Aldermen Banovetz, Kapsch, Kos
chak and Tauzell explained their vote
for the adoption of the above resolution
by the following statement:
The City finances at the end of this
year, will not be adequate to take care
of the unemployed. After studying the
| situation for some time, we undertook
every effort and tried many different
ways how to raise funds and finally
came to the conclusion that the only
way to relieve the situation of 1000
people, who are directly dependent upon
the City support, is to borrow and
mortgage the future by the issuance of
! the proposed bonds Our contention
is that the periods of prosperity should,
depression. We also feel that it is the
duty of the present governing body of
the municipality to provide means
which will take care of the situation
for the first part of next year.
The largest portion of the bond issue
will be a direct benefit to labor and
business The proposed bonds for the
light and water plant will be an in
vestment which we believe will pay
back in principal with the interest by
the time the bonds will mature. In
event that industries situated in our
city will open up, in the near future,
and absorb the labor, which is our wish,
there is no resaon whatsoever why
these bonds, intended for relief, should
be sold.
We realize that these are the most
critical times our community has ever
experienced. The situation cannot be
solved only by members of the City
every individual citizen to cooperate in
every extent.
Experiencing the situation, it is our
honest recommendation to the citizens
of the City of Ely to vote for the pro-
posed bond issue.
Aldermen Homer and Thompson, and
Mayor Wolff explained their vote
against the adoption of the above
resolution by the following statements:
ALDERMAN HOMER: am of the
opinion that the unemployed can be
taken care of this year; then if the
unemployment situation does not i'm
prove, we can resort to a bond issue.
ALDERMAN THOMPSON: I voted
mo" on the bond issue resolution be-
cause the City's money has not been
spent equally this far
MAYOR WOLFF: I voted ''No" on
the bond issue resolution because I am
convinced that the unemployment re-
lief problem in this City can be cared
for without it, and I consider a bond
issue at this time ill-advised and dis
tinctly dangerous to the well-being of
the City.
