To the Honorable the Board' of Aldermen,
Gentlemen:
City of Somerville, Massachusetts
Executive Department
June 26, 1930.
Upon the urgent request of numerous fraternal, patriotic and local
organizations, I approved the use of certain City property for_carnival3
conducted by theee organizations for the express purpose of providing funds
for relief of^ESe'ir members who are unemployed, sick or in need of assistance
After giving these carnivals a fair trial, and upon a further personal
investigation, I have found that'these organizations have invariably
allowed 'the carnivals to be conducted by outsiders, and that the organization
receives a-very meagre guarantee. • Instead of being a benefit to the'.organization
and its members, I am convinced that the principal beneficiaries
are the carnival proprietors. For these reasons, I urge your Honorable
Board to adopt, as soon a-s possible, an ordinance prohibiting the use of
City property for carnivals.
I will per3onally_apprj3ve_n_Q_more permitj_fqr_ carnlval_s.,_and after
thQSe which have alre'ady been granted have expired, I will allow no more carnivals
to be conducted.
Yours very truly,
John J, Murphy.
