Medicine Hat council ends scrip negotiation with Aberhart
Medicine Hat city council ends its negotiations with Premier Aberhart over stamped scrip. The premier declined to act and the council will not accept prosperity certificates. A prior meeting in Mayor Bulivant’s office discussed a verbal offer for issuing scrip valued at 2800 dollars in exchange for withholding a 1900 dollar monthly relief grant. The council sought written confirmation of the offer but Aberhart indicated he needed the council’s general stance on scrip cooperation.
