Prediction Inflation To Boost City Millage In 1971 Budget
City finance director warned that rising costs will push property taxes higher to cover the 1971 city budget. Councilman Calderone noted the council is two weeks into drafting the 1970 budget and faces a difficult path to hold taxes down. Johnson cited revenue shortfalls from parking meters, failed property sale, tax collection problems, and dwindling cash on hand as contributing factors. Delinquent city taxes hover near ten thousand dollars with examples of long-standing arrears.

City To Buy Two Renewal Area Parcels
City Council unanimously authorizes Mayor Ed ward Zarger to purchase two small renewal area parcels to speed Phase I to Phase II of the Fourth Ward project. Cost ranges from 9000 to 10000 dollars with zoning flexibility. One parcel was slated for Ajax Iron Works beside its warehouse on West Main and Fourth. Ajax now seeks warehouse sale. The other parcel was intended for Corry Rubber but the firm paused plans. Both parcels are under 2000 square feet, aiding easier sale of larger properties. The Erie attorney Lesler, opposing Senate Minority Leader Hugh Scott, campaigned in Erie then Corry, meeting with local labor leaders and candidates at Oasis Tavern and city halls.
