RESOLUTION
Commending The Honorable
WILLIAM G. STRATTON
GOVERNOR OF ILLINOIS
WHEREAS$ GOVERNOR WILLIAM G. STRATTON, during and
after the 1959 biennial session of the Illinois State Legislature,
afforded material aid to Illinois municipalities by his general,
support of home rule for municipalities, vetoing a series of Bills
which would have required the additional, and expensive publi-
cation of financial transactions, and particularly by his veto
of House Bill 713 which would have ended police -fire cooperation
as practiced in Evanston and elsewhere; and
• WHEREAS, GOVERNOR WILLIAM G. STRATTON has exhibited
statesmanship qualities for which he should be commended:
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, this City Council on
behalf of itself, the Mayor, City Manager, City Officials and the
residents of this community, do hereby express appreciation to
GOVERNOR WILLIAM G. STRATTON for establishing an enviable record
of supporting the idea that cities should be allowed management
of matters purely local in nature a,hd for his veto of House Bill
713 which would have discouraged development and experiment of
new technics in municipal administration.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this resolution be made a
part of the permanent records of the city and a copy executed by
the Mayor and attested by the City Clerk be sent to THE HONORABLE
WILLIAM G. STRATTON, Governor of the State of Illinois.
