April 18-May 4, 1985
************************
WHEREAS, Americans enjoy more political and economic freedom than
any other people on earth, this great nation is known the
world over as the land of liberty; and
WHEREAS, of all the rights we have, one of the most precious is the
right of each citizen to own, use or transfer real property
as he or she sees fit, so long as the rights of others are
not infringed upon; and
WHEREAS, above all, we must guard against taking for granted the
rights that come with home ownership. Owning one's home
and preserving these rights fosters democracy because it
disperses individual decision-making that collectively affects
the well-being of our community. This ownership requires that
people save not only for their own homes; it encourages activi-
ty in other sections of the economy, creating growth and con-
tributing to a higher quality of life; and
WHEREAS, realtors in Bozeman, as members of the Bozeman Board of Realtors
and the National Association of Realtors, are setting aside a
week to celebrate our constitutional freedom to own real proper-
ty. Further the National Association of Realtors asks all
citizens in our community to join in reaffirming this basic
freedom.
THEREORE, I, Kenneth L. Weaver, Mayor of the City of Bozeman, do hereby
proclaim April 18-May 4, 1985, to be
PRIVATE PROPERTY WEEK
in the City of Bozeman and ask all residents of Bozeman to join with the
Bozeman Board of Realtors and its members in setting aside this period
to remind ourselves that we are a free people endowed with the right to
own real property, and given the responsibility to protect that right.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set
my hand and caused the great seal of the
Seal City of Bozeman, in the State of Montana,
to_be affixed at Bozeman, Montana, this
22nd day of April, in the Y8ar of Our Lord
On bousand Nine Hundred and Eighty-Five.
