MAYORS FAVOR
z BILLION FOR
PUBLIC WORKS
Suggest Low U. S. Liquor
Taxes so Cities May Share
In Resultant Revenues
By International News Service


Continuation of the Civil Works
program until the 100000
workers on its rolls have been
absorbed in regular employment.
and an additional appropriation
of $4,000, 100000 for public works
construction next year, was
advocated by the United States
conference Of mayors, represent.
ing major civic governments, sd
a conference today with Harry
L. Hopkins, Federal relief admin
istrator. 4
Hopkins saw the mayors in
executive session.
Ask Low Liquor Tax
AS a solution of the PRESSING
financial problem Of many citied,
the mayors asked the Federal
liquor taxes be held at a low
level to permit municipalities td
add a local tax. The mayors
claimed:
"The repeal Of the Eighteenth
Amendment already has resulted
in imposing upon the cities tre-
mendOuS responsibilities Of reg
ulati0n. Prior to repeal it was
recognized that municipalities
were entitled to be the principal
recipients Of tax revenues from
this source. This policy was re-
versed, however, upon Iegaliza-
ton of beer, in that the Federal
and State governments appro-
priated to themselves most Of
the resulting revenues"
ASK NATIONAL RELIEF
The mayors urged today estaba
lishment of a national relief orr
ganization to replace the present
State agencies through which the
Government has been pumping red
lief aid. Their statement chargedA
"SOme of these State agencies
have been, and are now oper-
ating on a partisan basis. It
was the cities which bore the
brunt Of the relief load until
1882. a burden which forced
many local governments into a
financial straitjacket. Not until
1882 did the Federal Govern
ment assume any responsibility
for relief Of restitution"
