Broadway, and Mr. Wolford stated that this would be done. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Councilman Herrin referred to the REVENUE SHARING big "windfall" that had come to the City from the Federal Government, and commented, on his feelings relative to revenue sharing. He stated that it had come as a big surprise to him to hear Representative Hanna point out that revenue sharing does have strings attached, and that very possibly Washington might decide to change its mind even before it happens. He further stated that it seemed to him that the Federal Government was always deliberately trying to disregard States' rights and home rulei that revenue sharing was a concept of a socialist economy which has no basis related to reality; that the majority of the people do not know the difference between private funds and public funds; that every time the government opens up a new office, it is sucking the blood of the economy out of the entire system; that even though services are being provided to people, the economy suffers; and that freedom is the most important ingredient. He moved that Council review revenue sharing because government cannot give us money that it does not have. There was no second to this motion, and Mayor Griset stated that integrity would demand that he vote against such a motion. RECESS At ~:10 P.
