Census Bureau Seeks Partners In Business, Chester Smolski
Census Bureau Seeks Partners In Business, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"By now you should have seen the advertisements for the U.S. Census Bureau to apprise us of the forthcoming census on April 1, 2000. And there will be plenty more since the Bureau has budgeted $167 million on this push for public awareness, something it has never perviously paid to do."
Providence's Unending Quest For Cash, Chester Smolski
Providence's Unending Quest For Cash, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The mayor of Providence has a big problem. How can he balance a budget that addresses the needs of an increasingly large number of people, yet deal with a declining tax base that is less able to pay for theses extra services?"
Keeping The Pols Honest With Regionalization, Chester Smolski
Keeping The Pols Honest With Regionalization, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The New England Governor's Conference will hold a meeting in Hartford on December 6 to address regional economic issues that are common to the six states located in the northeast corner of the country. During that same week, the towns of Warren and Bristol in Rhode Island will hold public sentiment for the sharing of schools in the two towns. As disparate as these two meetings appear to be, there is a commonality of purpose that marks both: regionalism."
The Benefits Of Regionalization, Chester Smolski
The Benefits Of Regionalization, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Bristol County is unusual among Rhode Island's five counties. Not only is it contiguous with a county of the same name in an adjoining state, but it also consists of only three towns--Barrington, Warren and Bristol--and is one of the smallest of the 3,141 counties in this country."
Who Are Nation's Poor? Census Pores Over Stats, Chester Smolski
Who Are Nation's Poor? Census Pores Over Stats, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"A wise old Englishman once said, 'The governments are keen on gathering statistics; they collect them, add them and raise them to the nth power, but you must never forget that in the first instance they are given by the village watchman who just puts down what he damn well pleases.'"
Some Modest Progress In Providing Affordable Housing In R.I., Chester Smolski
Some Modest Progress In Providing Affordable Housing In R.I., Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Affordable housing is a major problem in Rhode Island and the Northeast as monthly figures issued by government, realtors, builders and others constantly remind us. But as bad as the situation is, there are some encouraging actions being taken that offer hope for the future."
Taking Steps To Solve The Country's Housing Woes, Chester Smolski
Taking Steps To Solve The Country's Housing Woes, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The problems of housing in today's America force us to look back almost a quarter of a century in time to the Great Society era, for it was during this period that some of the most progressive and far-reaching housing legislation in this nation was enacted."
Missed Opportunity In S. Kingston, Chester Smolski
Missed Opportunity In S. Kingston, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"They were well dressed, although informally. They came with their spouses. They were articulate, educated, and generally did not raise their voices. They looked like solid middle-class Americans--homemakers, civic-minded, and concerned citizens, so it was difficult to understand their reaction to the proposed housing development."
Energy Conservation For Cities And States, Chester Smolski
Energy Conservation For Cities And States, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"During this winter season the 68 percent increase in the price of fuel oil has made us painfully aware of our dependance on foreign oil."
Downtown Plan Needed For Future Growth, Chester Smolski
Downtown Plan Needed For Future Growth, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It appears that the Providence downtown is finally turning the corner. A proposal to beautify the entrance into the city center from Route 95 with trees, flags, parks, art work and new illumination has been submitted to the Providence Redevelopment Authority. This turn to aesthetics, coming on the heels of considerable physical improvement of roads and buildings accomplished and in progress, is an indication that downtown interests recognize the lack of an attractive city 'gateway' and want to do something about it. This is decidedly a praiseworthy action on the part of the private sector."
Role For Business Leaders In A Cleaner Downtown, Chester Smolski
Role For Business Leaders In A Cleaner Downtown, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The recent sales promotion by the Providence Intown Merchants Association proved quite successful. Five-cent bus rides and bargain sales generated considerable business, especially on Saturday, normally a quiet day for retail sales in the downtown. This well illustrates what is possible when salesmanship and cooperation among downtown merchants are used to full advantage."
Stimulus For R.I. Housing, Chester Smolski
Stimulus For R.I. Housing, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It was the single largest bond issue in the state and one of the largest in the nation. The Rhode Island Housing and Mortgage Finance Corporation (HMFC) has sold $163 million of tax-free bonds, $142 million of which will be made available at below market interest rates to persons with annual incomes up to $30,000, to buy homes in Rhode Island. This will have a sizable impact on the local real estate market and increase housing opportunities for many prospective home buyers."
