<br /> .
<br /> Dr. R. T. Burnett addressed the council in behalf of the Citizens Committe
<br /> of the Salvation Army raising funds for the relief and care of transients. Dr.
<br /> Burnett pointed out that the funds secured are used only for relief purposes and not
<br /> used in any way toWard the SUpport of the Salvation Army. Fur'ther, it was his opini n
<br /> that the goUerning body of the city owed a duty to this transient group and that the
<br /> should be given some consideration. He realized that 'funds had not been appropriate
<br /> for relief but requested that the amount that might be granted be expended from the
<br /> Emergency Fund. Councilman Farrington, Chairman of the Finance Comrdttee, stated th
<br /> he had the greatest respect in the world for the Salvation Army and the difficult ta
<br /> facing the Citizens Committee i~ soliciting funds. Word had reached him that the
<br /> Citizens Committee had pledged $25,00.00 of the estimated goal of $5000.00 but he
<br /> felt that if the members of the committee were unable to secure voluntary subscripti
<br /> then the Common Council was under no moral obligation to force people to make contri
<br /> butions through taxation. C. C. Page, emember of the Finance Committee, stated that
<br /> there were no provisions in the budget for this type ~f charity and didn't see where
<br /> the money VlO uld come from. Mayor Large and other members expressed opinions on this
