The President seeks 140,000 public housing units over four years, while current Congressional action trimmed this to 20,000 annually.

Erie tax refunds eyed as city nets extra assessment
Erie finances in 1954 improved after City Assessor Clifford Zileh announced ability to tax $8 million more than the $381 million budget base. With a seven-mill rate the extra assessment could yield $56,000, plus a $50,000 higher carryover from 1953, totaling $105,000 more. Safety Director Cannavino floated a possible tax rollback, while Mayor Flatley cautioned about doubtful revenues that could offset the gain.
