Funds. Mr. Carey, Administrator of P. W. A. funds f.dr Miiri..es ota has informed me that if the, City of Rochester sc (1eL;ii'es hu w-11l it re-.instated°t The following improvements are needed in the City, of Rochester and the estimated costs are as follows: E Idditions to Ijight Plant �� 059000.00 Boiler at Li-#ht Plant 170 ,000 .00 I�I Two Bridges, replaced . . . . . . . . . . . 35.000:00 i Completing Trunk Line Sewer . . . . o '0,000.00 Library . . .

On May 1st the Utility Board had "i�,'320,000.00 on hand i and the Library Board had $95,000.00 on hand. That is nearly 035,000.00 ; j rpore than is needed: 35 The members of the. Utility Beard say there is not envagh money on '. hand - apparently they do not knew what they are talking about, j In the past 3 years the City has received from Utility funds about i I 0290 ,000 as follows: .? jl Voluntary Gross Earnings tax (to lower City Taxes) .

The members of the Utility Board said at that time they had no money. If the present work program is carried out under P. W. A. there are i sufficient funds on hsnd to complete the job, j �i The Utility Board members say that a new Turbine is needed to cost $200 9000.00. By the time that is ordered and installed the Linht Plant will earn • 1250,000.00 Wby -should the City issue Bonds and pay Interest in order to a ! carry bid; balances in the banks on which the city receives a measly one- half of one per cent interest? ; Rochester's taxes are 20% less than Ste Paul or Minneapolis and other Cities iii our class - let us keep them down and aim for a City with- out Bonds by 1942 ! �I Come to the Council Meeting Monday night May 13th at 7:30 P.M. and demand that the City take advantage of P.W.A. funds.
