Municipal relief measures discussed with West Virginia governor
Charleston officials of the West Virginia League of Municipalities urged Governor Kump to broaden his call to allow the legislature to consider municipal financial relief bills. Secretary Nowlan said the measures are needed to ease municipalities' distressing revenue deficits. The governor indicated the regular session is the proper time for such considerations and that the extraordinary session should await the regular session. Representatives from nine cities reported 16 senators and 48 delegates were willing to consider the bills now. Mayor Dawson of Charleston, league president, said a joint effort will be made to win action. The league seeks a share of liquor profits, about 3 million dollars yearly, to fund relief measures.
