response of the Commissioners to reso-
lutions adopted at the mass meeting
is most gratifying He added:
'The Commissioners may be as
sured of the public support of our
committee in appealing to the Federal
Bureau of the Budget and to Congress.
The committee will also help in trying
to better coordinate the work of
public and private relief agencies. AS
I have before stated, we are not ask

power which Congress alone can give
us to care as a municipality for our

should not object.
