Stokes suit called threat to job group
Cleveland Mayor Carl B Stokes filed a federal suit alleging discrimination by the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency NOACA. The action claims Cleveland’s 25 percent of NOACA’s coverage is represented by only six percent on the board. NOACA, created to oversee federally funded projects in seven counties, faces possible restructuring as the suit challenges its one man one vote balance. The agency’s $850,000 annual budget is funded 75 percent federally and 25 percent by the area. The board meets tomorrow at 9 30 a.m. at the Holiday Inn in Boston Heights.

Company pledges odor controls amid city sewer dispute
Harrison states the firm will deliver and operate odor control devices in about one week and limit production to keep the business running while public relations improvements are pursued. He warns two problems cross city lines, including a likely city responsibility for a leaking sanitary sewer, urging excavation to locate a broken joint and promising payment if it is their fault. He also hopes solving odor issues will ease tensions with the nearby landfill, long criticized as a major west side air polluter.
