Housing bill expected to pass Senate in swift vote
Senate leaders confident most controversial issues are resolved and expect rapid approval of the Wagner housing bill. The plan would fund loans and direct federal aid to public housing agencies for low rent dwellings and slum eradication, with a $700 million bond program over three years and an initial $26 million appropriation. The bill faces Chamber of Commerce opposition over alleged demoralizing effects of subsidies. Senator Byrd notes high overhead costs in resettlement programs and questions bids on Virginia home units. The chamber’s critique contrasts with administration aims as the wage hour measure moves aside and the Senate prepares for a court procedure bill.
