Large Public Moeting Gives Tacit Approval to Proposals For Unemployment Work Here No opposition to the two bylaws to be voted on Friday developed at the meeting of ratepayers held in the council chamber last night. There was a large attendance, even standing room being at a premium. Those present listened patiently to explanations given by the mayor and aldermen, asked a few questions and then adjourned. It seemed to be an almost unanimous gather-1 lng in favor of the bylaws. In opening. Mayor Orme explain-1 ed the object of the meeting. There ( were approximately 400 unemployed in the city many of whom were re ;ldents and married people with families. Work had to be found for these and advantage had been taken of an offer from the government. The two pieces of work provided for In the bylaws were designed to give a maximum of employment at a minimum cost. If the men were hungry they had to be fed, the mayor said. It was better to give them some ful work so that they might retain their self-respect, rather than nake . them the recipients of charity. If providing t.,,. for f- ,u the unemployment i,,m would have to come out of next, "U6" , 1 of Sitka, years revenue. .- 'The' members of Hho party were Fred Wesch asked if the $1600 Sunday moming from the provided by the governments had surf.beaten rock by the passing to be repaid. The answer was that,motor$n, 31, and taken u, It would not. Mr. Wesch: "Is it true that If the bylaws are defeated the city cannot claim the money from the gov ernment?" The Mayor: "That Is the situation." Frank Hart said he was satisfied with the road bylaw but not with the sewer. He told of incidents in connection with his own sewer payments. The engineer explained that this was a main sewer and would have to "be built by the city anyway. While the cost would be higher under the relief plan the work done would prove useful. Alderman Macdonald explained that the council had expected a larger sum from the government for relief work but had been disappointed. The aim of the city council was to take care.' of the unemployment. They were faced with a more acute condition than had, been seen here before in many years. The council had acted in the beet possible manner. One reason for choosing Eleventh Avenue was because it cost as much to maintain the avenue at present as it would to make the payment on the improvements. In reply to' a question the engineer stated that every man on this work would have to do as much as he was able. Any man who lay down on trie Job would have to get out right away. The Hest Proposal M. P. McCaffery suggested that the only way to take advantage of the offer of the government was to undertake this work, which was mostly labor. He had looked over the city and come to the conclusion that this was the best proposal.
