IN THE MATTER CF THE CONTINUANCE CF THE
LODI OFFICE CF THE DEPARTMENT CF EMPLOY -
KENT AND ON NEW QUARIFRS RIZ THE SAME.
WHEREAS for the past five years, this City Council
of the City of Lodi has furnished quarters, including water,
light, heat and janitor service, for the Lodi office of the State
Department of Employment, without any cost whatever to either
the State of California or to the Federal Government, and,
WHEREAS this City council, noting that the quarters
occupied in the City Hall were becoming inadequate for the use
of the said Department of Employment, and the City itself being
in need of the room occupied, did appoint a Committee of its
members to secure space in some privately owned building and to
lease the same at this City's expense for occupancy by the said
Department of Employment, and,
WHEREAS, after considering all locations available In
Lodi, there being few such suitable in Lodi, the said Committee
recommended that, instead of leasing, better quarters could be
obtained more suited in space and location for this purpose by
erecting a building, part of which would accomodate the Employment
Department, and,
WHEREAS, thereupon, and before any action had been taken
to discontinue the Lodi office of the Department of Employment,
this Uity Council did order plans and specifications drawn for
such a building, and the same were prepared and submitted to this
Council and approved by it wherein in excess of one thousand two
hundred (1,200) square feet of space would be provided for the
said Department, in a very suitable location, and,
WHEREAS, despite these actions taken, we are informed
that certain Federal officers of said Department continue to
recommend that the Lodi office be merged with that in Stockton,
solely on the grounds that the present office space is inadequate
and we do not believe that these officers have given full
consideration of our acts and intentions in this matter and of the
benefits of this office to this community, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED, by this the City Council of the City of
Lodi, that MR. FRAN( H. BUCK, our representative in Congress and
MR. HIRAM JOIANSCN our Senator, be urged to use their efforts to
effect the retention of this office in Lodi and to apprise the
Department of Employment that the continuation of this office i s
of utmost importance to employer and employed in the Lodi District.
