 The report of the ways and means committee follows in full:
 Regarding communication received from ihe Department of Public Chari- ties relative to the present industrial situation and the prevailing general unemployment, and relative 10 the necessity of the city taking some steps to relieve the tension and suffering caused thereby:
 ]. It is the opinion of this commit tee that the burden of relieving the present situation should rest upon the manufacturers themselves and not upon the taxpayers, and that the man agement of the local factories should be urged to resume operations even if 1t meant running for two or three days a week. as that would be enough to furnish their employees with liv- ing wage.
 2. It Is the opinion of this commit tee that although this is the logical solution of the present problem, there has been no response to this situation by the local factories and there is no way of compelling such action on their part and that therefore the city must act in the present emergency. In this connection. the mayor, in recent communication discussed three possible methods of the city affording the funds necessary:
 First the possibility of providing the money from the contingency fund set aside by the Board of Apportion ment; second, by levying a special tax upon the taxpayers; third. by an issue of notes or bonds.
 This committee believes that the requirem entS of the present situation are too large to warrant the drawing ba ent needs of the Charities department. also advises keeping that fund intact for later unexpected needs to avoid the possibility of deficits and the re-

ALDERMEN SEEK TO
 ISSUE MORE BONDS
(Continued From Page One)


 It was imperative, they agreed, that immediate authority be granted by the legislature for the issuance of the notes, which would be snort term and bear six per cent interest, one half of the notes would be payable other half two years from date of is sue. Regarding the expenditure of the notes, they advised the adoption of q program of physical improve ments for the city, such road con- struction or grading. The advantages of such a program would be two-fold l. e. provide work for the unemployed and provide needed highway improve mentS.
 A resolution was included in the report, which was unanimously adopt ed without question, inStructing that Financial Advisory committee, and all civic bodies urging their support and presentation at the legislature hearings.
 The resolution was interpreted by some as aimed mainly at the Chamber of Commerce in quest of their sup port.
 The. Chambers opposition to every bond issue save school bonds, Is well known, and reports current at the meeting indicated that the resolution was a means of soliciting their sup port, and to thwart any possible op- position that may develop.
 Following the presentation Of the report, Mayor Wilson spoke briefly in favor of it's recommendation and strongly urged that the Legislature Committee act immediately, and lay the matter before the General Assem- bly, before the end of the week.
 In accordance, the committee left this morning to introduce the meas ire to the Finance committee and pre- sent their arguments for its immedl- ate passage, possibly under sus-

sultant injunctions which the city has been forced to undergo recently. It is impossible to foretell at this time what demands may be made upon. the treasury during the present fiscal year ard the Board of AppoEionmeut has been unable to foresee and provide for Last year there were many items that could not have been antici- pated and it is for such events that we advise keeping the contingency fund intact
 4 This committee does not believe that a special tax is the proper means emergency, for the reason that it is not only burden to collect, ana would mean a duplication of effort, but it would also be too great a hard ship upon the small property owner at the presnt time, even assuming such tax would only be for one and one-half or two mills. We fear that the landlords of the city as Is their wont, would immediately use this as an excuse and raise rents. making I1v- ing conditions harder.
 |. We therefore believe that for the present the city should issue short term notes or bonds to the amount of $30O,000, but we are advised by the city auditor that at the present time it is impossible for the city to issue any such notes without authority from the Legislature for such issue. We do believe that it is imperative that such authority be granted, and that such notes or bonds should bear in terest at six per cent, one-haLt 10 pc payable within one year and One-half to be payable within two years of the date of issue. We would also recoIn- mend that the proceeds of these notes when sold should be made aVallaD e to the Department of Pubhc Cnafl- tia- and that the same be spent, not by GiStri button to the needy families, but by furnishing employment to de- serving citizens. on road conSTuct1oh work, grading or some phySlcal nm provement to the city In accordance herewith we wish to recommend the adoption of the following resolutions:
 Be it resolved, that the Legislative committee of this council appear be- fore the Finance committee of the General Assembly now sitting as early as convenient, and request immediate authority for the issuance of S30O,O0O of short term notes or bonds to bear interest at six per cent. and to be pay able, one-half one year from date of issue and the other half two years from date of issue, with such other limitations and restrictions as the Legislature may see fit to impose, said notes or bonds to be known as Char ity Emergency NOteS-Or Bonds and the proceeds thereof when sold to be made available as outlined above, to relieve the present unemployment situation in the city
 Be it resolved, that the city clerk be and he is hereby authorized to send copies of this report to all mem bers of the Financial Advisory com mittee, and all civic bodies and urge upon these bodies the adVisability and necessity of securing the passage of this measure and requesting them to send representatives CT a delegation to such hearing as may be he'd by the Legislature on this matter.
