A RESOLUTION requesting the impo-
sition of price and wage controls
WHEREAS, in the wake of skyrocketing, uncontrollable
price increases, and ever increasing wage demands, all of
which indicate a continued condition of economic instability,
and
WHEREAS, as a result of this instability, local govern-
ments cannot adequately plan future revenue and expenditures
for normal budgeted operations and, therefore, cannot carry out
their responsibilities as set forth in federal, state and local
laws, and
WHEREAS, the inability to be able to adequately plan
future budgets could likely result in a complete breakdown
of city services. It is now, therefore
RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BREMERTON
that the Congress of the United States pass legislation either
ordering the imposition of price controls on all retail goods
and services and set a ceiling on wages or providing for
imposition of such price and wage controls upon executive order
of the President of the United States. It is further
RESOLVED that this City Council gives its full support
for the imposition of price and wage controls herein called for.
PASSED AND APPROVED by the City Council of the City of
Bremerton, signed by the Mayor and attested by the City Clerk
in authentication of such passage this 20th day of November, 1974.
GLENN K. JARSTAD, Mayor
