Perloff, Harvey S. "A National Program of Research in Housing and Urban Development." Resources for the Future, Washington, D.C., 1961. 32 pages.

The Housing and Home Finance Agency estimated gross expenditures for fiscal year 1964 amount to $2.8 billion, of which only $387,500 is earmarked for research. The author contends that the small amount spent on urban research must be increased in order to better understand the complexities of the metropolitan challenge. All three levels of government are called on to assist in such research efforts.

Rossi, Peter H., and Robert A. Dentler. "The Politics of Urban Renewal." Free Press of Glencoe, New York, 1962. 308 pages.

This is a case study of Chicago's Hyde Park-Kenwood urban renewal project which stands with a small number of other projects in Philadelphia, New Haven, and Southwest Washington as an example of urban renewal at its best. This book by two sociologists deals with the planning of the undertaking, the role of citizens in the planning process, and the lessons this project might have for planners and administrators elsewhere.

Schaef, A. H. "Economic Aspects of Urban Renewal: Theory, Policy, and Area Analysis." Institute of Business and Economic Research, University of California, Berkeley, 1960. 51 pages. Research Report No. 14.

This is a technical analysis of the economic feasibility of achieving renewal through rehabilitation or, if necessary, by rebuilding. The viewpoints of both private investors and public policymakers are considered as well as the effect of public actions on private urban renewal undertakings.

Among other things, this two-part study describes the present Federal law, explains the "workable program" requirement, and examines the problems of rehabilitation and conservation. Relocation policies, and the question of local governmental organization are also examined.

Colean, Miles L. "Renewing Our Cities." Twentieth Century Fund, New York, 1953. 181 pages.

The monumental two-volume study edited by Coleman Woodbury resulted from an extensive investigation of urban redevelopment carried on at the University of Chicago from 1948 to 1951. Colean presents a smaller and less technical review of developments to 1953. Both studies contribute to a better understanding of blight problems in America's cities.

XV. WATER SUPPLY-WATER POLLUTION-SEWAGE

DISPOSAL

Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations. "Intergovernmental Responsibilities for Water Supply and Sewage Disposal in Metropolitan Areas." October 1962. 135 pages.

Identifies problems of Federal-State-local relations with regard to the planning, financing, and construction of water supply and sewage disposal facilities and presents recommendations for legislative and administrative action by the levels of government concerned.

Hirshleifer, Jack, James C. DeHaven, and Jerome W. Milliman. "Water Supply: Economics, Technology, and Policy." The University of Chicago Press, Chicago, 1960. 378 pages.

The authors present a refreshingly new approach to water problems by attacking the complacency of "water-supply professionals.' While it may be more romantic to dream and scheme for bigger and better water projects, the authors feel that more immediate attention should be given to reducing pollution and sensibly pricing water already available.

Martin, Roscoe C. and others. "The Problem of Water Resources Administration, With Special Reference to the Delaware River Basin." Water Research Foundation for the Delaware River Basin, Philadelphia, 1959. 505 pages.

This is a study of the problems involved in administering a wide scale water resources program. An agency is proposed whose jurisdiction would transcend State, county, and city limitations, and which would include all of the Delaware River Valley's resources. The study treats the legal basis for regional action and the organizational form, financial responsibility, and management of such an authority. The experience with similar programs in other areas, such as the Missouri, Tennessee, the lower Colorado, is also examined. The work concludes with an analysis of the proposed techniques and structure for a Delaware River Basin program and of the problem of its implementation.

Martin, Roscoe C. and others. "Water for New York." Syracuse University Press, Syracuse, 1960. 264 pages.

Our use of water has doubled within the last 25 years but the normal abundance of water in the East has only now led to a reappraisal of past water policy. Professor Martin explores the situation in New York State and with four case studies illustrates this State's response to growing water supply and pollution problems.

McKinley, Charles. "The Management of Water Resources Under the American Federal System." In Macmahon, Arthur W., ed. "Federalism: Mature and Emergent" pp. 328-351. Doubleday & Co., Garden City N.Y. 1955.

A brief consideration of the division of legal powers over water is followed by a presentation of the evolution of water resource programs and the resulting interlevel relationships along with evaluations and conclusions. The author regards interstate agreements as "cumbersome, jerry-built structures lacking a regionwide political responsibility, parisitic over national finances, and negative or unduly dilatory in decisionmaking." He believes that our best hope for formulating and implementing resources policies is through the perfection of cooperative national-State-local relationships already functioning or in the process of development.

Report of the Select Committee on National Water Resources. (U.S. Senate, Select Committee on National Water Resources, Rept. 29, 87th Cong., 1st sess.) January 1961. 147 pages.

By the year 2000 water use will be three times that amount presently consumed. A comprehensive water policy is vitally needed, the report stresses, to insure that water quality is maintained in order that the reuse of water is possible and that conservation and recreation purposes can be met.

Water Resources Activities in the United States. (U.S. Senate Select Committee on National Water Resources, Committee Prints Nos. 7, 9, and 30. 86th Cong., 2d sess.) 1960. 24, 38, and 54 pages.

An examination of future water needs for urban use is presented in Committee Print No. 7. Present consumption rates amount to 150 gallons per capita per day. Rapid urbanization is placing even greater stresses on our municipal water facilities. Committee Print No. 9 discusses water pollution problems and cites various types of pollutants in the Nation's waterways. Ways of insuring the reuse of water is highlighted in Committee Print No. 30. The report covers underground storage of water, better ways of discovering ground water concentrations, and the reuse of sewage effluents.

A Study of Pollution-Water. (U.S. Senate, Special Subcommittee on Air and Water Pollution of the Committee on Public Works, committee print, 88th Cong., 1st sess.) 1963. 100 pages.

This report examines all phases of pollution and points up the need for a national water quality control program. Federal participation to date has had only limited success in dealing with water problems. A plea is made for increased Federal action in the field.

Water Pollution Control and Abatement. (U.S. House of Representatives, hearings before a subcommittee of the Committee on Government Operations, pts. IA and IB,) May and June 1963. 1-901 and 902-1841 pages.

This set of hearings spells out in great detail those problems stemming from water pollution discussed in "A Study of Pollution-Water."
