Homeowners insurance underinsures aging houses says Sylvia Porter
In a 1965 home built for 40000 the replacement cost now tops 95880, far above the insured 50000. Inflation and rising building costs leave many US houses underinsured. Porter notes that a home from the 1960s is often only about half insured by the late 1970s.

Philadelphia wage tax debate reshapes Pennsylvania finances
The wage tax on non residents in Philadelphia stands at 45 16 percent and blocks suburban counties from adopting wage taxes, delaying broader tax reform and school funding changes. A Senate plan proposes a cap and redistribution to suburbs, while city officials resist curbs on non resident taxation. Shifts in population from Philadelphia to suburbs after 1970 threaten future realignment and could force a compromise before the 1980 census.
