Erie school taxes are set to rise from 17 to 18 mills next year unless the federal government funds added costs from defense housing for 500 new units in the Franklin Avenue area. Superintendent Herman Grose says $51,500 extra may be needed, with a federal aid request sent to the Public Works administration and uncertain prospects. He warns the district may have to tax residents if aid fails to materialize. Notice: Curry and Gizee announce Charles A. Myers returns as representative at Memorial Store No 1 East Columbus Avenue.
