, Flhereas, the City of Chula Vista, Cali£ornia, has made an
application for a loan and grant of federal funda from the Public
Wor� Administration, for the purpose of constructiag pavements on
streete in said city, and
9Jhereas, said applicatioa has been granted and is identiPied
and lmown as Docket 8025, and
Whereas the original application specified that all of the
. r�ork iavolved ia to be done by force accoimt, by and nnder the
direetion of the City Engineer snd Shp�t of streets of said cfty,
aad
�lhereas, the reasons therefor�•are hereby set forth as followa;
Firat: All of the money required other than the grant anst be
provided by a bond iasue to be voted by the citizens of Chula pista.
, Second: The citizens of Chula pista will have to bear the
eapenee of retiring these bonds in their taaes.
Third; �71th this project there will be employed the laborers,
craftsman �d skilled worl�en oY thia city only and the very ones
that are voting for the bonda and theae people are in a large sense
� property owners in the city.
Fourth: The� nill therefore receive a direot benefit by beiag
directly employed by and with the fvnda that they make available '
and which they will be called upon to.-repay in the futnre.
FiPths That if a contract is let to some contractor and
eapecially to saneone ontside the city, there will be no control over
the hiring of local labor or more specifieally the labor in the
city that naA needs this work. ,
The Contractor as a rule is only concerned in his profit
and to get the vrork completed in the shortest possible time. It is
true that he will be bmmd by the re�lations regarding the niring
of labor through the Aational ReemPlOyment �service clhich mqy be done
at first when the .job is started but there is no assurance that he
c�ill keep the local men oa the job nntil it ie completed as he can
dismiss ax�y man at axyy time and employ another as long as he compliea
with the requirement of getting thea through the National Reemploy-
ment Service.
, Siath: The City intends to hire .all nen throngh the_ National
Reemployment Service Yor this work, a branch office being maintaine3
no� in this city.
Seventh: There vrill be no contractors profits and no Yeea or
c�issions paid from money available. •
� Eighth: There will be men employed on this project that could
not work for a contractor on accoimt of their age bnt they need
eaployment as well.
Ninth: The :Sayor and Conncil of this City have presented thie
project so?ely from the standpoint of providing crork for the

unemployed aside Prom the fact that onr bonded debt will be .increased
, bnt work is considered primary in this case. The �ro`�'ect is not '
contemplated just to let a contract to someone or �nst. to get these
i�provementa but to enable men to go to wor:: even thongh they mnst '
bear the buxien o4 rep�ing the obligation ncurred by the bonds.
� Tenth: Onr fiaaneial situation with respect .to outstanding
bonda is such that we are' well able to repe�y mhatever borrased as
_ will be noted in our financial statement of the application; .
Therefore; be it' resolved .that it is hereby requested that �a
pexmit be granted to the City�oY Chnla Pista, Califoraia by the .
� Public ;9or1� Administrator to do said cvork by force accoimt and
not by contract.
