Also the Housing Authority, was enabled to increase its commitments for annual subsidies in proportion to the enlargement of the basic program. Opposed Cutting Amount In addition to helping obtain the passage of the amendments, the report adds, the Committee was instrumental to a very large extent in restoring a substantial cut in the Authoritys authorization for administrative expenses. Funds for these purposes, originally totalled $4,500,000, but the amount was cut by the House to $2,225,000. After a prolonged fight $3,500,000 were finally authorized. The Committee has participated also in political work in aid of state enabling legislation, and it is believed that the C. I. 0. can justly claim a great share of the credit for the success which housing legislation has achieved not only on a state but a national basis this year, Lewis report points out.
