|
| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, |

|
| 4 | | Section 5. The State Housing Act is amended by changing |
| 5 | | Section 2 as follows:
|
| 6 | | (310 ILCS 5/2) (from Ch. 67 1/2, par. 152)
|
| 7 | | 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 |
