WHEREAS The people of the City,
in common with the remainder of the
country, are suffering from the present
business instability and depression, and
WHEREAS The curtailment of en-
ployment by the industries with re-
sultant loss in wages in this community
has and will continue to work a hard
ship on all our people, workers and
business people alike, and
WHEREAS In endeavoring to allevi-
ate in some part the hardship caused
by lack of employment, the City of Ely
has outlined and is carrying into effect
labor program which it is hoped will
provide some labor for those who need
same the most, and
WHEREAS The City Officers realize
that the present economic depression
has struck at the business of local
merchants to very appreciable extent
and the City Officers further realize
that the said merchants are shouldering
heavy burden in being forced to ex-
tend credit which they are in fact ex-
tending to all classes, knowing when the
credit is extended that the chances of
being paid in full are small at this
time and knowing that they will be
forced to carry the account until the
times improve, and
WHEREAS 1t is felt that it is very
unfair to the local merchants to ask
them to extend credit when it is a
known fact that large outside mail
order houses are doing large business
in town and receiving payments in
cash, and
WHEREAS The City Officers feel that
if Ely and its people are to weather
this present depression, there must be
healthy spirit of cooperation between
all classes, and each class must have
the welfare of the other in mind at all
times, which cooperative spirit cannot
exist if trade is to be with business
enterprises which are outside the City,
NOW THEREFORE, BE 1T RE-
SOLVED BY the City Council of the
City of Ely, meeting this End day of
February, 1882, that the people of the
City of Ely and particularly those en-
ployed in any capacity by the City of
Ely be informed by this resolution that
it is the desire of the City Council
having in mind the public good, that all
local citizens deal exclusively with local
merchants with the hope that thus all
will benefit from the increased labor
program which the City is seeking to
carry out.
The foregoing resolution was moved
by Alderman Kapsch, seconded by
Alderman Tauzell, and declared adopted
on the following vote:
Ayes: Aldermen Homer, Kapsch, Kos
chak, Tauzell, Thompson, Mayor Wolff.
