We appeax again today to reiterate our conviction that to f'ully implement the Human Rights Ordinance passed by the Council in 1969, the department must be more adequately flinded and, consequent�jr, more adequately ste.ffed than it has been up to now. The ordinance charges the depaxtment not only to be a receiver of complaints of discrimination in housing, financing of housing, in public accommodations, in employment and in education but also "to foster, through education, concilistion and persuasion, the prepaxation of legislation and policies Por action by �overnmental and private units, and throu�h such other methods as he shall deem fit, the maximum possible degree of equsl opportunities and equal rights for all persons, regard� less of race, color, creed, or national origin or anceatry." Achievement of this goal, that is "the maximum possible degree of equal opportunities and equal rights Por all persons" is imperative to the welfare of all citizens of St. Paul. We urge that the Department of Human Rights be better f�nded in 197o so that it can realistically work toward this goe1.
