QUESTIONS

ARE-PUT
Unemployed
Executive
Asks
for
Information
From
City

Presenting
a
questionairre
on
unemployment
matters
from
the
executive
of
the
Unemployed
Association
of
Prince
Rupert,
a
d'
legation
consisting
of
Charles
Lord,
spokesman,
R.
Redmond,
George
Murray
and
Ex-Aid.
Oscar
Larsen
appeared
before
the
city
council
at
Its
meeting
last
night.
Answers
to
some
of
the
questions
on
the
questionable
were
given
by
the
Council,
Information
on
some
of
the
others
being
lacking
so
far
as
the
city
was
concerned.
In
preliminary
remarks.
Mr.
Lord
referred
briefly
to
the
situation's
seriousness."
We
are
sitting
on
dynamite,"
he
declared.
In
the
near
future
a
general
meeting
of
the
unemployed
was
to
be
held
and
jthe
central
executive
was
seeking
proper
Information
to
lay
befon;
that
meeting
so
that
responsibility
for
the
situation
might
be
placed
the
door
where
it
rightfully
b
longed.
In
view
of
this,
the
ques-tlonalrre
s
had
been
prepared
for
submission
to
the
city
council
as
being
the
body
from
which
information
was
most
likely
to
be
re
celveqV
Apparently
there
had
been
gross
mismanagement.
The
first
question
was
as
to
when
the
city
had
received
advice
that
the
municipal
unemployment
relief
program
had
been
cut
from
$100,000
to
$47,000.
Notice
had
een
received
on
December
22,
the
Mayor
replied.
The
next
question
asked
If
such
a
cut
had
been
general
among
all
municipalities
and
if
all
municipal
ities
had
been
notified
at
same
time.
Mayor
Orme
could
not
answer
definitely
to
this
but
he
did
not
think
there
had
been
discrimination
First
a
cut
of
fifty
percent
had
been
made
In
the
appropriations
and
then
an
additional
five
percent.
The
case
of
Burnaby
in
which
$720,000
had'
been
at

asked
for
but

percent

the
query.
