These Petitions were referred to the City Attorney.
At the suggestion of the Mayor, the Clerk read the
Rules and Regulations of the State Administration for the
administration of Home Relief.
The Mayor explained the many requirements and
questioned the advisability of attempting to administer
Home Relief under this law; stating that he believed the
expense involved would no doubt offset the 4o% return
promised fro., the State. He stated that: he believed the
matter should be carefully studied and that if there was no
objection he would appoint a Committee to make a study
of the Matter. He appointed the following Committee:
Aldermen Causer, Gill and flyers.
Eriier .,encv
In connection with work relief under this new
`; 07711:v
law, the Clerk reported_ that the Emergency Work Bureau had
Bureau
met and that they passed a resolution requesting the Com.-.:on
Appronri a-
Council to appropriate, as provided by Sec.10 of the Act,
�ti.on.
$2,500 or so much thereof as may be necessary, for them
to start their administration of unemployment relief.
Alderman Gill asked the reason for the amount
asked and it was explained that the full amount was not
immediately necessary as it was an estimate of the total
cost for the entire emergency period of certain
administrative expenses, such as Clerk hire,heat,light
and telephone. It was, therefore, suggestedthat a small
amount be authorized and that addi.tionel sums might be
appropriated if and when necessary.

Assessment
request for permission to make deferred payments
on his Cliff Street paving assessment, the
City Attorney submitted an agreement which he
had drawn to accomplish the desired result and
which had been approved by mr. Aust eii.
On motion of Alderman Causer,the agree-
ment was approved and the Chamberlain authorized

therewith upon its proper execution.
Rey
Property
Reporting on the Reyna lot Attorney
Treman stated that Mr. Allen had paid $110 for
_
the lot and that there was due and owning in
interest $17.33 and in taxes $9.20. He again
strongly questioned the validity and legality
of the City making any payment to Mrst Reyna,
pointing out that the Tax Law places upon
property owners at grievance period the obliga-
tion of seeing to it that their property is
correctly assessed and thus relieves the City
of the responsibility of any errors or mistakes
which are otherwise bound to creep in on each
Tax Roll. _
The Alderman agreed that Mrs. Reyna
should pay the $9.20 taxes, and that the City
should repay the cost'of the lot $110 plus
accrued interest of W.33.
The Clerk again questioned his right to
draw the check in the face of the Attorneys
advice that it would be illegal, but the mayor
pointed out and the Council agreed that their
resolution at the preceding meeting authorized
and directed the payment
Gla Age

tribution from the University making the total

that he was pleases to report that the miscellaneous

first time this year a small surplus.

and a7)nreciation to the University and the
