Railroad officials and the State Roads
Commission and he was convinced,
not only that the railroads would
not go along with any plan, at least
for a long time, and that the State
Roads Commission definitely would
not help finance it. He further point
ed out that y the Federal Govern
ment would not sanction such pro-
ject at this time, even if it could be
undertaken, and q that no Federal
funds would be available unless the
city matched them dollar for dollar,
and that would mean the floating of
another bond issue, which, in turn,
would necessitate the raising of the
tax rate to meet the interest pay
ments.
The Mayor then said that he just
didn't believe in fooling the public
on this underpass question and he
wouldn't consider calling another
meeting with the railroads and the
State as it would just be a waste of
time. A poll of the Council showed
that they all were in agreement with
the Mayor and so the underpass idea
was definitely killed
The rest of the meeting was taken
up with discussing the needs in vari-
Gus parts of the city for streets, al
leys and sewers, and this discussion
brought to light the discouraging
facts that y the city does not have
either the men or equipment to carry
out the work already authorized by
the Council and provided for in the
budget, and q that it does not have
the money to do several badly need
ed jobs that the Councilmen want
done in their wards.
Time will not permit my enumer-
ating all these projects that are held
up for lack of funds, or lack of men
and equipment, but next week l will
give you a list of some of the more
important ones.
