NAACP Questions Mill
City Candidates For
Office; Ask Views

The Minneapolis Branch Of N.
A.A.C.P. sent the following ques-
tionnaire to the two Mayoralty
candidates and to all Aldermanic
candidates on May 6, 1859.
THE Minneapolis Branch of the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People is in
terested in your position on the
following legislative issue:
Housing: The open occupancy"
ordinance presented to the Min
neapolis City Council in 1868 was
tabled by the council after the
City Attorney ruled that such an
ordinance was unconstitutional
No hearings were held on the
ordinance although proponents
had been promised public hearings.
The Minneapolis Branch NAACP
strongly believes that:
1. An ordinance should be re-
introduced and that public hear
ings should be held.
2. That an effective fair hous-
ing ordinance should be passed
by the Minneapolis City Coun-
Gil and that opinions as to it's
constitutionality should be left
up to the courts to decide.
a. viii you support an en-
forceable ordinance designed to
prevent discrimination in the
sale, lease, and rental of housing
accommodations on the grounds
of race, color, religion, or ma
tional origin?
b. Will you work towards it
passage?
THE NAACP is a non-partisan
civil rights organization, but we
are intensely interested in legis-
lation which improves the condi-
tons of all citizens of Mime
apolis, the State of Minnesota and
of the United States. Your COM
ments on the questions stated
above will be of invaluable aid to
us in formulating our legislative
program.
1--WE will appreciate an early re-
ply in order that we may report
