NO CHANGE Seen IN
Immediate FUTURE
Officials Believe Order AS
sures That Buildings Win
Not Be Dismantled Soon

Erie Gardens, dominant factor
in relieving Port Clinton's hous-
ing problem during World War
II, was officially declared "per-
manent project" in joint action
this week by federal authorities
and city council.
Council, acting Tuesday night
following an informal visit by
federal officials and receipt of
registered letter from Hugo c.
Schwartz. acting director os the
Detroit field office of the Public
Housing Administration, voted
unanimously to declare the war
time homes permanent pro-
iect".
The action was taken upon mo-
ton by Councilman Roland Scha-
per, seconded by Councilman
Charles Ruddock.
Mayor Carl Becker explained
that two representatives of the
FILA, Alex w. Johnson and FranS
T. Miskell, had conferred with
him several days earlier to re-
peat a request made some Tina
ago that Erie Gardens be classa-
fed either permanent" or 'tenl-
porary."
Mayor Becker interpreted the
federal classification as assurance
that the 298-unit project would
not be dismantled in the imma-
diate future.
Mr.. Schwartz's letter to Mayor
Becker declared in making the
redetermination of character rs-
quired by Public Law AIS. the
PHA has taken into consideration
local standards and conditions a.
well as the purely physical char
acteristics of the structures"
ION the basis of our prelimi-
nary examination" he continued
1--WE are recommending that Eric
Gardens be determined to be per-
manent in character"
The letter went on to explain
that as permanent projects they
would be sold under the provi-
sions of the Lanham Act as fol-
lows:
"a) II determined to be suit.
able for continued use on the
present site, they would be sold
for on-site use;
"b) If determined to be not
suitable for continued use on the
present site, they would be sold
for removal and off-site use"
Mr. Schwartz letter pointed out
that "inasmuch as there is a tenn
porary freeze on all disposition
actions due to the international
situation, no determination has
been made as to which of the
foregoing methods of sale will
be eventually employed"
