Chicago Housing Authority accommodated 21 per cent of the dislocated families with children last year. Public housing and superhighway construction forced nearly 60 per cent of the 3,000 people to move in 1953.

The same ratio is expected to prevail in the future. Accounting for the disbursements were: Chicago Land Clearance commission: Lake Meadows neared completion in 1953 with the moving of 426 families and single persons. Still remaining on the site are 227 families and single persons. Three additional Land Clearance projects, one on the near West side and two on the near South side, are nearing the relocation stage. Chicago Housing Authority: Relocated 941 families and 359 single persons.

Of 690 families with children, 227, or 33 per cent, moved into CHA projects. Chicago Dwellings association' Sixteen families and three single persons were moved from a project site at 47th st. and Princeton ave. for the Dwellings association by CHA. City, county and state highway departments: A total of 1,204 families and single persons moved from rights-of-way for the Congress st.

and Northwest expressways. Remaining at the end of the. year were 105 families and 13 single persons. Board of Education: Moved 186 families and 87 single persons for the new Dunbar Trade school, 31st st. and South Parkway.

Medical Center commission: Displaced 74 families. An estimated 5,000 families are subject to future removal within the bounded by Ashland Congress st, Oakley blvd. and the Baltimore and Ohio right-of- way south of Roosevelt rd. Michael Reese hospital: CHA relocated 29 families and 13 single persons for the hospital up to November, when their agreement expired. Eight families and 12 single persons remain.

Michael Reese, through the Land Clearance commission soon will begin redevelopment of a 54- acre tract around the hospital. Illinois Institute of Technology: Relocated 239 families and 122 single persons. The housing coordinator said a more systematic building enforcement program will add to relocation requirements. In area surveys, some 700 illegally occupied units were found in Normal Park, West Kenwood and South East Chicago conservation areas. USED CARS "Safety-Tested" stands fer the best deal In Used cars!
