Uncle Sam tires of playing Santa in cities
Baltimore December 2. A warning that U S cities must soon expect to see Uncle Sam lay down the role of promiscuous Santa Claus to local governments was given before the National Municipal league by Thomas H Reed former University of Michigan professor and Republican program committee adviser. Reed warned the New Deal tends to pauperize local governments and make them dependent. He said planners must prepare to live within their own resources again as federal aid ends. He singled out large cities like New York and smaller towns with heavy WPA ties as worst hit and urged remedies including restricting WPA maintenance, budgeting repairs evenly, and drawing up a 10 year capital plan. He urged self support for overextended large and small cities and for casual recipients of federal aid to forget and return to self support.
