 The former mayors ob cction to the proposed issue is not on account of the fact that a part of the work IS not to be of permanent nature. which objection was raised by several of the other members of the board. but rather because ne believes that such work should be paid for Iow,

 "The unemployment situation Is condition of today and should be met today. 1t is not right to go ahead and spend money now and leave it to the people of five or six years from today to pay It seems to me nothing more or less than the mortgaging of the city for political purposes and will vote against it. It is true that part of the work is permanent; some grading work is permanent, but have never regarded paving as a permanent work.

 A lively battle is anticipated when the matter comes before the Meeting B9ard for the second time for con sideration.
