Elyria Housing Petitions Block Vote After Delay
Leaders call the public vote blockage on Elyria's low rent housing a dirty trick as backers push to withdraw signatures from referendum petitions filed July 31. If enough signers retract, petitions become invalid and no November vote occurs, delaying action to 1957 and risking loss of federal funds.

Sewage plan for Eaton area stalls over costs
A Eaton Township meeting failed to yield a central sewage disposal plan for 99 Brokaw Rd homes. Rain, soil drainage limits, and insufficient area value prevent assessable financing. a storm drain ditch project could cost about 40,000 with 5041 to 700 per property. An FHA escrow of 6,500 may assist drainage but not full sewer work.
