D next we hear from irwo schlays on the topic of government for all W ®Tis a glorious & beautiful room to be working in All we've heard tonight is Mr. Sattershwaite and the consul are not doing their jobs now we've been asked many times you people get staffs of four five three each one of you need a staff to take care of some of these continually continuing and I don't know why they're continuing why is it that every problem so we can't go skiing mudslide, why maybe we'd slide into the sangamon go all the way down to new orleans right, joe? okay, folks when are you going to do something mr. Satterthwaite? I heard very good tonight you didn't saythat tonight So we are turning the tide we are gonna get through & my dear Mrs. Huth & I are going to have many conferences on how this thing is gonna be turned around let's start right out there with the east end of town do you folks know how long those things have been nothing but pebbled roads and before they were pebbled roads they were mud roads and the oldest part of town and yet when you go out there so you can go down on glover street get the garages ready for the school district why didn't we go out there four miles an hour three or four miles why does it make a difference where you've got a garage take the what difference does it make? why do you take property away from people who can use it to advantage for this community do you think there would be a better scholastic system here with what we're doing for our kids by having that bus there we're worrying about tax money but that's the way everybody looks at it if you each had a staff of three or four you would be finishing. Finishing finishing not digging deeper holes. Deeper holes for someone to fall in but that's the way everybody looks at it now how are we going to get this done? the mayor wants nothing done except what he wants done he's not gonna do it. why should he? a cushy job he don't have to work does he work? I doubt that myself except for his own benefit now I don't want the rest of you people to assume that is a good thing for this city because far be it from [clears throat] it being a fact so what am I going to get done here on this council floor every Friday night it's better t what the hell does he think he's talking about if you guys wanna know, you ask jack waller you're not talking right another lawyer, another lawyer he made himself judge, jury, and prosecuting attourney what is that called? You've got those People who look over things and say What is that bureau we have here? Oh I'm getting so old I'm starting to forget things I always used to know [pound table] get right joe, are you listening sir? thank you okay. Now. what I'm trying to get across to you we have the building check everything check everything well [clears throat obscenely] my good friend you and I will walk down that railroad ditch and see the flow see the flow where do you see the water around town where do you see a flow of water downtown the sewers, but we don't see look at the flow of water downhill and where did it come from? this was soapy water going past the ballfield on the other side of university. East of¾ broadway going down that and where'd it go to? right behind the peoples' house there where the ditch goes east and where did it come from. Where do you think it came from?
