The Chairman of the Board and Councilman Bourdaghs explained the predicament the Board finds themselves in due to lack of funds in the City General Fund with which to sponsor recreation for 1951. They explained that this was due to the statutory limitation on assessments, that a bill was being pushed in the Legislature to remedy the situation and that our lack of funds was a temporary situation. Various members of the Advisory Committee expressed their ideas as to how we might raise sufficient funds with which to carry on our program for this year. Many good ideas were suggested and considerable discussion ~ollowed. The plan finally decided on was as follows: To contact the various organizations of the City and ask them to donate as large an amount as possible with which to start the fund, this to be done during February. Iti March, or as soon as possible after the Red Cross drive to conduct a house-to-house campaign for funds with the members of the Advisory Committe r s organizations making the contacts, the Board to organize the campaign and furnish materials for the work. The above plan was made D a motion by Lawrence Pozzini, seconded by C. D. Bour- daghs, carried unanimously. On motion, the meeting adjourned.
