ON THIS
OCCASION
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

As can be seen by the pro-
ceedings of the City Council in
another part of this paper, the
new council became busy al
once TO cope with the many
problems caused by the past
four years of depression and TO
keep Ely enjoying the distinc-
ton of being one of the best
governed towns on the range.
By reading the proceedings 1t
can be seen that many meas
ures to keep this reputation
have been put in force.
With a cut in the ore valu-
atoms of this city by S777,795
or from S7,711,3S0 to $685.
SOS, and the reductions allowed
by the homestead taxation act
in the state, the revenues of the
city will suffer and the council
will have their work cut out to
steer the financial ship between
the rocks of decreased revenues
and keep it on an even keel.
That they will make an effort
to do so is shown in their de-
termination at the organization
meeting and the meetings since.
A change was made in the
relief measures which will
mean increased funds from the
government for this section.
The Mesaba range towns took
advantage of the situation early
in the game and have received
big allotments of ERA and
other funds. Requests for work
and aid from the city, except
in very urgent cases, are being
referred to the ERA office. APP
plicants are asked to register
with Investigator Hewett or
Poor Commissioner West. Here
tofore when Ely was mentioned
for funds the officials in the
Twin Cities claimed that the
city was caring for relief and
they could not see any i'm
mediate necessity for assistance
as only a few were registered
for governmental relief.
Mayor BanovetZ and the
members of the Council solicit
the cooperation of the citizens
in the work mapped out and
being put in tangible form for
the betterment of the city. The
mayor and the council feel that
the working together of all fac
tons will have the effect of
keeping Ely in the forefront of
Minnesota cities. Talk things
over with the city fathers and
work unitedly for the good of
Ely and its people. All are
acquainted with business meth
DDS and welcome friendly
chat but draw the line on carp
ing and uninstructive criticism.

A statement from the NAACP
expressed surprise that so mucn
comment has arisen in Pennsyi-
vania over this law.
"The Pennsylvania law Is almost
word for word the same law when
has been on the statute books oil
New York State since 1915" the
NAACP declared. illinois has a
similar law and so has Ohio. New
Jersey passed new and stronger
law this yer sponsored by Assem-
blymn Mercer Burrell. Massachu-
setts and Connecticut have such
laws as does Nebraska and Michi-
gan. The same kind of law fail
ed to pass in the Indiana legisla-
ture by only eight votes. Pennsyl-
vania is far behind the trend OF
the times"
The NAACP said 1t was inform
ed that Philadelphia. the Cradle
of Liberty" and the "City OF Bro.
therly Love-" was most bitter over
the law. In this city with over
million population. 100000 ol
which is Negro, o colored person
has hard time buying a sand
wich anywhere outside the color
ed district. For years Philadel

low Negroes to sit on the frs
floor. Practically the same condi
