Prices now are said to be the lowest
in twenty years. The strange part of
the whole matter is that when prices
are cheap, we don't have the money
to buy says Bob Norris Of the Williams
Northern Light.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1931-04-10

The City Council at Tuesdays ses-
sion by a unanimous vote decided on
the Burnside water project and steps
will at once be taken TO get the prof.
ect in motion. In talking the matter
over with some of our citizens, it is the
general impression that the council
acted very wisely in taking this course
and that with the completion OF this
project the water troubles OF the city
will be solved for years TO come.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1931-04-10

We understand the Council also de-
cided to build the new water system
without a bond issue. This is another
wise move on the part Of the city
fathers as in our opinion no bond issue
would be sanctioned by the voters. It
is also the opinion that the new plant
can be put in without increasing the
tax rate for city purposes and this
sounds good. The business acumen Of
the Council must be admired To re-
vamp the old plant or a new one on
Shagawa would still leave the same
water and sewage situation. 1t might,
with the expenditure Of a barrel Of
money, last for a few years but would
eventually have to be again rebuilt and
revamped, with the same water and
water treatment problems.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1931-04-10

In arriving at this decision, the men
of the Council had before them three
propositions. One was 70 get water
from BURNSIDE at a total cost esti-
mated at $4,000, including a clear
water basin; right from Ely TO
Burnside; pump house at Burnside
with pump, electrical connections, wiz
ing and transformer station; electric
transmission line to new plant and
other necessary improvements and
buildings. To construct new plant at
Shagawa Lake would cost, with sew
age disposal and other necessaries, the
sum Of s265,000. To revamp the old
plant and put it in condition to con-
form with the demands of the State
Board Of Health, the sum of 1888 900
would be required.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1931-04-10

The BURNSIDE proposition also will
do away with the expensive sewage
disposal project necessary in case the
Shagawa lake propositions were chosen.
This item would amount to in the
neighborhood OF $4,000. And, after
ALL would not be settled as the city
must have an outlet for its sewage and
the lake is about the most logical place
for this. 1t is true that some money
must be spent on sewage disposal. 1t
stands to reason that it will not be for
the good of the community to make
cess-pool of Shagawa one of the hand
soonest bodies of water in this section
and easily accessible to the city

CATHOLIC CHARITY
GROUP HITS DOLE
Session Declares Relief Must
Be Handled by Public and
Private Agencies.
BY the Associated Press.


WILKES-BARRE, Pa, September 2s
The task of providing employment
for the Nations 1obless was placed be-
fore municipal, State and Federal gov
ernments by diocesan directors of Cath
Ole charities, in session at a national
conference here today.
Declaring themselves opposed to a
dole because 1T is destructive to self
respect" the diocesan directors, who
came mere from various sections Of the
country offered the following solution
OF the unemployment problem:
our various local communities must
PROVIDE. through public and private
1unds, such direct relief as may be
neeoeo 10 alleviate suffering. The largest
snare OF the burden of local relief will
be borne by unsupported funds. These
funds. as far as practicable, should be
used Tor a work program.
See State Responsibility.
THE various State governments have
a serious responsibility in the present
INDUSTRIAL crisis. The States must bend
tnelr EFFORTS toward providing work for
the unemployed. They can organize at
once large work program providing
immediate employment for thousands of
ther citizens. In every State there is a
large volume of public work that needs
to be done. The funds for such work
can be secured by increased income
taxes. sales taxes or bond issues.
The State governments will render
their greatest service by providing work
rather than dole. 1t is next to i'm
possible to administer State relief on
an equitable basis. The work programs
OF the various States should be admin
istered by emergency commissions of
able citizens appointed irrespective of
party.
Federal Program Urged.
'The work programs of the States are
limited by their financial resources. A
Federal work program is also necessary.
We look to the President and Congress
to provide such program. A well
thought out Federal program, admins
tered by an emergency commission rep
resenting the best American talent and
Leadership, would provide work imme-
diately for million unemployed.
The work is there to be done. and
the Federal Government has the neces-
sary. resources within its reach. The
funds could be secured by a large bond
issue: We look to our State and Ma
tional Governments for prompt and
constructive action"

CUTS IN BUDGET
| OOOMS MANY
! ARMY POSTS

Belief that several Army posts
would feel the ak or be abandoned
entirely was further strengthened
today following announcement
that the War Departments
budget for 1888 had been reduced
approximately $44, 100000.
Not To Impair Army
In his announcement that the
"War Department has settled with
the Director of the Budget" for
slash Of $4,000. 900 in the next
budget. Secretary of War Hurley
said there would be no impair
ment in the efficiency of the
Army.
This, in the opinion of observ-
erS, made it practically certain
that some Army posts would be
reduced and others abandoned.
Many Of these posts are now un-
occupied.
So Posts Are Listed
Last May the War Department
listed So posts which it was
planned to dispose Of by sale of
the lands which they occupy, Or
by transfer Of the lands and
buildings to other departments of
the Government if it is found
they can serve useful purposes.
At present a commission ap.
pointed by President Hoover is
studying the possible usefulness
OF these various posts, after which
1t will recommend which shall be
abandoned or transferred to other
departments.
