CITY DECLINES
ANNEXATION OF
ERIE GARDENS

Erie Gardens and the city air
port came in for prolonged dis
cusSion by members of city coun-
Gil Tuesday evening, but the two
controversial subjects were not
followed by definite action.
Mayor Carl Becker informed
councilmen that annexation Of
134 residential units not now in
the city, would mean an increas-
ed revenue of $500 from the gov
ernmental housing bureau, in ad-
dition to $1,016 which is already
paid into the city treasury. The
$500 now being paid by the gov.
ernment goes to Bay township,
he explained, although the city
provides fire and police protec-
tion to the community.
Council decided to keep the
question open pending the return
of Councilman William Goebel
from his vacation.
In an informal discussion Of
the reported bad condition of the
city airport, council directed
Councilman Roland Schaper to in.
vestigate actual conditions and re-
port them at a later meeting Of

lSchool Construction
To Be Hit by More
Cuts in Steel Supply

School construction, already de-
layed by shortages Of steel is
facing even sleeper cuts in the
metal in the first three months
of 1852.
During the last three months of
this year, 104,300 tons of steel
were allotted to build schools. The
Federal Office Of Education, the
claimant agency for steel for
school construction, asked 192,6l3I
tons for the January March, 1852
period The Defense Production
Administration, which apportions
the available steel among various
uses, has tentatively allotted 81, 600
tons. or % per cent less than for
the current last quarter of this
year.
Hospital construction under the
Federal aio program also is fac
ing a steel cutback.
Figures For Next Year.
For the fourth quarter of 1851 :,
the allotment for the Federal
Security Agency's hospital and
health program amounted to TO-
700 tens of steel. Requests of the
first quarter of next year
amounUed to 82.160 tons, while
allotments for that period have
been tentatively put at $500
tons.
Fourth quarter allotments for
school building originally amount
ed to $4,000 tons. but this was in
creased later by 10000 tons. The
Office of Education said it was
able to apportion this among
many construction jobs already
under way but could fill fewer
than 100 requests for steel for
new construction.
/ Applications for steel for new
construction untitled in this quar-
ter are for 1921 new buildings. On
top Of that are applications for
steel covering 672 additional new
structures, planned for the first
quarter of 1852.
McGrath Seeks Increase.
Commissioner of Education Earl
j. McGrath saw DPA Administra-
tor Manley Fleischmann Wednes-
day to try to get the allotment for
the first part Of the new year in
creased. There has been no indi-
cation as to the result of his pleas.
The Education Office points out
that fourth quarter 1851 requests
for steel for school buildings to-
tailed less than l per cent Of the
total steel available, but that the
allotments were cut to So per cent
Of the requests.
DPA. however. says the total
tentative allotments of the scarce
metal for the first three months
of 1852 still are more than the
amount to be available and will
have OF be squeezed down by about
million tons.
Mr.. Fleischmann said yesterday
the outlook for the first three
months Of 1851 Is that the steel
supply will be only a little larger
than it is in this quarter. Att
the same time the claims forI
defense and allied production are
rising.
