Elyria Housing Vote Delay Seen as Only Hope
A special Elyria election to decide the fate of a federal housing project is seen as the only path to action before 1953. Mayor J Grant Keys opposes a costly special election absent strong public demand, with petitions filed for a November 1957 vote and a waiting period delaying certification. Key figures include City Auditor Ellsworth Albert and Solicitor Richard Baird. The 100 unit low rent project, approved in July amid opposition, faces potential loss of funding if delay continues.
