Just and equitable Jewish representation on the municipal councils was urged today by a delegation composed of Emanuel Neumann, member of the executive of the Jewish Agency and acting head of the political department; Dr. A. Granofski, head of the land department of the Jewish National Fund (Keren Kayementh), and Chertok, Jewish labor leader, in an interview with the Acting High Commissioner. The delegation also demanded that Prime Minister MacDonald’s promise regarding a public works program, contained in the letter to Dr. Chaim Weizmann modifying the Passfield White Paper, be put into effect, that steps be taken to facilitate the tax payments of the Keren Kayemeth and that the water-supply of the city of Jerusalem be increased. The Acting High Commissioner promised consideration of these questions.
