Show could do it under the provisions of the Emergency Relief Act, known as the Pope- Allen bill. It could be done by a municipality or by some associatibn of municipalities. I feel very strongly that the matter is of such wide scope and importance that it ought to be of state concern and that it should be accomplished by some such agency as was provided for by the last legislature. I feel also that it is of such importance and magnitude, of such general interest and concern that it should receive immediate legislative action. If that can be it should be acted upon at the legislatures next meeting and it form a subject of the call of the Governor when he next convenes it. Now I realize that I have passed lightly over or have not referred to at all a number of specific problems that might be raised and if any one desires to ask any specific questions I shall be glad to attempt their answer. But what seems of importance to me is the end. If my client, a public corporation, has decided that it must acquire certain property and it cannot be acquired by agreement it will direct me to proceed to condemn. It does not desire to know the mechanical or legal details by which the end sought is to be realized. It desires a message to Garcia, a result. I feel, I think we all feel? that this thing must be done. If you so agree it can be. If you also feel that the State should undertake this task then there are no Legal problems of any great difficulty or complexity. 32 - |
