RESOL•UTION
WH�',REAS, Congress is expected to authorize the construction
of a considerable number of na�al vess�ls in the near ftiiture, and,
1�VHEREAS, the Pacific Coast .Naey Yards have established the
most economical and ef�icient records in the oonstruction of
ships of this type. They are equipped �iith the neeessary facilities
and the s;�illed �orl�en are available, and,
�4�II�EAS, the Present tem�orarily large �rorking force at the
yard will.necessarily have to be drastically reduced in a short
time, to further aggravate the ur:employment probl�m in this distriet,
unless additional new construction is av�arded soon, and,
��-IEREAS, Out of the last building program of thirty-seven
ships, only four small destroyers, representing less than five per
eent of the estimated total expenditures f'or the thirty-seven ships,
were assi�,ned far construction to the Pacific Coast. Therefore,
BE IT RESOI,VID, That we recommend that at leas� tv�o crui sers
be av�arded for construction to the PUGET �OTJr'L' NAVY Y'�F.D ana that the
�aci�'ic Cozst be awarded a r.�ore proportionate share of any naval
construetion progr�m undertal�en, tc� avoid discrimination anc� to
stizmzlate the ship-building �.ndustry on the Pacific Coast.
Passed and adopted by the City �ommission of the City of
Bremerton, si�ned by the Bdayor ana attested by the City Clerk .
in authentioation of such passa�e this day oY
