<br />
<br /> 9th - "I am attaching letter from Mr. Wm. A. Smith, State Administrator, Emer -
<br /> gency Relief Administration, in which he asks for our opinion and consent to merge the work
<br /> of the Project Engineer with our Engineering Department. -
<br /> There is very little available space in.the Engineer's office, and his
<br /> force has about all the work they can do. However, if you wish, i will be glad ~ work out
<br /> the most satisfactory arrangements possible to take care.of the force and work in the way sug-
<br /> viceges~edinbyMr'the matterSmith*is ASrequested.,the appointment of the Project Engineer was approved by you, your ad-
<br /> Motion of Mr. Brooks that the City Manager inform ~Lv. Smith that our Engineering
<br /> Department does not have the personnel, office seato, or time to take over the work of the Pro-
<br /> je ct Engineer, was adopted. -
<br />
<br /> 10th - The Manager stated that he had been advised by the State Emergency Relief
<br /> Bureau that it would be necessary for the Oity to furnish the necessary .office supplies and
<br /> equipment for the Relief Bureau, or pay the rent on the office furniture and equipment which
<br /> had previously been oaid by the C[W.A. The O.W.A. had rented furniture and office eGuipment
<br /> whic~ was costing approximately $Y5.00 per month and as the Emergence Relief Administration
<br /> declined to pay this rent further, on motion of Mr. Brooks, the M~nager was requested to ad-
<br /> vise at the n~xt meeting whether it would be preferable to rent or purchase necessary equip-
<br /> merit for the Emergency Relief office and what the expense would be under each plan.
<br />
<br /> llth - The Manager stated in connection with the uncompleted C.W.A. projects that
<br />he had been unable tc secure necessary electricians through the Relief Bureau to do the neces-
<br />sary electrical work on the Municipal Annex and dormitories at the City Home, in view of which
<br />and the fact that necessary materials were on hand, he had arranEed to have the work done un-
<br />der the supervisio~ of the 0ity Engineer who had temoorarily enlarged his force sufficient to
<br />do ~his work. The Manager further stated that there-was some doubt as to whethem necessary
<br />plasterers and carpenters could be secured m~der the Work Relief plan now in effect and as
<br />plastering materials are on hand that cost more than $~O0;OQ which would spoil unless used
<br />~ithin a short time, recommended that he be authorized to have this work done provided suffi-
<br />cient' help could not be secured through the Relief. Bureau.
<br />
<br /> On motion of Mr. Hutchins, the Manager's recommendation was approved.
