Development Project, and the said federal agency offers little pros-
pect for such aid; and

by the Local Public Agency pursuant to the Minnesota Municipal
Housing and Redevelopment Act, Laws of Minnesota 1947, Chapter 487,

area within the meaning of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended, and

dilapidation, obsolescence, overcrowding, faulty arrangement or design,
excessive land coverage, deleterious land use and combinations of these
and other factors, are detrimental to the safety, health, and morals
and welfare of the community, and the members of this governing body
have been fully apprised by the Local Public Agency and are aware of
these facts and conditions; and

ment of new street patterns, the location and relocation of sewer and

tion and data respecting the relocation program which has been prepared
