Once again,

Americans preserve the continuum of the
democratic process begun 1853 years ago
with the Inauguration of our first president.
Once again, the republic has placed in
it's highest office man for whom its citizens
have shown extraordinary trust and esteem.
Once again, people of other nations look
toward this man, this city, this day, as
symbolizing this democratic process-an
inspiration and a source of hope to freedom
loving peoples everywhere.

Aside from immediate dam

cerned that traffic loads can't
be handled II eight streets are
converted into shopping, rec
reation and housing develop
ments. as proposed in the re-

Provision for citizen shelters
from enemy attack. Atomic
shelters must be planned for
persons unable TO eyacuate the
city, Civil Defense Director
John z. Fondahl said. The
original plan did not call for
shelter construction.

Other Recommendations
In addition to recommending

That income tax money be
distributed by the State con-
troller to the various counties
and Baltimore and that distri-
button to municipalities be
made by the counties in which
the municipalities lie.
That distribution Of racine
funds and business franchise
taxes be discontinued and that
the income tax distribution
formula be increased to a per-

pensate the local governments
for the loss of revenue oc-
casioned by giving up these two
tax revenue sources.
That future increases in aic
to education be channeled into
the direct grant programs ir
order to decrease the relative
emphasis on equalizatio r
