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."
Wanted: Live-In Teachers, Chester Smolski
Wanted: Live-In Teachers, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit and Cleveland all have it--a residency requirement--and so does Providence. Having to live in the city for which you work has been deemed to be an important measure in helping to bring people back into the city, and that was the reason it was included in the 1980 Home Rule Charter."
How To Keep Teachers In R.I., Chester Smolski
How To Keep Teachers In R.I., Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Should Providence city employees be forced to live in the city? The Home Rule Charter, adopted five years ago, requires them to do so. The executive secretary of the Providence Teachers' Union states that this requirement should not apply to teachers. But, is dropping the residency requirement the answer to the problem of finding adequate numbers of substitute and full-time teachers?"
Residency And The Charter, Chester Smolski
Residency And The Charter, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"When Providence voters approved a home rule charter in 1980, they took a major step forward in choosing their own destiny, rather than relying on the General Assembly to approve many of their actions. To implement the resulting changes, the date for full compliance of the charter was set at 1983. And since that time, newly hired city workers are required to live in Providence."

"Improvement on Washington Street is needed. The Providence Board of Licenses is about to determine if the Saturn's Rings video arcade on Washington street should have its license renewed. The issue is as critical as it is controversial."
The Stimulus Of City Success Stories, Chester Smolski
The Stimulus Of City Success Stories, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"When George Voinovich, mayor of this city, spoke to the 300 persons gathered from all parts of this country to discuss successes in cities, he had the undivided attention of the audience. After all, this was the man who brought the city back from the brink of bankruptcy and has now given it clear direction and a solid financial base."
Providence Needs An Effective 'Land Bank' Policy, Chester Smolski
Providence Needs An Effective 'Land Bank' Policy, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Recent disclosures on the purchase of vacant lots in Providence by certain city officals have raised two serious questions, only one of which has been addressed."
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."
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."
