RESOLUTION
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF AIDERb'EN OF THE CITY OF WICHITA
FALLS that its City Manager be authorized to communicate with the govern-
ing bodies of every city of the United States of America in the following
manner to wit: That since the President of these United States has in
his recent addresses pointed the way for business to take constructive
measures in building up confidence, and re-establish normalcy in com-
merce, and - Since he has suggested that government should assume leader-
ship wherever helpful and possible and, since the City Government
throughout the land are the governmental agencies having the most
intimate contact with the greatest number of people, and since they
may at this critical moment assume leadership in restoring the old
American confidence and, since this City Government realizes that any
movement in this direction must be carried on in all parts of the nation
&217
at the same time in order to be of permanent good, - We, the Board of
Aldermen of the City of Wichita Falls, hereby resolve to sponsor and
further an intensive campaign to spur the public feeling to a higher
plane of confidence.
We hereby respectfully petition the City Government of each and
every city of the Nation to sponsor and finance the initial movement for a
similar plan for their respective cities. 7.e think the city governments
to be the most logical sources through which to unite the dynamic power of
the press, the radio, the screen, the schools, the churches and business
itself toward bolstering up the courage of the citizens of limited means
and helping to make potent the patriotism which calls upon each American
to do his utmost in starting the wheels of commerce. We believe that
such action on the part of American Cities would be an inspiration in
itself.
In case further information is desired the City manager is in-
structed to give all possible assistance.
Moved by Alderman Eddleman that the meeting be adjourned.
Motion seconded by Alderman McCutchen and carried.
The Board of Aldermen then adjourned.
READ AND APPROVED this the 27th day of October, 1930.
Mayor
