Idle employment plan gains favor at Waterloo meeting
A proposal for a voluntary fund to create idle employment through public improvements received strong support at a Waterloo conference. Leon A. Link outlined a city survey to secure unemployment statistics and fund civic projects, modeled on last year’s relief efforts but broader in scope. Debates over the Virden sewer project and a proposed alternative main in the east district continued, with Mayor Frisbie presenting cost estimates and cautions about feasibility.
