Senate Passes Costly Housing Bill With Broad Provisions
The Senate approved a large housing bill amid House recess. It calls for 810,000 public housing units over six years costing about 308 million dollars annually, plus 250 million in loans and 12.5 million in grants for farm housing over four years, and 1 billion in loans and 500 million in grants to local governments for slum clearance. The measure drew concern that many slum dwellers do not own their properties and that federal aid may subsidize wealthy owners, while predicting a multi‑billion‑dollar final price and a growing federal landlord role. The piece also touches on congressional notices and a mix of opinion pieces and rural agricultural advice about pecan pests and spraying schedules.
