County to share harbor costs and form temporary Erie port authority
Erie officials plan a temporary five member port authority within two to three weeks with a $1,790,000 state appropriation for harbor improvements. County commissioners may finance part of the local share, estimated at $400,000 for the first phase to add a new wharf and terminal area. Mayor Gardner will meet with the county after state funds are appropriated to discuss joint financing and appointments as the state paves the way for a statewide port authority and potential airport involvement.

NEW YORK George L Wright 11 14 will get another chance at the 100000 jackpot on the Big Surprise NBC TV quiz show next Saturday night. He missed the final section of a six part question last Saturday when he failed to name the author of the song Betty Coed written by Rudy Vallee and Paul Fogarty. The producer Steve Carlin announced that George will be tested again on songs of the 1920s because Betty Coed was misidentified as a 1920s song. If he misses he will still win 25000 so far.
