The city lawmakers baked after
hearing effective arguments from
Frank Quisno, chairman of the
Port Clinton planning commission,
and Frank Putnam, local housing
contractor.
Mr.. Quisno said that Chicago of
ficials of the Federal Public Hous-
ing Authority, operators of Erie
Gardens, had conferred with the
!. planning commission Monday for
the purpose of obtaining official
approval to sell inividual units of
the project, one of three methods
followed by the government in dis
posing of such property.
Mr.. Quisno said that under no
circumstances" do the units as
they stand meet city requirements.
He estimated that 25 to 40 units
would have to be dispensed with
to meet city planning regulations.
The Chicago officials told local
authorities that if multiple owner
ship could not be worked out, the
government would either sell the
project to cooperative group or
to an individual, indicating pref
erence for multiple ownership.
Mr.. Putnam objected strenuously
to multiple ownership. He said
there was no need for council to
make a rush" decision and asked
formore time so that interested
groups of citizens could be heard
on the question.
According to Mr.. Putnam, a
group of local persons have indi-
Gated an interest in purchasing the
project as a public-spirited enter
prise.
He said the group hoped to set
UP a time table and eventually
eliminate the project by replacing
it with development that would
be "a credit to the city"
"In no way" continued Mr.. Put
man, lis this to be construed as a
reflection on the people living in
Erie Gardens :. many just haven't
been able to arrange financing to
purchase homes of their own"
Meanwhile, council has the whole
proposition under adviSement.
