Public Improvement Fund Drained After Supreme Court Ruling
The City Council adopted a resolution distributing the remaining 4 692 169 55 from the Public Improvement Fund once valued at nearly 5 million dollars. Of the sum, 3 001 208 99 went to Harbor Revenue Fund and 1 690 960 56 to the Tideland Oil Fund under a formula proposed by City Auditor Mansell. The fund collapsed after the Mallon decision limited upland project uses and most assets were moved to the state, with the fund effectively abolished by a January 1957 charter amendment.
