In concluding his .remarks,Mayor Wilson mentioned a number of things as being desirable and well worthy of earnest consideration, but called attention to the limitations placed on the City in the matter of issuing Bonds by, the State Constitution, and the necessity of holding in reserve a sufficient taxing power to enable the City to meet such an emergency as the destruction of its Fire Fighting equipment] By direction of the Mayor the Clerk read the Amendment Number 13, to the State Constitution. From the remarks of the visiting representatives of the various Civic Organizations it became evident that a more systematic method of attacking the problem was needed, and in or- der to arrive at a more definite plan of proceedure, it was deemed advisable for the Council on its part, to crystalize its pains, and for the other bodies to also formulate their plans and at a subsqquent meeting to endeavor to arrive at a general uhderstanding. 151hereupon the representatives of said Organizations withdrew to the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce, and the Council continued its session by further discussion, which finally resulted in the passi Ing of a motion auUorizing the Mayor to appoint a committee charged with the duty of se - OPTIONS curing options on properties suitable for the location of a City Hall and Auditorium and al COM.: acreage not less than 60 acres, so located as to be capable of providing runways of half a mile for a Landing Field.
