<br />Rec & Coresp Spc'y.
<br />Whereas, Labors Civic Committee he.s presented to the C1 - ty Council a. petition requesting th ^t
<br />R
<br />they cquire the Electric Utility in the City, end
<br />Whereas, The City Council's action in regard to this petition was not very favorable as a whole
<br />end
<br />Whereas, All evidence presented to the City Council indicated tht;t this endeavor was good and
<br />to the intrest of the Community as a whole, and
<br />Whereas. The acquiring of this utility would mean a big saving to the tax payers and consumers
<br />of. electricity, and
<br />Whereas, The money needed to buy this utility- could be raised by floating bonds which would
<br />be bought with the inderstandi.ng that they would wait for repayment from profits from
<br />the utility with about 3% interest, and
<br />Whereas, This would mean no immediate expense to the tax pryer, end.
<br />Whereas, By law the petition makes it mandatory for the council to submit this question to
<br />the voters of this City Ps soon as popsible, and
<br />Whereas, If this question were submitted to the voters, for their decision, in the November
<br />election it would me €n a saving of about $7000.00 which it would cost for a special
<br />election, Therefore be it
<br />Resolved, That We, Bendix Local Union No. 9, UAW &, do hereby go on record urking the immediate
<br />adoption of the petition in order that the election necessary for the acau.irin- of
<br />this utility mpy take glace along with the November, 1938 election, And be it further
<br />Resolved, That immediate action is taken.
